WHAT TO KNOW:

Why are baby teeth so important?

Around the age of 3, a baby’s teeth, called primary teeth, begin to come in. As they grow in, the child may experience soreness or mild discomfort but it is important to ensure they grow in properly. Primary teeth help a child with proper chewing and speech development. They also aid in the development of jawbones and muscles, as well as helping save space for permanent teeth. If a primary tooth falls out too early, the newly grown permanent teeth can drift into the empty space and make it difficult for other permanent teeth to find their correct space. As a result, the permanent teeth may grow in crooked or misaligned. By properly maintaining a child’s oral hygiene from a young age, the risk of having crooked or misaligned teeth is reduced.

What should I tell my child about the first dental visit?

This is a common question that many parents ask us. Our suggestion is simple: treat your visit to the dentist the same way you would when going to get a haircut or going shopping! With a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere at our office, your child will be pleasantly surprised and happy to be here. We recommend encouraging a positive attitude towards the dentist office as it will also lead to your child being excited to maintain their own oral hygiene, such as brushing their teeth!

What about preventative care?

Using the most advanced and latest technology, we strive to ensure your child’s teeth are well protected and healthy. With preventative care it is essential to make regular appointments for check-ups and cleanings for your child. With these regular appointments we will be able to set the foundation for your child to maintain their oral hygiene, and give them the healthiest smile possible.

What about sterilization?

Every parent wants to know that their child is receiving the best treatment possible and clean equipment is the key. At Advanced Dental Bronx – Children's Dentist we use state-of-the-art sterilization procedures and a single use Isolate System from Zyris. After each patient, all equipment, as well as the treatment area, is thoroughly sterilized and disinfected. Using an advanced washing system, provided by SciCan, we clean all equipment used during any procedure, as well as heat sterilizing any non-disposable instruments. During any procedure, our staff is equipped with gloves and masks to maintain the cleanest environment possible. We understand how important maintaining a clean office is, and do our absolute best to ensure it. For additional information, please contact our staff at Advanced Dental – Children's Dentist and we would be happy to help or answer any further questions.

EARLY CHILDHOOD TOOTH DECAY

Tooth decay usually occurs when sugary foods become trapped between the teeth and are not brushed out or flossed out properly. The bacteria in the food breaks down the enamel which can lead to cavities and tooth decay. Below is a short list of the best ways of avoiding this from happening:

Brush your teeth regularly with a fluoride-containing toothpaste
Make regular appointments to the dentist for check-ups and cleanings (recommended to do so every 6 months)
Floss regularly
Use mouthwash
Avoid eating too many sugary foods

What is fluoride?

Often added to drinking water, fluoride is a natural mineral that helps prevent tooth decay and cavities from forming. Fluoride is able to harden the enamel on baby teeth before they emerge, as well as the enamel on adult teeth that have already grown in. If your drinking water is fluoridated, it is considered sufficient enough for adults and children with healthy teeth. However, if your water does not contain fluoride, we recommend asking your doctor about fluoride supplements.

TOOTH BRUSHING & FLOSSING

Because children have different mouths than adults do, it is recommended that children use toothbrushes especially designed to be children friendly. Toothbrushes with soft bristles and a small amount of toothpaste is required for gentle cleaning for children, as well as replacing your toothbrush every few months. At a younger age, when your baby’s teeth begin to grow in, you can use a moist cloth in order to clean the teeth. At Advanced Dental Bronx – Children’s Dentist we suggest teaching your child how to brush their teeth by age two or three. For more information on the optimal way to brush and maintain your healthy teeth, please feel free to contact our team at Advanced Dental Bronx –Children's Dentist.

Below is a short list of tips and tricks for getting your child to enjoy brushing their teeth:
Let your child pick out a toothbrush they really like, such as one with their favourite T.V. characters on it, or a brush in their favourite colour.
Have the entire family brush their teeth at the same time to show your child it is a fun and enjoyable experience!
Have your child tray a battery operated tooth brush
Use child friendly mouth wash
Ask us about our child friendly toothpaste!

Creating a fun tooth brushing routine at home can be the key to having your child become accustomed to brushing their own teeth. Sticking to the routine each day will give your child a fun activity they want to be a part of, and will result in clean and beautiful teeth!
