Prevention Is The Key!
For Babies
• Prevent baby bottle tooth decay by not putting baby to sleep with a bottle, exposing baby to lots of sugary formula, juice or soda pop, or using bottle as a pacifier.
• Clean baby’s gums and teeth after every feeding with a small, damp cloth or gauze pad—even before baby’s teeth have come in!
• Start teaching baby to use a “sippy” or training cup around six months of age; after age one, always drink from a cup (training cup)
• Your child should have their first visit to the dentist around age one.
For Kids
• Limit drinks (especially juices and soda pop) and food high in sugar.
• Choose healthy snacks.
• Find out if your water supply has fluoride. If you drink bottled water, look for a brand that contains fluoride.
• Brush your children’s teeth or, when they are able, have them brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush for about two minutes at least twice a
day. Use a pea-size amount of toothpaste- that is all that is needed to prevent tooth decay.
• Floss daily as soon as the child is able, around six years of age.
• Visit dentist at least once a year.
For Adults
• Brush at least twice daily and floss daily. Limit sugary foods and drinks.
• Visit the dentist at least once a year.
• Set a good example for your children.
