Children Dental care, proper dental care for kids.  My daughter is just cutting her teeth and I am not 100% sure on the proper dental care.  I been wiping her mouth out after feeding but should I be brushing her teeth now too? How often and with what.  I heard you do not use toothpaste until they are around four to five so what do you use to brush kids teeth with?  Advise please.

My daughter is seven and got into an accident were she lost four of her top front teeth.  They are just her baby teeth but I do not like that she has to deal with such a big gap.  Also she is talking funny since she lost her teeth.

Could she get a dental bridge until her adult teeth come in?  Or would that be consider as cosmetic dental services since they are only her baby teeth?  I know my dental insurance plan does not cover for cosmetic.  How would I know for sure?

This may seem straight forward but you can avoid your children having dental decay by making sure they have the right brushing and flossing habits.  The first step to dental care and good oral health comes from home.

Make sure your children are brushing and flossing correctly.  That means brushing for at least two minutes two times a day.  I suggest that if they have a full breakfast, lunch and dinner they should brush after every major meal.   Your child should also learn how to floss.  Flossing need s to be done once a day.

Now I am not one to say do not give sweets to kids because the fact is tooth decay can happen with any food item if good brushing habits are not in place.  However it is a good idea try and avoid food that can be harmful to tooth enamel.. Food like sour candy, soda, even too many fruits with acids like oranges or orange juice can be harmful. Be mindful of these types of food as they can over time wear down tooth enamel that  helps protect the tooth from decay.

And do not forget the importance of seeing your family dentist at least twice a year.  Prevention is the key to keeping your dental cost low.

I am looking for good dental insurance for my wife and two boys.   We currently have dental though my job but it is just a little basic plan.  I am wanting something more since my sons are now five and six.

I want to make sure that if they need more then cleanings I have a good enough dental plan that will work.  It would also be nice for my wife and I though we take good care of our teeth I guess anything can happen.  What do you suggest?
