Dental Tips for Parents
Educating parents early on is one of the most effective ways of preventing dental cavities and other dental problems in children.
Schedule your child’s first dental visit no later than their first birthday.
Put only water in the bottle that your child uses at bedtime.
Provide a well balanced diet for your child. Limit snack and sugar intake.
Brush your child’s teeth in the morning and at bedtime. Floss daily.
Ask your dentist about fluoride supplements or rinses for your child.
Seek regular 6 month dental check-ups.
Monitor harmful oral habits such as thumb-sucking and pacifier use.
Ask your dentist about dental sealants.
