Pediatric Dental Care

Healthy teeth start early. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help prevent cavities and support healthy growth and development.

Tips for Healthy Smiles

  • Brush your child's teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Begin flossing once teeth begin to touch.
  • Limit sugary drinks and snacks, and encourage drinking fluoridated water.
  • Replace toothbrushes every 3 to 4 months or when the bristles become frayed.

Dental Visits

  • Children should see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing.
  • Schedule regular dental checkups every six months, or as recommended by your dentist.

Remember

Healthy baby teeth are important for eating, speaking, and guiding permanent teeth into place. Building good oral health habits early can help your child maintain a healthy smile for life.
