The key to cavity prevention is from the beginning, when teeth first emerge. Parents often have questions about how to take care of their children's teeth. When should you start brushing? When should you go to the dentist? Knowing the answers to these questions can help you keep your kids teeth healthy and cavity free. You should start cleaning your child's teeth as soon as they get their first tooth and all children need regular dental care starting at age three.
Children are affected by decay as soon as they emerge and occur faster in children's mouths than in adults. By brushing your child's teeth you remove the plaque bacteria which are responsible for this tooth decay. The key to making your child brush id to make it fun. One way to make it fun for them is have them brush your teeth or practice on their favorite doll. It is also very important to take your child to the dentist to make sure their teeth are growing properly. We welcome you to schedule your child's first appointment at Dr. O'Neil's office in Tamarac, Florida. And remember, we are now open early mornings, evenings, and Saturdays for your convenience.
