Use toothpaste with fluoride for infants and children
For children younger than 3 years, you should begin brushing a child’s teeth with fluoride toothpaste in an amount no larger than a grain of rice. For children 3 to 6 years of age, use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Consider sealants to prevent decay or treat beginning cavities on the back teeth
Dental sealants act as a barrier to prevent cavities. They are a plastic material applied by a dentist to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay occurs most often. To read the entire article visit MouthHealthy.org.
The American Dental Association has created informative videos called Ask the Dentist. Here is their video on: 'My Child Has a Toothache. Should I Call the Dentist?'
Building Trust with Attentive Care Making our youngest patients comfortable goes well beyond making sure they have toys and blankets. The Lifetime Family Dentistry team is trained to make every moment of their visit a positive one. We listen to their concerns and interact with them directly so they feel special. Reducing bright lights, letting them hug a special friend (stuffed animal), and even using laughing gas if needed will all help eliminate any nervousness about the care they receive. Every treatment is administered with a gentle touch, and every patient leaves with a bright, clean, happy smile! When Should Your Child Start? The American Dental Association recommends the first appointment occur soon after the first baby tooth comes in. We see infants, toddlers, children of every age, all the way through adolescence and into adulthood.
