Around age six, the first permanent molars usually appear behind the baby teeth without replacing them.

Did you know these were adult teeth when they first came in? 😊

Sugary snacks happen, especially for kids.

Encouraging a quick rinse with water afterward helps wash away sugar acids and gives enamel extra protection between brushings.

Does your child already have a rinse with water habit after snacks?

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body.

Even stronger than bone, enamel protects growing teeth every single day. That strength helps kids chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

What do you think your child would guess is the strongest part of the body?

After acidic foods like fruit or juice, wait 30 minutes before brushing.

Brushing too soon can wear down softened enamel.
Giving teeth a little time helps protect them.

Did you know timing matters when it comes to brushing?
