💥Using small amounts of fluoride on a routine basis can help prev tooth decay.
In areas where fluoride does not occur naturally, it may be added to community water supplies.
💥Research shows that community water fluoridation has lowered decay rates by over 50 percent, which means that fewer children grow up with cavities. Fluoride can be found as an active ingredient in many dental products such as toothpaste, mouth rinses, gels and varnish.

💥How does fluoride prevent cavities?
Fluoride inhibits loss of minerals from tooth enamel and encourages remineralization (strengthening areas that are weakened and beginning to develop cavities). Fluoride also affects bacteria that cause cavities, discouraging acid attacks that break down the tooth. 💥Risk for decay is reduced even more when fluoride is combined with a healthy diet and good oral hygiene.

✨We have SO MUCH research that indicates Fluoride not only being safe in the right dosage but a positive oral health agent for your child!! ✨

“When can my child brush on their own?”
This is one of the most asked questions we hear from parents and the answer might surprise you!

Here’s the kid-dentist scoop
✨ Brushing:
As soon as that first little tooth pops through, it’s time to start brushing — gently, twice a day, with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

But here’s the part most parents don’t realize:
👉 Kids need hands-on brushing help until about age 7–8.
Why? Because fine motor skills aren’t fully developed yet — which means they simply can’t clean thoroughly on their own, even if they want to!

A good rule of thumb:
🖐️ If they can’t tie their own shoes, they still need brushing help.

✨ Flossing:
Start flossing as soon as any two teeth touch.
Once a day is all it takes to prevent cavities from hiding between those tiny teeth.

💡 Parent Tip:
Let them brush first, then you “double-check and finish.” Think of it as quality time and cavity prevention.

Healthy habits now = confident smiles later 😁

🧃 Let’s Talk Juice + Your Child’s Teeth! 🦷
Parents, we know those little juice boxes are convenient (and kiddos love them)… but here’s the truth: juice can be tough on baby teeth.

Even 100% fruit juice is packed with natural sugars, and when those sugars sit on teeth, they feed the bacteria that cause cavities. 😬 Baby teeth have thinner enamel, which means they’re more vulnerable to decay — especially with frequent sipping throughout the day.

Here are a few dentist-approved tips to help protect your child’s smile:

✨ Limit juice. The AAP recommends no juice before age 1, and only small amounts afterward. Water is always the best choice!
✨ Avoid constant sipping. Juice in sippy cups all day = sugar sitting on teeth all day.
✨ Serve juice with meals, not as a snack. This reduces how long sugars stay on teeth.
✨ Brush twice a day and don’t forget fluoride toothpaste!

Healthy habits start early, and little changes can make a big difference in keeping those smiles cavity-free. 💛
