Your Child's Smile
Nothing is sweeter than your child's smile. This smile starts with healthy teeth.
- Help your child brush and floss teeth until 6 or 7 years old.
- Brush teeth twice a day, in the morning and before bedtime.
- Offer water between snacks and meals.
- Don't let your child go to bed with a bottle or sippy cup.
- Don't let your toddler walk around the house with a sippy cup.
- Wean your toddler from the bottle by 1 year of age.
- Have 2 to 3 planned snacks during the day. Snacking all day long is not good for your child's teeth and can cause cavities.
