What are the best ways to care for my child’s teeth?
- We recommend that an adult brush your child’s teeth twice a day; in the morning and right before bed
- Reduce sugary drinks and snacks throughout the day
- As soon as your child is able to spit out toothpaste, we recommend switching to fluoridated toothpaste
- Do not allow your child to sleep with a bottle containing milk, formula, or any other drink (with the exception of plain water)
- Bring your child to regular dental checkups to help get them acclimated to the dental office and to ensure that any problems are caught early
