　　Taking your precious one for regular dental checkups can effectively protect your child from cavities and other oral problems.

Preventing Tooth Decay
　　Plaque is a sticky film that constantly forms on all areas of your teeth. When sugar and starch from food or drink combine with plaque, an acid is produced. Repeated acid attacks can break down the tooth enamel and eventually result in decay.

A Clean Smile For Your kids
　　Brushing and flossing twice a day are necessary to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Oral care should begin soon after a baby’s birth; gums should be cleaned after each feeding. In fact, you can begin brushing your child’s teeth as soon as they appear. Children should be able to brush unassisted by the age of seven. Select a child-size toothbrush with soft bristles, which should be replaced every three to four months. Your dentist or hygienist can demonstrate the correct brushing technique to ensure that your child is doing it properly.

Decay-Fighting Fluoride
　　Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by slowing the breakdown of enamel and speeding up the natural re-mineralization process. Different strengths of fluoride should be used, two to four times per year, according to the age of child.

Sealant
　　A sealant is a plastic material that the dentist paints on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth – premolars and molars. It forms a barrier that protects teeth from plaque and acid attack. During your regular dental visits, your dentist will check the condition of the sealant and re-apply when necessary.

Dental Visits
　　Starting with the child’s first birthday, regular dental check-ups and preventive dental care, such as cleaning and fluoride treatment, provide your child with “smile” insurance. When necessary, X-rays are taken to see how the teeth are developing and to reveal any hidden decay.
