As your child\u2019s teeth erupt, be sure to examine them every two weeks, looking for lines and discoloration that may be caused by decay. Remember that sugary foods and liquids can attack a new tooth, so take care that your child brushes after feeding or eating. We recommend brushing four times a day for optimal oral hygiene: after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, and at bedtime.<\/p>\n
Brushing can be fun, and your child should brush as soon as the first tooth arrives. When a baby\u2019s tooth erupts, parents should brush the tooth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. For children younger than two, do not use fluoride toothpaste unless advised to do so by your dentist or other healthcare professional. We suggest reviewing proper tooth brushing procedures with your child.<\/p>\n
Flossing is also a part of good oral hygiene habits, and your doctor will discuss with you the right time to start flossing. If you notice signs of decay, contact your dentist immediately.<\/p>\n

Tooth decay is caused by sugars left in your mouth that turn into an acid which can break down your teeth. Children are at high risk for tooth decay for a simple reason \u2014 many children and adolescents do not practice regular, good oral hygiene habits. Proper brushing and flossing routines combined with regular dental visits help keep tooth decay away.<\/span><\/p>\n Your child should visit the dentist every six months for regular dental cleanings and checkups. We recommend fluoride treatments twice a year along with cleanings to keep teeth their strongest. Tooth sealants are also recommended because they \u201cseal\u201d the deep grooves in your child\u2019s teeth, preventing decay from forming in these hard-to-reach areas. Sealants last for several years, but will be monitored at your regular checkups.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#1b1b1b” custom_padding=”1px||1px||true|” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” max_width=”1170px” max_width_tablet=”450px” max_width_phone=”450px” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin=”-128px|auto|94px|auto|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”-107px||90px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”-91px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” border_color_all=”#01A277″ box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_blur=”80px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.09)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#1B1B1B” background_image=”https:\/\/completedental.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/logo.png” custom_padding=”70px||70px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”70px||70px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”55px||55px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_main_element=”text-align:center;” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f8f8f8″ custom_padding=”50px|50px|50px|80px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”50px|35px|50px|35px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”50px|35px|50px|35px|false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Lato|700||on|||||” text_text_color=”#01A277″ header_text_color=”#01A277″ header_2_font=”Lato|700||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#182333″ header_2_font_size=”35px” custom_margin=”0px||12px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||6px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||6px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” text_line_height_tablet=”” text_line_height_phone=”” text_line_height_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_2_font_size_tablet=”33px” header_2_font_size_phone=”27px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_line_height_tablet=”1.5em” header_2_line_height_phone=”1.5em” header_2_line_height_last_edited=”on|tablet” inline_fonts=”Lato” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Lato|||on|||||” text_text_color=”#8f9195″ text_font_size=”13px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_font=”Lato|||on|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Creating and maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile will improve your life quality.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NEWPATIENTSBORIS MALESPIN, DDSAs your child\u2019s teeth erupt, be sure to examine them every two weeks, looking for lines and discoloration that may be caused by decay.
