Dental Home Companion Part 3 Preschool to early school years
Pediatric dentist Rocky L Napier outlines at home steps from first tooth eruption around age six to first permanent teeth around six years. Emphasizes parental supervision for brushing flossing and diet, six month dental visits starting with tooth eruption, water over juice, and limiting sugary drinks. Encourages plain water snacks, healthy foods, and optional fluoride rinse after age five or six when spit rinsing is reliable.
