  Dental Education for Babies & Children

  Parents often have many questions about dental hygiene for their children, especially if it’s their first child. At what age should children start brushing their teeth? Should they be flossing? Bandon Dental provides professional dental education for parents in order to teach their children the proper habits needed to foster healthy growth and development of their teeth and gums.

  Caring for Baby Teeth

  Toddlers often grow their first baby teeth before they’re able to walk, so parents must be vigilant and willing to put a lot of effort into cleaning their babies’ teeth as soon as they start to grow. Brushing your baby’s teeth gently is important until they’re able to do it by themselves, but parents must also ensure that their children are maintaining a good routine.

  Dietary Advice for Children

  One of the most effective ways of preventing tooth decay and cavities in children is to provide them with a healthy diet. Babies should be given appropriate soft foods and milk or formula, but as they grow older, avoid food and beverages with refined sugars. Natural sugars and honey should also be limited. Bandon Dental can provide parents with dietary advice for babies and young children.

  Oral Hygiene Instruction for Children

  Children should be brushing their teeth at least twice per day, but how do they brush? When should children begin to floss and how can they learn to do it themselves? Children and parents alike can learn proper techniques for brushing their teeth, including the do’s and don’ts of oral hygiene from our qualified dentists at Bandon Dental.

  Baby & Child Dental Planning

  Since babies grow and develop so fast, keeping up with changes to their teeth and bite is essential throughout their development. This means that parents must adapt to changes in their baby’s development, such as teaching them to floss when their baby teeth start to fully grow in.
