When your baby is born, his or her first set of teeth (baby teeth) is already formed under the surface of the gums. These teeth will begin to push through their gums around 6 months old. Baby teeth play a crucial role in eating, speaking, and smiling. They also “hold the space” for adult teeth. It is essential to establish good oral health habits in children as soon as possible. Here are some guidelines from your trusted dentist in Denver to help you do this:

Begin by gently cleaning your child’s mouth and gums with a soft cloth before they even have any teeth. This will keep their gums clean, and it will also get them used to having something in their mouth to clean their teeth as they start to come in. Do not allow your child to develop habits of going to sleep with a bottle or sippy cup, as this often starts an early cycle of decay in your child’s teeth.

This is a good time to introduce your child to a dentist in Wheat Ridge. An easy way to do this in a fun, non-threatening way is to bring them with you to your routine check-up and cleaning. Your child can watch you and the dentist interact. They will see the dentist looking in your mouth, cleaning your teeth, etc. If your child is comfortable, the dentist could have a quick look in their mouth while they sit on your lap in the dental chair.

Doing this a few times with you will help your child understand that the dentist is not “scary”. At this age, your child should begin brushing their teeth twice a day with a child-sized, soft-bristled toothbrush. You will want to be involved with this process, making sure the teeth are brushed thoroughly. Also, you will want to teach your child to spit the toothpaste out and not allow them to swallow it.

Children should have a dental exam and cleaning twice a year by this age. Bitewing x-rays, which allow the dentist to detect cavities in individual teeth, are recommended once a year. A panoramic x-ray that allows the dentist to see an x-ray of your child’s entire mouth, including the developing adult teeth, should be taken once every 2-3 years. Sealants will be recommended as molars start growing in. The dentist will begin to evaluate for orthodontic needs (braces) during this age as well.
