It’s been ages that tooth fairy has been busy taking baby tooth in exchange for keeping gifts under the pillow of your little ones. The increase in orthodontic problems among kids these days has made the tooth fairy answer few common worries of the parents.
- Dental X-rays are safe for kids. If your dentist insists on getting one for your kid, you can get it done. It gives the dentist a view that isn’t visible to the naked eye.
- Pacifiers are safe for your kid only until they are two year old. Till this age pacifiers doesn’t cause any dental problems. By 4 years of age pacifiers and thumb sucking should completely be stopped in the kid.
- Milk isn’t essential for healthy teeth. It is the calcium in the milk that is important. However, if your kid doesn’t drink milk or is allergic to it then there are plenty of other ways to get calcium. There are a lot of nuts, seeds and veggies which have calcium that can be given to kids.
- Fluoride is essential for strong teeth enamel. There is a little quantity of fluoride present in water which is important for your teeth. However, you can go to an orthodontic specialist in North Austin to check if you need it in more quantities. They might suggest fluoride toothpastes, supplements or treatments if necessary.
- Don’t pull out the first loose tooth of your kid yourself. Always let it come out naturally or take your kid to an orthodontist to get it wiggles out in the correct way.
