Preventing Cavities in Young Children’s Teeth


Proper oral hygiene helps remove bacteria and food particles that lead to the development of cavities. To help prevent cavities in infant children, use a wet gauze or clean washcloth to wipe the plaque from teeth and gums. Avoid putting your child to bed with a bottle filled with anything other than water (this can lead to “Baby Bottle Tooth Decay”).

We recommend that you schedule check-ups with Dr. Mitchell every six months once your child turns one year old. This will ensure that they have a healthy start to satisfactory check-ups through their entire childhood and beyond!


What’s More:


Dr. Mitchell may also recommend protective sealants or home fluoride treatments for your child. Sealants can be applied to your child’s molars to prevent decay on hard to clean surfaces.
