Pediatric Dentistry Introduction
Report
Why a Pediatric Dentist? Do you love going to the dentist? Your children will! A Pediatric Dentist is trained specifically on how to help your child: love going to the dentist, and in preventing and repairing dental damage already done. At Idaho Pediatric Dentistry we use a gentle touch and a positive atmosphere to making dental visits fun.
Tooth Brushing
Report
How should my child brush? As you know, a child's hand dexterity and mouth are different than their parents. It is important to make sure that your child is using the right toothbrush for them. In both cases, adults and kids should use a soft, rounded bristle toothbrush, with gentle cleaning. What about my infant?
Thumb Sucking
Report
Oral habits such as thumb/finger sucking are habits that can occur early in life. The good news is that most kids give up this habit by age four. If your child continues beyond this age, don't get discouraged, it can still discontinue on its own. Of course there can be oral/dental consequences with continued sucking habits in the form of malformed or crooked teeth and palate but don't be dismayed, all these malformations can be corrected with time.The duration, frequency, and intensity seem to be the most important factors in determining the extent of malformation of the teeth and mouth bones.
Tooth Eruption
Report
When should my child's tooth begin to erupt? The average age of first tooth eruption in infants is around 6-8 months. The two lower front teeth are the most common teeth to erupt first. About every 6 months another set of four teeth usually erupt finishing by age 3 in most kids with 20 teeth. The most common tooth eruption sequence in kids is: the lower front teeth, followed by the upper front teeth, followed by the first molars, then the canines, and then the second molars.Why do we care about baby teeth?
