With misinformation running rampant, it can be hard to tell fact from fiction when it comes to making the best decisions for your little one\u2019s pearly whites. Read below to debunk the five most common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bondsranchfamilydentistry.com\/childrens-dentistry.html\">children\u2019s dental <\/a>myths and boost the health of your favorite smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #1: Cavities in Baby Teeth Aren\u2019t a Big Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your baby\u2019s temporary teeth are destined to fall out on their own, making room for their permanent teeth, it\u2019s still important to keep them healthy. That\u2019s because unchecked decay and dental disease can actually spread to the permanent teeth that are lying in wait underneath the gumline to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #2: Fluoride Toothpaste Isn\u2019t Necessary Until My Child Gets Older<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children begin using fluoridated toothpaste by the time their first tooth emerges. As they get older, the amount of fluoridated toothpaste you use will gradually grow, from a small grain of rice-sized amount as an infant to a pea-sized amount at age three. Then, between six and eight years old, they\u2019ll graduate to a full adult-sized smear of toothpaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #3: My Child is Ready to Brush Their Own Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though your child may be able to talk and has great mobility, it still doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re ready to graduate to brushing and flossing their teeth on their own. Most dentists, as well as leading children\u2019s dental health organizations, recommend brushing your child\u2019s teeth until they hit double digits (10 years old). This is because before this time period, they likely won\u2019t be effective at brushing the back molars and more difficult to reach surfaces of their teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #4: It\u2019s Not Important for Babies to Visit the Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though your baby may only have one tooth, visiting the dentist every six months is still an important part of their dental care routine. At these appointments, their children\u2019s dentist in Fort Worth will check to make sure their smile is developing as it should be and teach them about good at-home oral hygiene habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #5: Pacifiers &amp; Thumb-Sucking are Bad for My Baby\u2019s Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While many parents believe that using pacifiers and thumb-sucking are bad news for their baby\u2019s teeth, this simply isn\u2019t true. These habits are coping mechanisms that they develop to help them feel safe and comforted, and they\u2019re completely natural! However, once your child starts getting older and most of their temporary teeth have grown in, that\u2019s when it starts to become an issue. Speak with their children\u2019s dentist to learn the best time to begin breaking non-nutritive habits safely and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Rhiannon Presley is the sole family dentist at Bonds Ranch Family Dentistry.
