Pediatric dental care is a partnership between our clinic and your home. While regular dental
visits are crucial, daily oral hygiene practices are equally vital. Here are some tips to ensure
your child’s smile remains bright and healthy:
1. Start Early: Begin cleaning your baby’s gums with a soft cloth before teeth emerge.
2. First Tooth, First Brush: When the first tooth arrives, use a tiny smear of fluoride
toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush.
3. Set the Example: Children love to mimic. Let them see you brushing and flossing to instill good habits.
4. Make It Fun: Turn brushing into a game or play their favorite song to make it enjoyable.
5. Choose Healthy Snacks: Opt for nutritious snacks over sugary treats to promote strong teeth.
6. Regular Brushing and Flossing: As your child grows, continue to supervise brushing and introduce flossing.
Remember, pediatric dental care sets the stage for a lifetime of oral health. By instilling good habits and creating positive experiences, you’re giving your child the gift of a radiant smile and the knowledge to maintain it.
