Child Dental Care


As your child grows, it's important to take good care of their baby teeth. While they do eventually fall out, baby teeth help your child bite and chew food, speak properly. Most importantly, baby teeth save space for the permanent teeth, helping guide them into place.


Underneath baby teeth, the position and roots of the adult teeth are growing into place. Research shows that children who develop cavities in their baby teeth are more likely to develop cavities as an adult, so be sure to build the habit of good oral hygiene with regular dental checkups. It is important to keep your child's baby teeth clean, and once the permanent teeth start to come in you really need to make cleaning them a priority. To make sure their permanent teeth will last a lifetime.


Brushing & Flossing

When kids are around 2 years old, you can start brushing their teeth with toothpaste. And as soon as two teeth touched each other, you can start flossing their teeth. But with an older kid, they probably want to do it themselves. It's great to let them practice. After they are done, you should check their work and brush their teeth a second time. Most children won't be able to brush their teeth well on their own until they are about 8 years old.


Losing Teeth

Kids lose 20 baby teeth over five to seven years. The first wiggly tooth usually shows up when they are around 5 or 6 years old, but it can happen as late as around 8 years old. You can encourage kids to keep wiggling it until the tooth can fall out on it's own, and remember that it can take a few months for the tooth to be fully ready to fall out.

Practicing good sleep hygiene is vital for ensuring quality rest. Keeping a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding heavy meals before bed, and creating a relaxing environment can improve sleep quality. Avoiding screen time before bed helps signal to your brain that it’s time to wind down. Good sleep allows the body to repair and recharge, supporting both mental and physical health for the day ahead.

Child dental care is essential for healthy development, focusing on regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Teaching good oral hygiene early prevents cavities, gum disease, and other issues. A balanced diet, limited sugary snacks, and fluoride treatments further support strong teeth, ensuring a lifetime of healthy smiles for children.

Hydration is often overlooked but is vital for maintaining health. Drinking enough water helps with digestion, nutrient absorption, and skin health. It’s essential to consume adequate fluids throughout the day, especially during hot weather or after exercising. Herbal teas and infusing water with fruits can make hydration more enjoyable. is grits okay for diabetics

Good oral hygiene is vital for overall health. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. Don’t forget to brush your tongue to remove bacteria and keep your breath fresh!
