A dab or a dallop….that is the question
It’s important to know the difference between a dab and a dollop! Here’s some great advice about that, and a few other noteworthy concerns for our patients with kids 🙂
Teaching your children good dental habits early can lead to a healthy smile. Learn oral health tips and how to clean your child’s teeth and prevent cavities.
- Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral in all water sources. toothpaste has an ideal amount for strengthening dental enamel and preventing cavities
- bottled waters may not contain fluoride naturally due to the filtering processes used
- all children 6 months and older should use fluoridated toothpaste when brushing…just use the dab!
- children should have their first dental visit by age 1, or when their first tooth erupts. whichever happens first!
