Parents Key To Child Dental Health From First Tooth
Parents and caregivers must supervise daily brushing and flossing from eruption of the first tooth through adolescence. Take the child to the dentist by age one, avoid sugary drinks, and limit juices to four to six ounces daily. Use plain water between meals and encourage healthy snacks, with brushing after breakfast and before bed.
