Commonly Asked Questions Of Dr. Cossich About Your Children's
Dental Care...
 |
"Dr. Cossich, when should my child first see a dentist?"
|
| |
"First visit by first birthday" sums it up.
Your child should visit a dentist when the first tooth comes in, usually
between six and twelve months of age. An early examination at Manhattan
Family Dentistry and preventive care will protect your child's smile now and
in the future.

"Dr. Cossich, should I worry about thumb or finger
sucking?"
|
| |
Thumb sucking is perfectly normal for
infants; most stop by the age of two. Prolonged (beyond age 5 or 6 years)
thumb sucking can create crowded, crooked teeth or bite problems. At
Today's Dental Cosmetic and Family Dentistry we will be glad to suggest ways to address a
prolonged thumb-sucking habit.

 |
"Dr. Cossich, when should I start cleaning my baby's
teeth?"
|
| |
This is a good habit to start early! The
teeth must be cleaned as they erupt. Use a damp washcloth or a toothbrush.
If your health care provider agrees, use a tiny dab of fluoride toothpaste.
Tooth brushing is definitely a parents job in the preschool years.
Children are usually able to brush their teeth well when they are 8 years
old. Be sure to check your child's teeth regularly for any chalky white or
brown spots which could be the beginning of tooth decay.
