Dental Care:

• We recommend starting to brush your child’s teeth as soon as one erupts.
• We also recommend starting to see a dentist at first eruption.
• Older children should be brushing their teeth twice daily and seeing the dentist every 6 months.
• Ensure the toothpaste has fluoride in it to help protect against cavities.

We look forward to seeing your child grow and flourish every year! Remember, annual visits are a great time to ask any and everything about your growing child. We are here to help!
