October is Dental Hygiene Month! Start brushing you baby’s teeth gently with a toothbrush and water as soon as the first tooth appears. Once your baby turns 2, you can start using a very small amount of toothpaste – about the size of a grain of rice.
Teaching your children to properly brush their teeth can help prevent cavities, inflammation, and gum disease. WIC can help you receive a referral to the dentist. Contact our WIC staff at 330-343-5555, ext. 154 for more information. http://www.signupwic.com/ #HealthyStartsHere
