The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advises:
Brush with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day.
Floss children's teeth once a day until they are able to do it themselves – around age 7 or 8.
Visit your pediatric or general dentist regularly.
Get enough fluoride through drinking water, fluoride products and, when indicated, through fluoride supplements.
Have sealants applied to the chewing surfaces of permanent back teeth or molars soon after they come in.
Snack moderately – no more than twice a day.
