Q. How do I know if I am buying the right toothbrush for my children?

For your kids, buy a toothbrush that has soft bristles and a small head. If you buy a toothbrush with soft bristles, this won’t damage your kid’s gums. As our Fairfield dentist say, the best toothbrush is the one that you actually use. Once you buy a toothbrush for your children, teach them to use it at least 2 times a day.

Q. Why does my young nephew’s teeth have a different color?

Discoloration in children’s teeth is common especially if they are just starting to get permanent teeth. As his teeth emerge, the remaining membrane that surrounds the teeth remains on the enamel.

No need for teeth whitening. Constant brushing and chewing will do. If not, bring him for dental cleaning.
