Good to know
Your questions, answered.
Do milk teeth matter if they fall out anyway?
Yes. They help children chew and speak, and hold space for the adult teeth. Decay in milk teeth can be painful and affect the teeth growing beneath.
How can I prepare my child?
Keep it simple and positive. Avoid words like hurt or pain, and choose a time of day when they are usually rested.
When should my child start brushing?
From the first tooth. Use a smear of fluoride toothpaste until age three and a pea-sized amount after that. Help them brush until about age seven.
