Birth to Two Years

  • Before your child's teeth erupt, clean the gums and mouth with a soft cloth or infant toothbrush at bath time.
  • NEVER dip a pacifier in anything sweet. 
  • For teething babies, provide a firm, rubber teething ring. Avoid liquid-filled teething rings or anything plastic that may break. 
  • Start your child going to a pediatric dentist by the time of their first birthday to establish a "Dental Home". We can help you establish a daily regimen, provide recommendations and determine your next visit.

Two to Five

  • Brush your child's teeth at least TWICE a day, once in the morning and once at night. The most important time to brush is right before bed. 
  • Schedule their dental visits every six months.
  • Sucking on a thumb or pacifier can affect your child's teeth. If your child doesn't stop by age three, you should start discouraging it. 
  • Watch for excessive snacking. Children should have no more than three snacks a day.
  • Begin flossing the teeth when any two teeth are touching. 
  • Avoid Juices. Try to limit the amount of juice to less than six ounces a day.

School - Age Children

  • Supervise the brushing of teeth until your child is around eight years old.
  • Have your child floss daily. 
  • You child may chew gum with Xylitol along with brushing and flossing. 
  • Protect your child's teeth with a mouth guard when they participate in recreational activities or sports.
  • Avoid carbonated beverages.
