When your little one is hurting, it’s natural to want a quick fix, but not all teething remedies are created equal! 🦷⚠️

Many popular items on the market (or circulating in parent groups) can pose serious safety risks to babies.

Safe alternatives:
🧊 Chilled (not frozen solid) rubber teething rings
🧼 A clean, damp washcloth to chew on
💆 Gently massaging their gums with a clean finger

Save this post to keep in your back pocket, and stick to dentist-approved methods instead!

Brush your teeth, kids! 🤣🪥

What do you think the real question was? 🤭

Did you know? The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s first dental checkup by their first tooth or first birthday, whichever comes first! 🦷🎉

Starting early isn’t about fixing big problems, it’s about preventing them! A first-year visit allows Dr. Burns to:

👶 Check for healthy jaw and tooth development
🪥 Share easy tips for soothing teething gums & brushing tiny teeth
🦷 Help your little one get used to our office so the dentist is never a scary place!

Whether they have a full mouth of baby teeth or just one cute little sprout, we can't wait to welcome them aboard! ✨

We dug deep into the Happy Harbor vault for this one... throwback to over 16 years ago, when Dr. Burns officially earned his Tooth Fairy wings!

Do you think Dr. Burns should bring this outfit back for Halloween this year? 😆

Happy National Tooth Fairy Day! 🧚♂️✨🦷

Not all dental visits look the same, and they shouldn't! 💙✨

For kiddos with autism, SPD, developmental delays, or complex medical needs, a general dental office can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s where specialized pediatric care steps in!

Dr. Burns completed years of additional training focused on understanding behavioral cues, sensory adjustments, and adapted techniques so that every child receives the gentle, high-quality care they deserve.
