Preventing Tooth Decay in Children
Children’s baby teeth are more susceptible to cavities which can become large very quickly due to the size of baby teeth and their structure. This is why it is very important to bring your child in for regular dental visits so the dental professionals can address any problematic area before they get worse.
At a routine dental checkup, we’ll check their teeth and gums to make sure they’re in good condition. Additionally, your kid’s dentist will be able to notice early indications of health issues and give instructions on how to brush and floss effectively.
- After each feeding, gently wipe an infant’s gums with a clean, damp towel.
- Only provide your infant with water in a bottle or sippy cup during naptime
- If your infant nods off while you’re feeding him or her, brush his or her teeth first.
- Lifting your infant’s lip, check your child’s teeth for any alterations in colour, lines, or spots.
- Before giving your children fluoride toothpaste between the ages of zero and three, consult your dentist.

Newborns & Infants Dentistry in Erin Mills
A child’s primary teeth start to erupt between the ages of 6 and 9 months. These teeth support your child’s ability to eat, speak, and help the adult teeth erupt properly. Infants can have cavities just like everyone else, so it’s crucial to keep these tiny teeth clean. Make sure to brush your baby’s mouth and teeth after feeding him or her using a small toothbrush, a piece of gauze, or a moist face cloth.
The Canadian Dental Association recommends the initial appointment for your child be within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth or by one year of age. Bringing your child in to see the dentist before there is ever any problem with his or her teeth helps set a positive environment for your child at the dental clinic.
Toddlers & Preschoolers Dentistry in Erin Mills
This is an excellent time to teach your child healthy oral hygiene practices that will help safeguard their primary teeth. Help your young children use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to brush their teeth twice daily. Make sure your youngster does not swallow the toothpaste and spits it out. Limiting sugary foods and drinks and brushing your child’s teeth after meals can also help avoid cavities.
Change your child’s toothbrush every one to three months or shortly after an illness, and start flossing when his or her teeth are in contact. To lead by example, let your child watch you brush your teeth.

Teens Dentistry in Erin Mills
The teenage years are a challenging time for many parents. With increased independence and less supervision, it can be hard to keep up on oral hygiene practices when you’re busy taking care of your child’s other needs — but it’s essential that we teach them proper habits!
At Onyx Dental our team will provide tips & advice during every visit so families can help their teens and younger children build habits that will make their teeth last a lifetime. The greatest method for teens to maintain healthy teeth and gums is to continue excellent oral hygiene.

- Brush their teeth twice daily
- Floss once per day between teeth and below the gumline
- Cut back on sugary food consumption
- Reduce snacking and consume a nutritious, balanced diet
- When playing sports, use a mouthguard to protect their teeth
