Taking care of your baby's oral health from day one is crucial. As soon as that first tiny tooth appears, it's time to start thinking about proper dental hygiene. Baby teeth play a vital role in helping children develop clear speech and healthy jaw growth. Premature loss of these primary teeth due to cavities can lead to complications with permanent teeth, such as misalignment or developmental issues.
It's essential to establish good habits early on. You can begin by gently wiping your baby's gums and emerging teeth with a soft cloth or infant toothbrush after feedings. This simple step removes bacteria and food particles that could harm delicate gums and emerging teeth. Once the first tooth arrives, introduce a small amount of fluoride-free toothpaste—about the size of a grain of rice—and increase this to a pea-sized amount once your child turns three. Always ensure you're brushing gently but thoroughly to prevent plaque buildup.
Regular dental checkups should commence around your child's first birthday or when their first tooth emerges. These appointments allow us to monitor their oral development and address any potential concerns before they escalate into bigger problems. Our experienced pediatric dentists are here to guide both you and your child through each stage of dental care, ensuring they grow up confident in maintaining their smile.
