When Should My Child Visit the Dentist?
Your child should visit the dentist by their first birthday.It is important that your child’s newly-emerged teeth receive proper dental care and benefit from proper oral hygiene habits from the beginning!
Good Dental Hygiene Tips
We recommend children brushing four times a day for optimal oral hygiene: after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, and at bedtime. Remember that sugary foods and liquids can attack a new tooth, so make sure that your child is brushing properly!
Brushing can be fun, and your child should brush as soon as the first tooth arrives. When a baby’s tooth emerges, parents should brush the tooth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. For children younger than two, do not use fluoride toothpaste unless advised to do so by your dentist or other healthcare professional.
Flossing is also a part of good oral hygiene habits, and your doctor will discuss with you the right time to start flossing. If you notice signs of decay, contact your child’s dentist immediately.
