INFANTS DENTAL TIPS
Use a damp washcloth to wipe your infant's gums after each meal.
DO NOT put your infant or young child to bed with a bottle of milk, juice, or sugar water. Use only water for bedtime bottles.
Begin using a soft toothbrush instead of a washcloth to clean your child's teeth as soon as his first tooth shows (usually between 5-8 months of age).
Ask your pediatrician if your infant needs fluoride added to his diet

CHILDRENS DENTAL TIPS
Be presistent - have children brush their teeth.
Brush teeth with a fluoride toothpaste.
Provide healthy foods and limit sweet snacks and drinks.
