FAQs
When will my baby start getting teeth?
Baby teeth begin to appear sometime between 6months and 1 year. The first two teeth to appear are usually the top and bottom two front teeth. My baby is a nearly a year old and still hasn't got any teeth. Don't worry; they will appear in their own good time. If your child still has no teeth at 15 - 18 months schedule a visit to your dentist so he can take a look and make sure everything is okay.
Why is my breath bad in the morning?
Because the mouth does not get as much oxygen during the night hours and because it is largely inactive often your breath odour will be worse when you wake up in the morning.
What is gingivitis?
Gingivitis is inflammation of the tissues of the gum. When plaque builds up excessively along the gum line the gums can become irritated and inflamed resulting in soreness.
My gums are sore and red; does that mean I have gingivitis?
If your gums have become tender or you are experiencing bleeding gums then you may have gingivitis. But over-vigorous brushing and flossing can also be the cause of these symptoms. If you have ruled these out as possible culprits then it is important to get to a dentist for a check-up as soon as possible. If treated early, more serious consequences such as loss of bone structure can be avoided. However if gingivitis is left to advance it may lead to periodontal disease.
What do I do if one of my child's teeth is accidently knock out?
Place the tooth in cool milk or salt water and get to the dentist immediately Do not clean the tooth or wash it. The dentist will want to inspect the tooth to make sure there is nothing left behind in the gum.
Should I be flossing my child's teeth?
YES. As soon as two teeth touch together you should begin with gentle flossing. Usually two of the back teeth will touch first. Usually you will do it for them but as they get older they will manage this nicely themselves. It is very important to take care of baby teeth because they hold the places for the adult teeth to come through. If a baby tooth is lost sometimes the permanent tooth can come in crooked.
