Let's keep this easy! Here's when fluoride toothpaste is right for your little one’s smile:

🦷 First tooth: When your child’s first tooth erupts, use a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste.
🦷 Additional teeth: When your child gets more teeth, use a pea-sized amount to protect their oral health.

TIP 💡 Once your child can spit toothpaste out without swallowing it, you can increase the amount of toothpaste they use.

We want your child to receive the best dental care, which is why we prioritize preventive dentistry and good oral habits.

We also know that bills add up quickly for families, which is why take most PPO dental insurance plans and offer special payment options.

Contact our office to discuss your insurance benefits and payment options, and always get in touch with us if your insurance changes.

Sorry to say, but just because juice has fruit on the box doesn't mean it's better for our teeth than pop.

🪥 Which is better: a manual or electric toothbrush?

The best toothbrush for your child is the one they will use!

Even the most expensive toothbrush doesn't do any good if it's buried in a drawer and never gets used, so if your child doesn't like the feeling of an electric toothbrush then a manual toothbrush is going to be more effective.

Now you can put your focus on what matters most: time spent brushing and brushing technique. 🌟

There are a few key things we do a little differently to make sure your children feel comfortable, happy and cared for during their visit.

🎓 Our doctors are specially trained (for two additional years) to learn how to explain procedures to children, along with how to treat patients with special needs.

Fun fact: Dr. Facko completed a two year residency in pediatric dentistry so that he could effectively and successfully treat dental conditions specific to children.

✨ Your children's mouths are still growing! We are focused on proactively treating children to ensure they maintain a beautiful, healthy smile for a lifetime.

Would you believe one piece of candy could be better for your child's oral health than juice? 🍬🧃

This is why it's so important to consider frequency, duration and retention when giving your children sugar.
