Parent Connection: Your Child’s Dental Health The first time your baby smiled at you was probably one of the most beautiful sights you ever saw. Your child needs you to help him keep that gorgeous smile. The American Dental Association offers many helpful suggestions for keeping your child’s teeth and gums healthy from the start: •
• • • • • • •
Gently wipe your baby’s gums with a damp cloth or gauze pad after each feeding. Begin brushing your child’s teeth two times a day as soon as the first tooth comes through. When your child has two teeth that touch, you should begin flossing their teeth daily. Caregivers should provide help until their child is at least 8-years old. Make sure your baby’s pacifier is always clean and never dip it in any sweet liquid or sugar. Do not clean your baby’s pacifier by putting it in your own mouth and do not share spoons or cups with your child. The bacteria from your own mouth will be transferred to your baby’s and will start to grow there. Try to wean your child from bottles between 12-18 months. Do not let your child fall asleep with a bottle or sippy cup. Limit juice and sugary foods to once or twice per day. It’s not how much sugar your child eats, but how often that matters. Keep your child away from tobacco and smoke. Second-hand smoke has been linked to cavities. Make a plan with your dentist for your child’s first dental exam.

Playgroups
Visit us at Playgroups this month for more information about dental health and for the opportunity to socialize and discuss this topic with other parents and one of our Certified Parent Educators.
Playgroups are a chance for parents with young children (infants - age 5) to get together with other parents and young children and have some fun! Each month Berrien RESA’s highly qualified staff choose a children’s book as the theme for Playgroup activities. At the beginning of the group, the story is read during circle time. Then parents can play together with their children through a variety of activities. At the end of the group, every family gets a copy of the book to take home and enjoy over and over again. Each month, information is also provided on a popular parenting or child development topic. For more information about Playgroups or other early education services, please visit www.berrienresa.org!
