We believe that healthy habits begin early. Caring for your child’s teeth in Worcester, Massachusetts, is an important part of their overall well-being and development. Our dentist and team partner with parents to create strong foundations for lifelong oral health – starting with the very first tooth. From brushing tips to nutrition guidance, we are here to support you every step of the way.
Establishing Healthy Routines
Good oral hygiene begins before your child even has a full set of teeth. We offer education and preventive care tailored to each stage of your child’s growth. From infancy through the teen years, Dr. Harjeet Mundra helps families understand what to expect and how to care for developing smiles.
We recommend beginning dental visits by your child’s first birthday. These early visits allow us to track dental development, offer guidance for home care and make your child feel comfortable at the dentist.
Tips for Taking Care of Young Smiles
At Grace Family Dental, we help parents build healthy habits early. Some key recommendations for caring for your child’s teeth include:
- Gently clean your infant’s gums with a soft cloth before teeth erupt
- Begin brushing with a small, soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste as soon as the first tooth appears
- Supervise brushing until at least age 6 to ensure proper technique
- Encourage healthy snacks and limit sugary drinks
- Schedule regular dental checkups every six months
- Use dental sealants or fluoride treatments as recommended by our dentist
Teaching your child about brushing and flossing in a fun, positive way helps them develop confidence and consistency.
