Creating Healthy Habits for Life

One of the biggest goals of Swanson Pediatric Dental Center is to educate both children and parents about maintaining good oral health. Here are some key tips to instill good habits:

  • Brush Twice a Day: Encourage your child to brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste in the morning and before bedtime.
  • Regular Flossing: Teach children to floss daily to prevent gum disease and cavities between teeth.
  • Limit Sweets and Sugary Drinks: Educate them on the risks associated with sugary snacks and beverages.
  • Regular Dental Visits: Schedule regular appointments to keep track of their dental health, starting from their first birthday.

The Importance of Early Dental Visits

At Swanson Pediatric Dental Center, we recommend that children's first dental visit occur by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth emerging. This early introduction helps children become familiar with the dental environment and lessens any anxiety they may have. Early visits allow us to:

  • Assess their oral development.
  • Provide anticipatory guidance regarding teething, pacifiers, and thumb-sucking.
  • Discuss dietary habits and their effects on dental health.
