Healthy Eating & Oral Care for Babies/Toddlers

Your baby's teeth are precious and require special attention. It is important to take care of their teeth in order to protect them from problems, such as decay. Dr. Anna Lee recommends following these four steps in order to keep your child’s smile healthy.  Early healthy habits can allow your child to have healthy habits for a lifetime. 

•       Do not allow babies/toddlers go to sleep with a bottle of milk, soft drink or fruit juice.  Give them a dummy or a bottle of water.

•       Gently wipe down the baby’s gums or teeth with a clean, moistened cloth after each feeding and before putting them to bed.

•       Do not give the babies/toddlers frequent snacks.

•       Clean the baby’s teeth and gums morning and night.
