Teeth R Us Children’s Dentistry & Tongue Tie Center

One of the most effective ways to get kids to brush regularly is to establish a regular bedtime routine. Having a pattern means that as much as possible, doing the same thing every night. That might be something simple as taking a bath, brushing their teeth, and reading a book. Kids (and adults!) thrive when they know what to expect. Establishing regular habits when children are young is the best way to prepare them for a lifetime of oral health!

🎭 Who said brushing can't be fun?

Turn it into a game with songs and stories, and teach the correct techniques early. Regular check-ups are part of the adventure.

Only half of U.S. school-age children get enough sleep. If your child has difficulty winding down, try limiting screen time (both tv and devices) before bed. Children also thrive when there is an established and consistent bedtime routine - doing the exact same steps every night. And of course, don’t forget to include brushing and flossing as part of that routine!

👧🏽 Are you concerned about whether a frenectomy is necessary for your child?

We recommend intervention only for moderate to severe tongue-ties that affect feeding significantly.

For milder cases, observation might be the key.

Tooth grinding is also called bruxism and usually occurs at night. It is often a sign of anxiety, stress or can indicate possible jaw and orthodontic issues. If you hear your child grinding their teeth at night or notice signs of wear, let us know immediately. Many children outgrow the habit, but we can discuss options at your next appointment!

💕 Looking for ways to ease your child's nerves at the dentist?

Simple actions like deep breathing or counting softly together can make a big difference. 😮‍💨

Stay calm and collected, and your child will feel secure. 🌟

Thumb sucking, especially past the age of four, can cause long-term damage to the development of the mouth and proper tooth alignment (not to mention that it also introduces bacteria and viruses from not-so-clean hands.) We suggest encouraging your children to stop by using positive reinforcement. For example, you might consider using a star chart and place a star when you “catch” your child without her thumb in her mouth! Offer a small reward for a specific number of stars gained in a week. Using positive reinforcement and praise will keep your child aware of thumb-sucking and motivate them to stop.

Biting can be a difficult behavior for parents to manage. But it’s not always simply your toddler “acting out”. Teething might be a big factor. Children acquire 20 teeth during their first couple of years. That results in a lot of teething behavior. Children also tend to bite to express, when tired, hungry, or dealing with change. Pay close attention to the sources of possible stress such as potty-training, moving, or the arrival of a new sibling. We recommend using positive distraction techniques to redirect your child towards another activity. It also helps to have items on hand like snacks or teething rings cooled in the fridge to soothe their pain.

One of the easiest and most effective ways kids (and adults) can reduce cavities is simply by replacing sugared drinks with water. Easy access to juice and soda causes many of the early cavities we see. Even when diluted, juice can provide the sugars that cavity-causing bacteria need to thrive. Drink more water! 😊
