You’re role

As a parent, you can play a big roll in keeping your child’s teeth healthy and clean. Prevention begins at home, with health eating habits and daily cleaning of the teeth.

Nutrition for Children

Why is sugar bad for teeth? When your child eats or drinks sugars, the sugars mix with the bacteria in your child’s mouth to make a mild acid. This acid erodes the enamel and can make or cavities in the teeth.

Child Dental Tips

Cleaning Teeth – Young children are not able to clean their own teeth. As a parent, you must do it for them when they are very young and do it with them as they get older.

Dental Development – All 20 baby (or primary) teeth come in by the time your child is two or three years old.

Early Childhood Tooth Decay – Once your child has teeth, he or she is susceptible to tooth decay.

Your Child’s First Visit – The Canadian Dental Association encourages the assessment of infants, by a dentist, within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth or by one year of age.

Fluoride & Your Child – Fluoride is a mineral found in nature. It makes the hard outer layer of teeth (called enamel) stronger. When the outer layer is strong, teeth are less likely to get cavities.

Pacifiers & Thumb Sucking – It is normal for babies to suck because it helps them relax. By the time your child is two or three years of age, he or she has less need to suck.
