Children's Dentistry Toronto FAQ:

Answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Children’s dentistry at our office!

What is essential to know about baby teeth?

At about the age of 6 months, the primary teeth, or baby teeth, begin to erupt or come out. As these baby teeth grow, your child will experience some soreness, drooling, fever and discomfort. It is, however, vital to ensure that the baby teeth grow in properly. Twenty baby teeth should have erupted by the age of 2.5 years. This is an excellent time for the first dental visit.

The role of primary teeth is to help a child with proper chewing. They are also fundamental in speech development. Primary teeth aid in the development of jawbones and face muscles. They also help preserve space for permanent teeth.

If teeth are lost prematurely as a result of decay, alignment issues may occur in the long run and so, maintaining good oral hygiene from a very young age diminishes the risk of growing up with crooked or misaligned teeth.

This is my child’s first visit to the dentist in Bloor West Village, Toronto. What should I tell him/her?

This is a crucial question that a lot of parents ask us. You could tell them that the dentist will count their teeth and see if they have any wiggly teeth. They may also clean and shine their teeth. Many animation videos are available on the internet which make this job easier for parents.

We have a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere at our office; you will find that your child will enjoy their time at our office. We strongly recommend maintaining a positive attitude towards a visit to the dentist. Making oral hygiene tasks like brushing teeth fun will make your child excited about their own oral hygiene routine, which will help them with oral health their entire life.

What is preventive oral care for children?

As your children’s dentist Toronto, our goal is to provide care for your child’s teeth to be well protected and healthy. We use the latest dental technology and treatment processes available.

To ensure that preventive care works, you must make regular appointments for your child to take care of dental checkups and cleanings. These periodic appointments, checkups, and care are the very foundations upon which you can maintain oral hygiene for your children, ensure that they have healthy teeth and gums, and as a result, help them achieve their healthiest smile smile and improved dental health.

What is children’s tooth decay?

When food, especially sugary food, gets trapped between a child’s teeth and, due to improper brushing and flossing, is not dislodged, that sets the stage for tooth decay to occur.

At this stage, the bacteria action begins on the food breaking it down, converting sugar into acid, which wears down tooth enamel. If dental plaque builds up, it can lead to cavities in the teeth and gum disease.

Children’s tooth decay is preventable, as we explain further in this article.

What is fluoride toothpaste?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral. It is also found in our bones and teeth. In addition, fluoride is found naturally in water, in soil, and plants, etc.

Fluoride’s use in dentistry is to strengthen tooth enamel, the outer layer of our teeth. The presence of fluoride in water and in toothpaste helps to prevent dental cavities and tooth decay.

Fluoride has the property to harden the enamel on baby teeth before they emerge. Fluoride additionally also helps the enamel on adult teeth.

Fluoride is often added to drinking water. If your drinking water is fluoridated, it could be considered adequate for adults and children with healthy teeth. In those instances where your local water is not fluoridated, then you should ask your dentist to recommend fluoride supplements.

What is a good routine for teeth brushing and flossing

Children have mouths that are different from the mouths of adults; as a consequence, toothbrushes and the volume of toothpaste used also need to be different.

For very young children, when their baby teeth are just beginning to grow, you can use a moist clean cotton cloth to clean the teeth.

As children grow, they will need toothbrushes for their teeth. Toothbrushes for children need to be kid-friendly, and they need to have soft bristles. The amount of toothpaste necessary for children is also tiny. Dentists recommend a pea-sized amount of toothpaste on a young child’s toothbrush.

At Bloor Smile Dental, we recommend that you teach your children to brush their own teeth from around the age of two to three years.

In addition, our dentists help demonstrate to young children how to brush their teeth properly.

Teeth Brushing For Kids – Steps you can take to get your child interested in brushing their teeth:

– Involve your child in selecting the purchase of a toothbrush that they like. If they choose a brush with their favourite color or cartoon character, that will engage them with the routine of brushing their teeth.

– Brush your own teeth along with your child. Making the brushing of teeth a family event will make brushing teeth a fun experience for your child.

– Select a child-friendly mouth wash

– Select a child-friendly toothpaste

– Develop a routine, and stick to a time of day for brushing teeth. This routine will help your child develop an excellent and fun dental care habit, and the outcome will be clean teeth and a healthy mouth!

For both mouth wash and toothpaste, ask us, your friendly neighourhood kids dental clinic for a recommendation!
