What guidelines will help children remain cavity free?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advises: Brush with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day, floss children’s teeth until they are able to do it themselves around age ten and rinse with fluoridated water. Have sealants applied to the chewing surface of permanent back teeth (molars) as soon as they erupt through the gums. Snack moderately and of course, visit the Dentist twice a year to make sure you have a healthy mouth!!
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the following: • Brush with a fluoride toothpaste twice daily (unless your child is under the age of 2 years) • Floss your child’s teeth once daily • Visit your pediatric dentist regularly (generally every 6 months) • Get enough fluoride through drinking water, fluoride products and fluoride supplementation (if necessary) • Have sealants applied to the chewing surfaces of permanent back teeth or molars.
Dr. Parker and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend the following guidelines to help your child grow up cavity free. • Brush your child’s teeth with fluoridated toothpaste twice a day. • Floss your child’s teeth once a day to remove plaque and food in-between teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach. • Get enough fluoride through drinking water, fluoride products and when recommended by Dr. Parker, through fluoride supplements. • Have sealants applied to the chewing surfaces of permanent molars soon after they come in. • Snack moderately – No more than twice a day. • Visit Dr. Parker regularly for check-ups, cleanings and x-rays.
