Start having teeth out from 4-7 months. Use soft & wet washcloth or gauze to wipe down gum before teeth erupt. After they emerge, use baby toothbrush with tiny amount of non-fluoridated toothpaste twice a day just like you. It is recommended that the baby has her/his first dental visit at age 1. Some healthy kids have no teeth out until 15-18 months. Please consult with us if you have any concerns.

There are 20 baby teeth in total. Some have less or more genetically. Please brush toddler’s teeth twice a day. Initially use non-fluoridated toothpaste only until they learn how to hold water and spit it out of mouth. Starting 2 years old, Delight Dental Studio recommends 6 month checkup & cleaning.

Biggest concern is in times of accidents involving the front teeth either fracturing or falling out.

If the tooth is simply fractured, then call us immediately for an emergency care.

If the tooth fell out, please do not rinse or scrub tooth, but clean it with saliva gently & put it in a saline solution or milk or under the tongue (only if child is older than 8 years old who wouldn’t swallow the tooth) and go to a pediatric dentist office. Call us for a referral to a pediatric dental office if you don’t know one. The steps only apply to an adult tooth which is not broken at the root level.
