Use toothpaste with fluoride for infants and children
For children younger than 3 years, you should begin brushing a child’s teeth with fluoride toothpaste in an amount no larger than a grain of rice. For children 3 to 6 years of age, use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Consider sealants to prevent decay or treat beginning cavities on the back teeth
Dental sealants act as a barrier to prevent cavities. They are a plastic material applied by a dentist to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay occurs most often. To read the entire article visit MouthHealthy.org.
The American Dental Association has created informative videos called Ask the Dentist. Here is their video on: 'My Child Has a Toothache. Should I Call the Dentist?'
You can bring the whole family, because Dr. Butler and his team will make young patients of all ages feel comfortable in their care. We administer the latest advancements in children's dentistry and do so with gentle thoughtfulness. We want your children to maintain their natural teeth for a lifetime, so we teach them proper daily dental hygiene. We look forward to their first visit at age 6 and every year thereafter.
We want all generations of children to feel relaxed and confident for their treatment. We provide a happy environment and a friendliness that makes children feel at ease. Our parents have been very pleased that we can help with an active or scared child so they can actually enjoy their visits. Butler Family Dental Chris A.
