On the long list of things parents need to teach their kids in childhood is proper flossing, but plenty of adults don't know the best techniques themselves! We're here to help. 👍 Daily flossing should be a priority for anyone with two teeth that touch each other because brushing alone cannot remove the plaque and food debris in those spaces. The longer it remains and builds up, the more it contributes to gum disease, cavities, and worse. Parents should floss their child's teeth for them until they have the dexterity to do it themselves. Make it part of the daily routine. 🔄 Explain that flossing matters for keeping their smile healthy, and flossing is something big kids do like tying their shoes. Floss picks can also make the process easier instead of using string floss. Good flossing technique starts with pulling out about a foot and a half of floss and wrapping it loosely around the middle fingers, with an inch or two left in the middle to slip between the teeth. Don't just snap the floss down onto the gums, curve it around each tooth in a C-shape and gently work down. 🦷 Then rotate the floss along so that it's always clean floss being used for each new gap. Dirty floss won't clean teeth! #flossing #FlossingTechnique #CleanTeeth #dentist #dentalcare #avrildsouzadmd #cosmeticdentist #ortho #orthodontist #pediatricdentist #ny #nydentist #schenectady #schenectadydentist

We hear a lot of the same questions from patients and parents of patients, so let's wrap up the year by answering three of them. #1: My tooth doesn't hurt, so why do I need a filling? 🤔 Cavities aren't always painful. They form when tooth enamel is eroded away until a hole forms. As the hole gets deeper, it can reach the dentin and even the pulp chamber at the center of the tooth, but in the early stages, they usually don't hurt. While the best option is preventing a cavity from forming at all, it's much better to treat a cavity before it hurts than allow it to reach that point. By then, a filling alone might not be enough! #2: How important is it to keep baby teeth healthy? 🦷 Just because baby teeth are temporary, that doesn't mean they don't serve an important purpose. Kids need them to speak clearly, chew effectively, and master the lifelong brushing and flossing habits that will protect their adult teeth. They also hold the places for those adult teeth. #3: Should I be worried about the effect of pacifiers and thumbsucking on my child's teeth? 👍 Pacifier use and thumbsucking can indeed contribute to significant problems, but not when the child is very young. Babies and toddlers often find these habits very comforting, and they usually grow out of them on their own. If they're showing no signs of stopping by age three, parents should consider strategies for discouraging the habit, like clipping the pacifier. We can help find the right solution. #DentalFAQs #fillings #BabyTeeth #pacifiers #thumbsucking #dentist #dentalcare #avrildsouzadmd #cosmeticdentist #ortho #orthodontist #pediatricdentist #ny #nydentist #schenectady #schenectadydentist

Common questions parents ask: Why are my child's new front teeth so yellow? 🦷 We often get this question from parents wondering if there is something wrong with their kid's newly-erupted front teeth because they look more yellow than their baby teeth. It is actually totally normal for permanent teeth to sometimes looks darker than their baby counterpart. But why? The dentin composition of a permanent tooth is thicker/different than a baby tooth, which makes them looks slightly darker. Also, by having the cream-coloured tooth next to a milk-white baby tooth, the creamy white colour appears more yellow as well. With time, when all of the permanent teeth are erupted, the colour will appear more uniform and less yellow by comparison. Therefore, we DO NOT recommend bleaching any teeth until we have all the permanent teeth in the mouth. And, by then, the appearance is much nicer and bleaching will no longer be necessary. 😁 #ChildrensDentalWorldWinnipeg #ChildrensDentistry #PediatricDentistry
