Preventing Tooth Decay from the Start
Preventing tooth decay starts with removing the bottle or breast if your child tends to fall asleep during feedings. Dr. Malivuk suggest that if your baby falls asleep while nursing, take your baby off the breast. If you bottle feed, try holding your child; this may make it easier to take away the bottle if your child falls asleep. Many parents in the Colorado Springs area have found alternate ways to comfort their children at bedtime. Substitute a favorite toy or blanket for the bottle or to try offering a pacifier or a bottle filled with plain water. Besides eliminating prolonged exposure to sugary foods and liquids, make sure you are brushing your child’s teeth with a soft toothbrush every day. Dr. Malivuk can help teach you proper techniques to clean your child’s teeth. Healthy teeth are important for chewing properly, speaking well and smiling beautifully! Preventing dental problems needs to start early to give your child a healthy jump start.

Don't Forget to Floss! Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria can hid between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line. Visit Our Office Regularly! Take good care of your smile. Remember to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams. Mouthwash Is Important, Too! Brushing and flossing may not be enough. The ADA now recommends using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis. |
