Children's Oral Care
— Healthy Habits for Kids

The habits your child builds now protect their teeth for life. A little guidance goes a long way in keeping young smiles healthy.

Caring for young teeth at every age

Start cleaning your baby's teeth as soon as the first one appears, using a soft brush and a smear of fluoride toothpaste. As children grow, supervise brushing until they can do it well themselves — usually around age seven — and help them clean twice a day.

Limit sugary snacks and drinks, which are the main driver of childhood decay, and bring your child for regular check-ups so any issues are caught early and visits stay positive. Building good habits and friendly dental experiences now sets your child up for a healthy adult smile.
