Colgate #EveryDropCounts

At the dental convention this weekend, we stopped at the Colgate booth, and participated in an interactive session. They played this video, so we thought we would share with all of you. Have a great evening, and remember....Turn the faucet off. :)

WHEN SHOULD KIDS START BRUSHING ?? Good dental care begins before a baby's first tooth appears. Just because you can't see the teeth doesn't mean they aren't there. Teeth actually begin to form in the second trimester of pregnancy. At birth, your baby has 20 primary teeth, some of which are fully developed in the jaw. Here's when and how to care for those little choppers: Even before your baby starts teething, run a clean, damp washcloth over the gums to clear away harmful bacteria. Once your baby gets teeth, brush them with an infant toothbrush. Once your baby's teeth touch, you can begin flossing in between them. Around age 2, your child should learn to spit while brushing. Avoid giving your child water to swish and spit because this might make swallowing toothpaste more likely. Kids ages 3 and up should use only a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Always supervise kids younger than 6 while brushing, as they are more likely to swallow toothpaste. Even babies can develop tooth decay if good feeding habits aren't practiced. Putting a baby to sleep with a bottle might be convenient, but can harm the baby's teeth. When the sugars from juice or milk remain on a baby's teeth for hours, they can eat away at the enamel, creating a condition known as bottle mouth. Pocked, pitted, or discolored front teeth are signs of bottle mouth. Call our office to book in a “Happy Visit” for your little one. A Ride in the chair, and cartoons on the ceiling. There are toys to pick out of the treasure box, and everyone gets a little goody bag to go home with. Hope to see you soon.
