Whether your tiny tot is sporting an adorable gummy grin or their first lone tooth has made its exciting debut, keeping their smile clean is key to thriving oral health! Begin cleaning your newborn’s mouth by gently wiping their gums with a damp soft cloth after each feeding. When your baby’s first teeth arrive, use a kid-friendly toothbrush with a smear of fluoride toothpaste to carefully clean their smile. To combat cavities early, the American Dental Association recommends taking your little one in for their first dental visit as soon as their first pearly whites appear!

This stage of development is a wonderful time to make daily dental habits feel imaginative, informative, and playful! From the ages of 4-5, your little brushing buddy can level up to a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and brush twice a day to their favorite two-minute tune.

You can also encourage positive dental hygiene by letting your child pick out a toothbrush adorned with their favorite color or character.

One of the best ways to spur on excellent oral hygiene for kids is to make their daily dental routines feel fun! Invite them for a twice-a-day toothbrush boogie by playing their favorite two-minute song and demonstrating proper brushing and flossing techniques. Little ones will notice your enthusiasm and associate their morning and nighttime dental hygiene with something to look forward to. As soon as two teeth are touching, be sure to gently floss those pearly whites and tell sugar bugs to skedaddle. With our playful and informative approach to dental care, your child will love their routine oral hygiene appointments here at Limestone Pediatric Dentistry.
Candy, cookies, and chips may be calling your tiny brusher’s name, but cavity-causing bacteria love to munch on these simple carbs, too! To help prevent cavities and tooth decay, swap out sugary snacks with fresh fruits and veggies, protein-rich foods like cheese and lean meats, and whole grains. Always opt for water in favor of soda or fruit juice to cleanse away leftover food particles and sugar. At Limestone Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Lindsey will provide a tailored treatment plan with delicious nutrient-packed options to help your kiddo maintain a healthy smile and happy taste buds!
Sports dentistry focuses on the overall dental needs of athletes – especially those at risk for oral injuries. If you have a tiny all-star who plays contact sports like football, soccer, or basketball, mouthguards are essential for shielding their smile and preventing serious oral injuries. At Limestone Pediatric Dentistry, we offer comfortable custom-fitted mouthguards to provide superior protection for your child’s teeth and gums. Dr. Lindsey is here to help your little athlete stay on top of their game, so book a consultation today!
