Pediatric Dental Care in Saratoga Springs UT

by Christopher Young Young Family Dental Clinic Orem It is essential to begin good dental habits during childhood. Tooth decay can advance rapidly in small children, and we recommend that your child visit Young Family Dental Saratoga Springs for the first time at age two. Our gentle, friendly dentists will check for signs of tooth decay and any other dental problems; the sooner we identify cavities or other problems, the more effectively and painlessly they can be treated.







Establish a practice of brushing twice every day, starting at the time your child begins teething. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, and use either water or toothpaste that does not contain fluoride. (Fluoride can be used when your child is old enough to spit.) Your child may be resistant to daily brushing at first, but stick with it! Allow your child to only drink water after they have brushed their teeth, and encourage your child not to share cups, pacifiers, utensils, or toothbrushes with their siblings, which might lead to the spread of cavity-producing bacteria. To make tooth brushing less of a battle, our experienced dentist in saratoga springs and dental team suggest that you:

    Use a flavored toothpaste
    Let your child pick a fun, character-themed toothbrush
    Have everyone in your family brush their teeth at the same time
    Use a tooth brushing chart to establish a routine
    Have multiple toothbrushes so your child can pick which one to use each time
    Let your child brush your teeth
    Use child-friendly flossing aids
    Show your enthusiastic approval of your child’s sparkly, clean teeth
    Read fun books about tooth brushing with your child
    Let your child eat or drink something that will color his or her teeth, then help him or her brush them clean
