What is a Pediatric Dentist?
Pediatric dentists are dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teen years. They have the experience and qualifications to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood.

Children begin to get their baby teeth during the first 6 months of life. By age 6 or 7 years, they start to lose their first set of teeth, which eventually are replaced by secondary, permanent teeth. Without proper dental care, children face possible oral decay and disease that can cause a lifetime of pain and complications. Today, early childhood dental caries—an infectious disease—is 5 times more common in children than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever.

Back-To-School Dental Health Tips 📚🍎✏

1. Develop a Dental Routine 🦷
It’s important to teach your kids good dental hygiene habits early in life so they will be better equipped to maintain good oral health, which also improves overall health. Most children don’t understand the concept of time, which often results in failure to brush their teeth for the appropriate amount of time. There are fun-looking tooth brushing timers that can help you and your child track how long they brush their teeth. Make sure they brush their teeth a minimum of two times a day.

2. Pack a Healthy Lunch 🍎🧀
Make sure your kids are well equipped with a healthy lunch. Avoid sodas and fruit juices, as they are more acidic and break down tooth enamel. Cheeses are a great lunch addition because they have recently been shown to help protect teeth against cavities by protecting the enamel. By including a portable healthy lunch, you can help manage the food your child eats.

3. Schedule Twice-Per-Year Appointments with Your Dentist 👨🏼‍⚕️
A dentist will provide a deep cleaning of your child’s teeth, a proper oral examination and will address any potential issues—such as cavities or gum disease. Finding these problems early on will prevent them intensifying in the future.

Contact our office to schedule an appointment at 650-351-6789.

"IMPORTANCE OF BRUSHING YOUR TONGUE 👅"
Did you know that your tongue is not actually a smooth surface? That is why you need to make sure you are always brushing your tongue! There are so many crevices and ridges throughout your tongue and in between taste buds that bacteria LOVES to hide out there.

Most of rinse our mouths, after brushing our teeth and flossing and we have always just assumed that meant we were getting rid of the bacteria hiding out on the surface of our tongue. But unfortunately, this is incorrect! The mouthwash only gets rid of the top layer of bacteria, so we need to make sure that we brush side to side and back and forth, then rinse. This will loosen everything up and allow us to rid of the bacteria when we spit the rinse.

Just remember that you want to avoid over brushing your teeth so that you do not break the skin.

Bacteria in your mouth causes bad breath and tooth decay. So doing your best at Cleaning, flossing and brushing your tongue combined with regular cleanings at your dentist you can be saving yourself the headaches of advanced dental work in the future.

"Sippy Cups"

Sippy cups should be used as a training tool from the bottle to a cup and should be discontinued by the first birthday. If your child uses a sippy cup throughout the day, fill the sippy cup with water only (except at mealtimes). By filling the sippy cup with liquids that contain sugar (including milk, fruit juice, sports drinks, etc.) and allowing a child to drink from it throughout the day, it soaks the child’s teeth in cavity causing bacteria.

"Teenagers Having Gum Disease"
Teenagers get cavities. Grownups get gum disease. That’s what everyone thinks. But actually teenagers are at just a great of risk of gingivitis as adults. In fact, 60% of 15-year-olds already have gingivitis, the early stages of full-blown gum disease. And while this is bad news, if the condition is recognized and treated early, your teens gums can get back to health in no time.

When left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and bone deterioration.

If your teen suffers from gingivitis, or you’re concerned about his or her oral healthcare habits, give us a call for an appointment. (650) 351- 6789.

How Breastfeeding Affects Your Baby’s Dental Health

🔸Breastfeeding Helps Your Child Develop a Better Bite
A 2015 study published in Pediatrics found that babies who were exclusively breastfed for six months were 72% less likely to have crooked teeth. This means these babies were less likely to develop open bites, cross bites, and over bites compared to infants who were breastfed for less than six months or not at all.
According to experts, the reasons why breastfed babies have a lower risk of developing misaligned teeth or jaws is due to the muscle mechanics required during breastfeeding. Unlike feeding with a bottle, a breastfed baby uses their jaw, tongue and facial muscles in a more coordinated way which helps to strengthen the baby’s jaw muscles. A stronger jaw creates a better foundation for proper alignment of a child’s teeth.
However, just because you’re breastfeeding your baby, that doesn’t mean they won’t need braces when they’re older. Other factors, like genetics, pacifier use, and thumb sucking, can affect the alignment of your child’s teeth, too. Therefore, you should limit your child’s pacifier use and thumb sucking habits.

🔸Breastfeeding Decreases the Risk of Baby Bottle Tooth Decay
Another benefit of breastfeeding your Hendricks County baby is, your child has a reduced risk of developing baby bottle tooth decay. This type of tooth decay often occurs when an infant is placed in bed with a bottle of formula, milk or fruit juice. The baby will often fall asleep with the bottle in their mouth, which exposes their teeth to the sugars in the liquid for a longer time. This type of tooth decay often occurs in a baby’s upper front teeth. However, your child’s other teeth may be affected, too.

🔸Breastfeeding Can Still Cause Cavities
Just like formula, breast milk contains sugar. Therefore, you need to take care of your infant’s teeth and gums beginning shortly after birth. Make sure to burp your baby after every feeding to reduce the chance of breast milk pooling in their mouth. Every day, wipe your baby’s gums with a clean, moist gauze pad or soft washcloth. Once your infant’s teeth start to come in, brush them with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.

🔸Schedule Your Child’s First Dental Appointment
Typically, your baby’s primary teeth will start coming in around 6 months of age. Contact here us California Dental Home for your child's first dental appointment.

If you have any questions about your baby’s dental health, call us at 650-351-6789. Start your baby’s teeth on the right path for a healthier smile that lasts a lifetime. 🧡
