What happens if a baby tooth doesn't fall out?
If may get lodged in the gum and create an underbite in the permanent dentition, I would suggest your pediatric dentist to evaluate it and possibly extracted if it hasn’t fallen out by then READ MORE
Root canal on a baby tooth?
Dentist called baby root canal’s to pulpotomies which are the same concept but not the same procedure. The “baby root canal” takes coronal portion of the pulp (Which is the heart of the tooth) and replace it with a biocompatible material until the tooth falls off. The reason is because either the cavity of your child’s tooth has gotten too deep and even if he’s not feeling any pain, when cleaning up the cavity it can get too close to the pulp and even causes pain and even infection. We should never pull out a tooth unless it is because of an infection or failure to fall off on its own, the are vital to guide the permanent teeth into the right place, preserve space for these and are the foundation for healthy permanent dentition.

Can I use dental floss for my 4 year old?
That’d be amazing! Flossing does not have an age and should be started as soon as you see two teeth in contact with one another. Teach them early and they will never forget when they’re adults! READ MORE
Is it important for children to floss their teeth daily?
It is a must, is as important as brushing and I’d dare to say flossing is even more, create a routine, have her do a floss challenge and do it for a month uninterrupted and by the end of it, give her a price and dare her to continue, you’re not only creating a good healthy habit but promoting a sense of accomplishment in her girl’s psyche!

Do kids with lactose intolerance have weak teeth?
Not really, baby teeth are formed in utero along with some permanent teeth, some others are formed either when their newborns and toddlers, while they’re forming they’re getting all these vitamins, ions and minerals from mom for their formation, what may happen is that when babies suffer ear, respiratory or other type of infection, antibiotics are given when some of these teeth are being formed and may disturb the enamel formation. When these teeth erupt you see them with whitish, yellowish or brownish discoloration which are known as enamel hypoplasia Or enamel hupocalcification which means that the enamel is far weaker than the regular one. Good oral hygiene habits and good healthy diet can prevent decay and further enamel destruction READ MORE
What are the chances that the spaces in my daughter's teeth will recur when her permanent teeth grow in?
Having spaces in baby dentition is actually a good sign, depending on the size of those is what needs to be assessed by your pediatric dentist. Front Permanent teeth are usually and majority of cases bigger in the permanent dentition, so if she has room then it’s a big plus. READ MORE
My daughter has all of her baby teeth in. What should I bring her to dentist?
First dental visits according to the American Pediatrics Association and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry should be done within the first year of age. But it’s never late to bring her, my recommendation is to take her to a pediatric dentist READ MORE
My child accidentally ate toothpaste. What should I do?
Fluoride toxicity is very rare and it’s very rare that it may happen while brushing. No need to be concerned. Excess of fluoride can cause a condition called fluorosis and it can disrupt enamel formation, but it only does it when amount of toothpaste exceeds the recommended amount. It is important to visit your pediatric dentist so he/she can show you the right amount and prevent any adverse effects. Thanks and have a good day! Carolina B. Sanchez. DDS, FAAPD READ MORE
