A toothbrush will remove plaque bacteria that can lead to decay. Any soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head, preferably one designed specifically for infants, should be used at least once a day at bedtime. There is very little risk in taking dental x-rays. Our pediatric dentists are especially careful to limit the amount of radiation to which children are exposed.
Lead aprons and digital sensors are used to ensure safety and minimize the amount of radiation. A check-up every six months is recommended in order prevent cavities and other dental problems. However, your pediatric dentist can tell you when and how often your child should visit based on their personal oral health.
