Bacteria can grow in any mouth, regardless of the presence of teeth. And if the bacteria is already there, it can cause teeth to begin to decay as soon as they erupt from the gums, which causes other problems down the road.
There are so many things to remember. The earlier you find a dental home you feel safe and comfortable at, the more likely your child will be growing up not scared of the dentist. Book an Appointment.
The staff is very perfesional and caring. The dentist assistants are remarkable and take pride in their work. They spent their time cleaning my youngest son's teeth very gently, while walking my baby through everything so they were comfortable. The Dentist is absolutely over the top and definitely loves what she does. She took the time to explain everything that was going on with my boys. She answered any questions or concerns I had in a very professional manner.
Definitely the best Dentistry I have ever seen! Below are questions we get asked a lot and their answers. In short, yes! We recommend that you start cleaning your child's gums with a soft, clean cloth and water at birth. Additionally, mothers need to care for their own teeth well, too, as they can pass bacteria along to their children see below for more. As soon as your child's teeth break through the gums, brush the teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush. If they are under the age of 2, use a small "smear" of toothpaste.
Be sure and use an ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste and make sure your child does not swallow it. Once they turn 2, you can use a "pea-size" amount of toothpaste. When brushing, the parent should brush the child's teeth until they are old enough to do a good job on their own. Flossing not only removes plaque from between teeth but also from under the gumline where a toothbrush can't reach. Flossing should begin when any two teeth touch.
