We know that good dental habits start at home! At Providence Dental Practice, we encourage parents to help their children brush their teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste as soon as the first tooth comes in. It’s important to supervise their brushing until they can do it well on their own, usually around age 7 or 8. Our professional team also suggests adding flossing to their daily routine to keep those hard-to-reach areas clean. Encouraging a balanced diet that’s low in sugary snacks and drinks will further protect their teeth. With regular visits to Providence Dental Practice, we can help support your child’s oral health journey together!
We know that dental anxiety can be common among children, and we’re here to help! To ease your child’s nerves, try talking about dental visits in a positive light and using encouraging words. Role-playing the visit at home can also help them feel more familiar with what to expect. Allowing your child to bring along a favorite toy or blanket can provide comfort during their appointment. Our friendly team at Providence Dental Practice is trained to engage with kids and make them feel safe and comfortable. Open conversations about their feelings can go a long way in helping us tailor our approach to meet their needs.
