Did you know children should see a dentist by their first birthday? Early dental care helps prevent cavities, teaches healthy habits, and ensures your child’s smile develops the way it should.

Important reminders:
🦷 Brush twice a day with a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste
🍼 Avoid letting little ones fall asleep with bottles
🍓 Limit sugary snacks and juices
👶 Dental visits help catch small issues early

If you ever need guidance on brushing routines or tooth concerns, our team is here to support your family. 💛

Welcome to our new Ask a Provider series! Each month, we’ll take a common parent question and break it down into simple, evidence-based guidance.

This month’s question:
“When should my toddler switch from a bottle to a cup?”
🍼 Most toddlers are ready around 12–18 months.
🥤 Prolonged bottle use can affect teeth and appetite.
✨ Introducing cups early helps with oral development and reduces cavities.

Have a question you want answered? Drop it below- we love helping parents feel informed and supported. 💛

Packing lunches every day can feel repetitive, especially after winter break. Adding variety and nutritional balance can support your child’s energy, focus, and overall well-being during the school day.

Consider including:
• A fruit they enjoy (berries, apples, mandarins)
• A vegetable with a dip
• A protein source such as yogurt, cheese, eggs, or turkey
• Whole grains for steady energy
• A fun, wholesome snack to look forward to

If you have concerns about nutrition, growth, or picky eating, we’re happy to help support your family’s goals this semester. 💛

Ear infections peak during winter due to increased upper respiratory infections and congestion. While many resolve on their own, others require evaluation and sometimes antibiotics. Recognizing symptoms can help you know when to call.

Common signs include:
• Ear pain or pulling at the ears
• Fever
• Fussiness, especially when lying down
• Decreased appetite
• New sleep disturbances
• Drainage from the ear

If your child seems uncomfortable or symptoms persist, please reach out. We’re here to help determine the best course of care and ensure your child feels better as quickly as possible. 💛

Screens are part of modern life, but many families notice that excessive use can impact sleep, emotional regulation, and daily routines. January is a great time to reflect on screen habits and build healthier rhythms for the year ahead.

Consider trying:
• “No screen” zones, such as bedrooms or dinner tables
• Consistent limits for school days vs. weekends
• Clear expectations for homework, chores, or activities before screens
• Cozy, screen-free evening routines to support better sleep
• Modeling mindful screen use as parents and caregivers

If your child struggles with sleep, focus, or behavioral changes, adjusting screen time can be a meaningful step. 💛

Caring for a newborn during the winter months comes with extra questions- How warm should the house be? Is dry skin normal? How do I protect my baby from seasonal illnesses? These are all common concerns, and you’re not alone.

For winter newborn care, we recommend:
• Keeping indoor temperatures comfortable and consistent
• Using a humidifier to reduce dry skin and congestion
• Limiting bath time and moisturizing afterward
• Dressing your baby in light, soft layers
• Keeping sick visitors to a minimum, especially during the first few weeks

If you ever need guidance, reassurance, or help distinguishing what’s normal from what needs attention, we’re here for your growing family. 💛

Car seat safety plays a critical role in protecting children during travel, but many injuries occur due to improper installation or harness fit. Taking time to review car seat guidelines can help ensure your child is as safe as possible on every ride.

Important safety reminders include:
• Choosing a car seat that matches your child’s age, weight, and height
• Installing the seat according to manufacturer and vehicle instructions
• Ensuring the harness fits snugly and lies flat
• Avoiding bulky clothing or padding that interferes with harness contact
• Keeping children rear-facing for as long as recommended

If you’re unsure whether your child’s car seat is properly installed or if it’s time to transition to a new seat, our team is always happy to help guide you. 💛

Sabrina Dorris (left) and I, Dr Kim Smith (middle) have worked together since 2005 and have enjoyed growing our practice in such a wonderful community. We opened Lone Star Kids Care in October 2016 with our office manager Katie Allsop (right), and it has become our pride and joy.

At Lone Star Kids Care, we strive to provide comprehensive quality pediatric care, and to deliver it in a loving and compassionate manner to our patients. We enjoy seeing them grow into healthy and successful young adults supported by friends and family. It is our long term goal to continue providing this continuity of care, while establishing close partnerships with our families.
