Dental Questions Parents Often Ask
Everything you need to know before your child’s dental visit.
When the first tooth appears, or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. Early visits help prevent cavities and allow the dentist to monitor your child’s dental development.
Use a small, soft-bristled baby toothbrush designed for infants. Brush gently twice a day to keep your baby’s teeth and gums clean.
Use a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste as soon as the first tooth appears. After age three, a pea-sized amount is recommended.
Baby teeth help children eat, speak, and guide permanent teeth into the correct position. Healthy baby teeth also prevent pain, infections, and future orthodontic problems.
Rinse the mouth with warm salt water and give an age-appropriate pain reliever if needed. Then contact a pediatric dentist as soon as possible to identify and treat the cause.
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings placed on the back teeth to help prevent cavities. They are commonly recommended for children once their permanent molars appear.
