Dentist & child : A visit to the dentist can be a scary thing for children. You can reduce this possibility by choosing your dentist carefully and preparing your child for his or her first visit. Most importantly, don’t communicate your own fears to your child.

Brush & child’s teeth: It is important to start brushing and flossing your child’s teeth when they first come in. This keeps your child’s teeth and gums healthy and provides a good model for what he or she will do in the future.

Fluoride &  Child : Fluoride is a mineral that helps prevent tooth decay and cavities. Pediatric dentists recommend that you start to use a very small amount (a smear) of fluoride toothpaste on your baby’s toothbrush as soon as your baby’s teeth start to come in. But Too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child’s teeth.
