Protect your child's developing smile. Children should visit a dentist by age two. Good dental health begins with good habits at a very young age:
Bottles at bedtime ONLY with water. Napping or sleeping with juice or milk can cause early childhood decay and tooth loss
Early visits lead to a lifetime of good habits
Drink from a cup after age one, then wean from the bottle between 12-14 months
Thumb sucking after age two can create crowded, crooked teeth, or bite problems.
No sugary substances on pacifiers
Limit frequency of sugary snacks and juices
Use the correct size toothbrush and only a pea-size amount of toothpaste for children
Parental supervision — monitor brushing and flossing with kids up to about age 8, when their dexterity gets improves
Be sure children are receiving the proper amount of fluoride
Cavity-causing bacteria can be passed to children from adults — do not clean pacifiers or utensils with your own mouth and then give them to children
