Tips On How To Care For Baby Teeth From Your Family Dentist in Keller, TX

Caring for your children’s teeth is one of the most important things you can do as a parent, which is why your family dentist in Keller TX, Dr. Darshan Patel, wants to be sure to provide you with some tips! 

-Use a toothbrush with soft bristles. Children’s gums are much more vulnerable to damage, which is why a softer bristled brush is needed.

-Use a small amount of toothpaste, and monitor your child closely while brushing! Younger children are more prone to swallowing toothpaste, and should only use a tiny amount or a child-friendly version.

-Make sure your child is brushing correctly! While it may be a victory to have your child brushing at all, set them up for success by teaching them the proper techniques early!

-Brush for 2 minutes!

-Encourage them with a sticker or a smile after they successfully brush their teeth.
