First 6 Months of Life
During the critical first six months of life, establishing a foundation for good oral health is essential. At Elite Dental of Staten Island, we are committed to educating parents on proper oral hygiene practices tailored specifically for infants.
-
Teething Guidance: We provide valuable insights into managing teething discomfort and promoting healthy oral development.
-
Cleaning Techniques: Our team offers guidance on effective cleaning methods for your baby's gums and emerging teeth using soft, damp cloths or infant-specific toothbrushes.
-
Preventive Care Strategies: We discuss strategies to prevent early childhood cavities, such as limiting sugary foods and beverages and promoting healthy feeding habits.
-
Addressing Concerns: We provide supportive guidance on common concerns like pacifier use and thumb sucking to minimize potential dental issues in the future.
By empowering parents with knowledge and resources, we aim to instil proper oral hygiene practices from the very beginning of your child's life. Our goal is to set the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles and positive dental experiences.
