Pediatric Dental Education & Resources
Oral health is an essential part of your child’s overall well-being. At Total Pediatric Care, we emphasize early dental care and prevention starting in infancy. Below are helpful guidelines and resources for families looking to promote healthy dental habits and find trusted dental care in Broward County.
Why Dental Health Matters for Kids
- Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease in children.
- Healthy teeth help with eating, speaking, and learning.
- Establishing habits early sets the stage for a lifetime of oral health.
Tips for Parents
- Start brushing as soon as your baby’s first tooth appears—twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Take your child to the dentist by their first birthday.
- Limit sugary drinks and snacks—encourage water and healthy foods.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush appropriate for your child’s age.
- Encourage regular dental visits every 6 months.
