Tips for Flossing Your Teeth

Floss teeth at least once a day. Flossing gets rid of food and plaque between the teeth, where your toothbrush cannot reach. If plaque stays between teeth, it can harden into tartar, which must be removed by a dentist or hygienist. To floss:

  • Remove about an 18-inch strip of floss from the dispenser.
  • Wind the floss around the middle fingers of each hand, leaving a 1-inch section open for flossing. Floss the top teeth first, then the bottom.
  • Place the floss in your mouth and use your index fingers to push the floss between the teeth. Be careful not to push too hard and injure the gums.
  • Move the floss up and down against the tooth and up and around the gum line. The floss should form a C-shape around the tooth as you floss.
  • Floss between each tooth as well as behind the back teeth.
  • Use a clean section of floss as needed and take up used floss by winding it around the fingers.

Tips for Rinsing Your Mouth

Mouthwashes do more than just freshen your breath. Rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash at least once a day to kill bacteria that cause plaque and early gum disease. A fluoride rinse can help prevent teeth decay and cavities. Some rinses can do both.

  • It doesn't matter if you rinse before or after you brush.
  • Swish the mouthwash in your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds.

Knowing the Signs of a Teething Baby

  • Irritability or fussiness
  • Drooling (which can cause a facial rash)
  • Swollen, sensitive gums
  • Gnawing or chewing behavior
  • Refusing to eat
  • Trouble sleeping

Baby teeth development doesn't take long. Before you know it, you'll be navigating your way through the world of teething, brushing baby teeth, losing baby teeth and eventually welcoming in a mouth full of permanent pearly whites. Baby teeth begins to form before the baby is born. Primary teeth are almost completely formed at birth but remain buried under the gums. These teething rings as shown below will come in handy between the ages of 6 months to 27 months old.

At- home fluoride includes toothpaste/dentifrice, gels, and rinses available as over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription products. Patients with recession, exposed roots, fixed orthodontics, and xerostomia among other conditions may benefit from use of these products. Patients should avoid rinsing, eating, or drinking for 30 minutes following their application. By googling kid’s dentist near me or in West Palm Beach pediatric dentist you can find out more information about prescription fluoride at-home use.

Prescription rinses containing approximately 900 ppm sodium fluoride can be used in children ages 6 and older. This product is often used in school-based fluoride rinse programs. Children rinse once weekly at school under the supervision of a school nurse or Dental Hygienist.

If in need of a pediatric dentist in the area just give us a call at 561-333-4568 to set up an appointment with us.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Many communities adjust the fluoride concentration in the water supply to a level known to reduce tooth decay and promote good oral health (often called the optimal level). This practice is known as community water fluoridation and reaches all people who drink that water. If you want to learn more about fluoride see us at a friendly place for kids near me.

In the United States, the current recommendations are for local authorities to adjust the local water supply to a level of 0.7 milligrams per liter. Fluoride additives are used to bring the level to the optimum level proven to help prevent caries while minimizing the risk of fluorosis. Dental fluorosis is defined as mottling of teeth caused by excessive intake of fluoride compounds.

Systematic fluoride can be delivered through drops, tablets, and community public water supplies. Dental providers must take into consideration the patient’s risk level of developing caries, dental status, compliance, and patient preference when using fluoride treatments in office and when making recommendations for home use. if you would like to join our ToothTown Family and brighten your child's smile, you can give us a call at (561)333-4568 or visit our website at www.mytoothtown.com to schedule your appointment.

Children who get cavities and no dentist visit before school could cause major problems for your child starting their academic school year. When a child has a cavity or even a toothache it causes them to have lack of sleep because of the tooth pain also not being able to focus in school because the lack of rest and also could start an issue with their social life with other kids. As a parent you should keep up with your child dentist visits especially starting a new school year. These are couple guidelines that will help you get prepared:

  • Regular dental examinations to diagnose and treat or prevent dental problems. Parents and teachers may not realize there's a dental problem, so regular checkups are important. Your dentist may suggest fluoride treatments or sealants to prevent decay and can diagnose and treat dental problems to save your child pain and lost school time.
  • Regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing. Head for the dental care aisle when you're out shopping for notebooks, binders and pencils. If parents buy several toothbrushes they could have their child change to a new one every three months or so, or after an illness. If it's hard to remember when to change a brush, you could try to change it every time report cards come out. Ask your dentist for a recommendation on how often to change toothbrushes.
  • Eating healthy lunches and snacks. Include portable healthy lunch items and snacks in your child's sack lunch, including grains, milk, cheese, raw vegetables, yogurt or fruit. If your child eats in the school cafeteria, review healthy, balanced food choices with him before the first day of school. Cut back on sugary foods and soft drinks.
  • Wearing a properly fitted mouth guard while participating in organized sports, PE classes or playground activities.
