 Question: When should I start cleaning my baby's teeth?
Answer: Wiping babies teeth after they eat or drink helps to prevent
decay. As children mature, they should be encouraged to brush their teeth twice a day and helped to floss. Using a toothpaste containing fluoride is also helpful. Older children may use a fluoride rinse,
when six year olds get their first molars.
Nutrition is also an important factor in the prevention of tooth decay. We suggest to moms and dads that their kids be given healthy snacks - limiting their intake of candy and soda.
Tooth Prints
 Like fingerprints, dental imprints are unique to every person, so bite impressions can serve as an accurate method of
identification.
What are Tooth prints?
Tooth prints are a patented, arch shaped thermoplastic wafer. When your child bites into the softened wafer, it records individual tooth characteristics, tooth position within the arch and the upper to lower jaw relationship-all important information for identification. You’ll then write your Childs name on the zippered plastic bag provided and keep it at home in a safe place.
Making tooth prints bite impression takes only a few minutes. It’s comfortable for your child and will give you peace of mind.
