How Do Pediatric Dentistry Appointments Protect Your Child’s Smile?

• Regular dental cleanings will prevent decay and promote a lifetime of healthy dental behavior.
• Regular dental cleanings can help your child prevent gum disease and the loss of their permanent teeth.
• Regular dental cleanings remove the decay causing tartar that can’t be removed by brushing alone.
• Regular dental cleanings get rid of stains that can’t be removed with brushing and flossing.
• Regular dental checkups will ensure that malocclusion issues are addressed in the earliest stages.
• Dr. Kirk can protect your child’s teeth from decay with dental sealants and fluoride treatments.

Seven Pediatric Dentistry Tips to Promote Your Child’s Healthy Smile

• Make sure your child uses fluoride based toothpaste for maximum protection from dental decay.
• Use only a pea-sized dab of toothpaste for children aged 3-6, and only slightly more for older children.
• Teach your child to spit out and not swallow toothpaste when they’re done brushing.
• For children under 3, start brushing their teeth with a children’s toothbrush and no more than a grain of rice sized quantity of fluoride toothpaste.
• Teach your child to place the toothbrush at an angle against their gums as they brush.
• Teach your child to move the brush back and forth in short, gentle strokes.
• Teach your child to always brush the front, back, and top of their teeth.
