Cavities in kids

To protect children’s dental health, experts recommend five simple steps that extend beyond just brushing and flossing.
The American Dental Association recommends:
Health Tips
* Never sharing utensils with children, or putting a child’s pacifier in your mouth to clean it. Both practices can transmit germs.
* Making sure your child eats a nutritious diet and drinks water that contains fluoride.
* Scheduling your child’s first dental visit no later than the age of 1.
* Brushing your young child’s teeth at least twice a day for two minutes at a time with a fluoride toothpaste.
* Talking to a dentist about applying sealants to protect your child’s teeth.
