Dental Services: St. Petersburg Dental Center/Florida



Kid's need healthy teeth for chewing, speaking clearly, and having a bright smile. With the many advances in denistry and oral care, today's children are more likely than ever to grow up with strong, healthy teeth. Good oral care begins with you, the parent, you play an important role in your child's dental health. Whether you're teaching your child how to brush properly or taking them to the dentist for a checkup, keeping your child enthusiastic and motivated about caring for his or her teeth is very important. Quick Guide to Starting Early Your child's first dental visit should be between the eruption of the first tooth and his or her first birthday. Brush your children's teeth until they are around three years old, then start encouraging them to join in. Supervise their brushing until age eight. Children under four should use a simple brushing technique - such as a small, circular brushing motion. Select a children's toothbrush with a small brushhead and soft bristles. Use only a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Teach your child to rinse and spit out any toothpaste left after brushing. *Disclaimer: The information on this website is not intended to substitute for the medical expertise and advice of your dentist or healthcare provider.
