Additionally, it is likely the child is caries-free between 6 months to a year old. If this is the case, dental hygienists and dentists would have the opportunity to interact with the child in a warm, welcoming, nonthreatening environment, alleviating some of the fear and negativity often surrounding dental care. The dental hygienist or dentist could provide education to the parents or guardians about brushing and flossing the child’s teeth, the types and amount of toothpaste to use, the effects of sugar exposure, and other oral hygiene aids that are available. Many parents are unaware of the sugars
and acid in beverages, especially fruit juices. Consequently, their child may drink sodas and sugary drinks as substitutes for milk and water. Additionally, if children are sipping the drinks over a long period of time, the constant exposure can keep the pH
of the teeth’s biofilm in the demineralization range and place the child at risk for caries. Early educational efforts could address these issues.
