feeding. When teeth appear, brush daily with a pea-sized amount of
fluoride toothpaste

Thumb sucking
– Not a concern untl about 4 years of age or when permanent
teeth appear; after this time, it could cause dental changes
White spots on teeth
– As soon as the first tooth appears (at about 6 months), begin
cleaning the child's teeth daily and schedule a dental appointment
Toddlers
Fear of the dentist

time each day to create a good habit

fresh vegetables, plain yogurt, and cheese
