Happy National Children’s Dental Health Month!

February is National Children’s Dental Health month and the team at Crown Dental encourages you to celebrate! The month-long national health observance was started by the ADA and serves to promote the benefits of good oral health to children, their caregivers, and teachers.

In honor of Children’s Dental Health Month, let’s brush up on some children’s oral health tips–pun intended!

All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front…

Do you remember being a little kid, losing your teeth for the first time? Setting up those DIY contraptions that supposedly would help your teeth come out faster.

If you remember the process of losing teeth and all the ways we went about trying to force them out when they didn’t willingly fall; then you likely remember the process of patiently waiting for them to grow back in.

The Tooth Fairy is Coming to Town!

Did you know that August 22, 2021 marks National Tooth Fairy Day? In honor of this fun observance, we thought it was only fitting to talk about our patients who she visits. The children who come to Crown Dental often begin their oral health journey even before their first tooth comes in.

According to The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), children should see the dentist by the time they turn 1 year old or after their first tooth erupts, which often occurs around six months.

Good oral hygiene habits, supported by regularly scheduled cleanings, will help keep the Tooth Fairy’s visits in check, ensuring your child’s smile stays strong and healthy.

Should Parents Worry About Pacifiers?

Typical of most parenting-related topics, the use of baby pacifiers by infants and toddlers present both pros and cons. There are those parents who are for them and those who absolutely refuse for fear of their child developing “pacifier teeth.”

At Crown Dental, everyone on our staff is a parent and has weighed the pros and cons of pacifier use at one time or another. We’re here to provide some guidance and reassurance about pacifier use, parsing out reality from rumor and, hopefully, leaving you with some peace of mind. Couldn’t all parents use a dose of that?
