    When do the baby teeth fall out?

    Children generally lose their front 8 baby teeth between 6 and 8 years of age. At this time the first permanent molars will also come through behind the baby teeth. Then between 10 and12 years of age the remaining baby teeth are lost and are replaced with adult teeth.

    If a baby tooth is knocked out DO NOT TRY TO PUT IT BACK IN. This is the case as you could accidentally damage the adult tooth that is developing below the gum. As soon as the accident occurs call your dentist and organize an appointment immediately.

    Unlike baby teeth, if a permanent tooth is knocked out it should be REPLACED IN THE SOCKET STRAIGHT AWAY. The longer the tooth is out of the mouth, the less likely the tooth will survive. As soon as the accident occurs call your Dentist and organize an appointment immediately. If you are unable to put the tooth back into the socket, place it into a glass of milk in the meantime.

    Fluoride is important as it makes the enamel more resistant to plaque. Dr. Cortés recommends that children start using a low fluoride based toothpaste between 2 and 6 years of age. Once they switch to fluoride toothpaste, we recommend using a very small amount (approximately half the size of a pea). This is the case as most children will swallow a small amount. It is also important to drink tap water as this has the optimum amount of fluoride (0.7ppm) to help prevent tooth decay in children.

    How will Holistic Dentistry benefit my child?

    Dr. Cortés understands how important your child’s health is, especially at an early age. Having a holistic approach to dentistry ensures that your child receives the best in dental care whilst not compromising your child’s overall health. Standard fillings contain copper, mercury and silver. These metals could upset your child’s body. Using alternative material, Dr. Cortés is able to achieve the same results without polluting your child’s body with harmful metals.
