Preventative care
in coral springs

Preventative care is key at Children’s Dentistry of Coral Springs. We aim to prevent dental problems before they start, ensuring children have healthy teeth for life.

Daily Brushing & Flossing Prevention starts at home with you and your child. Brush and floss daily to prevent decay and gum disease. Use age-appropriate techniques and products. 

Here’s a quick guide:

• Infants: Wipe gums with a soft cloth and use a small smear of toothpaste on an infant toothbrush.

• Toddlers: Brush twice daily with a small, soft-bristled brush and a smear of toothpaste.

• Older Children & Teens: Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste and brush twice daily.

Floss daily once teeth start touching. Demonstrate proper technique and use floss threaders if needed.
