How to Care for Tiny Teeth

Here at Hamlin Dental Group our priority is to promote good oral hygiene for patients of all agents, and that includes the youngest patients with the newest teeth. Many first time parents understandably have plenty of questions when it comes to knowing what kind of dental care to give, but as leading center for family dentistry our expert team has your back with the answers you need! 

• Good dental care begins even before the first teeth appear! Get into the habit of gently wiping your baby’s gums with a soft, clean rag. This prevents the build-up of bacteria.
• When the primary teeth appear, brush them gently with a soft, child’s brush and a very tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste.
• Take them to their first dental checkup by their first birthday.
• When they get old enough, help your child brush on their own to instill strong dental habits and reinforce good oral hygiene.

If you do your part as a parent to help protect your kid’s teeth, and partner up with an experienced dentist like Hamlin, your kids will be sure to have a future with bright, healthy teeth!
