One crucial aspect of oral hygiene that parents should be aware of is the importance of starting dental care early in a child's life. Early dental care not only establishes good oral hygiene habits but also helps prevent dental problems in the future. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by age one or within six months after their first tooth appears. The first baby tooth erupts at about six months of age. Do not worry if your little one has a different rhythm! There is a wide range of normal for this first step.
When the first tooth erupts, it is time to start brushing with a rice-grain-size smear of fluoride toothpaste. This is also a great time to schedule the first dental visit. These are empowering visits where we plan the many important diet, hygiene, and habit shifts that will set your little one up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Exposure to fluoride during childhood provides long-lasting benefits by strengthening tooth enamel. This protection continues into adulthood, reducing the risk of tooth decay and associated dental problems later in life. Since the tap water in New Jersey is not fluoridated, it is essential to keep up with routine dental visits so your child can receive fluoride treatment, and you can discuss other options for fluoride sources with the dentist. By adhering to recommended dental visits and implementing proper oral hygiene practices from the eruption of the first tooth, parents can lay a strong foundation for their child's dental wellness.
