WHEN SHOULD YOU SEE A PEDIATRIC DENTIST? It is recommended by the Canadian Academy of Pediatric Dentistry that the first dental visit should occur approximately six months after your child's first tooth erupts and no later than age one. Learn more at http://northshorepediatricdentistry.com/

Besides brushing, you should also floss once a day. Flossing removes food and plaque from between your teeth places your toothbrush cannot reach. This is also a great way to help prevent gum disease. You should also make regular visits to your dentist and eat right. Candy and other sticky, sugary foods are bad for your teeth. Eating a good healthy diet, brushing and flossing often, and visiting your dentist regularly are the best way to keep a healthy smile!

This chart tells you when baby teeth come in (or erupt) in most children. Chart of Primary Teeth If your child is getting his or her teeth and seems to be in pain, you can: ~ rub the gums with a clean finger, or ~ rub the gums with the back of a small, cool spoon. ... ~ If your child is still unhappy, your dentist, pharmacist or doctor can suggest an over-the-counter medicine to ease the pain. Here's what you should not do: ~ Do not use the kind of painkiller that can be rubbed on your child's gums. Your child may swallow it. ~ Do not give your child teething biscuits. They may have sugar added or contain hidden sugars. ~ Do not ignore a fever. Getting new teeth does not make babies sick or give them a fever. If your child has a fever, check with your doctor.

At age six or seven, the first adult (or permanent) teeth come in. They are known as the "first molars," or the "six-year molars." They come in at the back of the mouth, behind the last baby (or primary) teeth. They do not replace any primary teeth. Also at around age six, children start to lose their primary teeth. The roots slowly get weak, and the tooth falls out. Children lose primary teeth until they are about 12 years old.... It's okay for children to wiggle their primary teeth if they are loose. But it's not okay to use force to pull out a tooth that's not ready to come out. When a tooth comes out at the right time, there will be very little bleeding.
