Is your child's breath less than fresh? You're not alone!
Bad breath in kids is a concern we hear frequently and is often an easy fix — consistent brushing, flossing, and tongue cleaning go a long way. But if the problem persists even with good hygiene, it's worth bringing up to Drs. Vakili and Lam at their next dental visit, as it can sometimes signal mouth breathing, sinus issues, or reflux.

Your child's first lost tooth is a big milestone, and it usually starts around age 6 with the front teeth.

As your child grows, their back teeth are typically lost between ages 10–12, making room for permanent teeth by the early teen years. Most kids love to wiggle their teeth loose on their own, but if one is ready to come out, a quick, gentle twist with clean gauze can help. If you have any questions, give us a call or visit our website.

One of the easiest ways to get kids excited about eating healthy foods is to invite them to help you prepare them. Here's a recipe that supports tooth development you can make with your little one!

Why it’s great for teeth: Greek yogurt and milk are rich in calcium and phosphorus, which help strengthen enamel. Bananas are low in acid and contain essential nutrients like potassium that support overall oral health. Strawberries contain malic acid, which can naturally help brighten teeth. And unlike sugary smoothies, there’s no added sugar here!

From uneven teeth to that in-between smile phase, many things parents worry about are completely normal during development.

When in doubt, it never hurts to ask Drs. Vakili and Lam: (650) 372-9292
