Tips for Stopping Tooth Decay in Infants and Toddlers
Infants often show signs of tooth exposure around 6 months of age. When this occurs, the newly exposed teeth are susceptible to all the forms of tooth decay as any normal teeth are. To protect the teeth, we must then care for them as we would any other teeth. Additionally, we can monitor what items enter an infant’s mouth that could be potentially dangerous. Here are some tips for stopping tooth decay in infants and toddlers: – Do not leave a bottle in the baby’s mouth during nap time. – Avoid contaminating anything the baby uses for his/her mouth. Do not share food utensils or pacifiers. – Do not dip the child’s pacifier in sweet substances such as honey or sugar. – If the baby has any teeth that have broken through the gumline, use toothpaste with the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Slowly brush their teeth with a child-sized toothbrush and an amount of toothpaste roughly the size of a grain of rice. – Be careful what you put into drinking bottles for babies. Focus on using only formula, milk, or breast milk in the bottles. Do not use liquids such as sugar water, juice, soft drinks, or energy drinks. Baby bottle tooth decay is preventable if you take the necessary steps to protect your little ones.

Fixing Discolored Teeth
So many people have discolored teeth, yet so few know that getting those teeth to shine white and bright again is a very simple, easy procedure. It’s a procedure we’re proud to offer to our patients here at [practice_name] in [state], and one we encourage you to consider if you’re in need of fixing some discolored teeth. Let’s look at what Dr. [doctor_name] can do for you. Why use professional whitening? Taking time from your busy schedule to come into our office for a whitening can seem a bit redundant with all the over-the-counter whitening solutions you can buy straight from the grocery store. However, there are some big advantages to using professional whitening services. Professional whitening is far more effective than over-the-counter solutions. Dr. [doctor_name] has access to whitening products far more powerful than anything you can buy at the store, which means your teeth will become whiter much quicker. It’s also less of a hassle to have someone else whiten your teeth. Filling the trays at home and trying not to get the whitening gel on your gums isn’t always the easiest thing to do. During professional whitening, however, you don’t have to worry about that as our professional team will ensure your whitening experience is easy and pain-free. If you’re ready for those discolored teeth to go from gray to great, then call us today at [phone] and get started on your teeth whitening journey!
