A Fresh Approach to Modern Dentistry - Located in Springville, Utah
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that a child first goes to a dentist by the age of one or within six months after the first tooth appears.
The first visit often lasts 30 to 45 minutes. Depending on your child’s age, the visit may include a full exam of the teeth, jaws, bite, gums, and oral tissues to check growth and development. If needed, your child may also have a gentle cleaning. This includes polishing teeth and removing any plaque, tartar, and stains which may already be forming. The dentist may show you and your child proper home cleaning techniques for young children, and advise you on the fluoride availability in your local area.

To keep your teeth healthy, you need to brush them regularly. But let us offer you a step-by-step guide to the best method of brushing your teeth:
1. Choose the Right Tools:
Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to avoid damaging your gums and tooth enamel.
Select a fluoride toothpaste, which helps prevent cavities and strengthen enamel.
2. Pre-Rinse (Optional):
You can rinse your mouth with water before brushing to remove loose debris.
3. Apply Toothpaste:
Squeeze a pea-sized amount of Toothpaste onto your toothbrush.
4. Brushing Technique:
Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gums.
5. Brush in Sections:
Divide your mouth into sections: upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right.
Brush each area for about 30 seconds to ensure you spend enough time on each part of your mouth.
6. Brushing Motion:
Use gentle circular motions or short back-and-forth strokes.
Focus on brushing both the outer and inner surfaces of your teeth and the chewing surfaces.
Pay extra attention to the gumline, where plaque tends to accumulate.
7. Brush Your Tongue:
Gently brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
8. Spit, Don’t Rinse:
After brushing, spit out the Toothpaste. Don’t rinse your mouth immediately to allow the fluoride to continue protecting your teeth.
