Raw vegetables like celery and carrots help scrub teeth and freshen breath as you eat them. Then the extra vitamins and nutrients are just a bonus! #ToothLove #healthyfood #bayviewpdg #manhattanbeach #pediatricdentist

Sports drinks may not be the best choice for active kids. Instead, simply choose water! #toothlove #bayviewpdg

There are tooth-friendly foods, and then there are dental super foods that clean your teeth as you eat them. High-fiber foods like apples and carrots clean teeth by scrubbing away plaque as they are being chewed! #ManhattanBeach #ToothLove Schedule an appointment on our website!

Teenagers and younger children are at risk for gum disease or its milder form, gingivitis. Gum disease is a condition caused by bacteria that builds up on teeth and form hardened plaque. If you think your child has gum disease, schedule an appointment with us today! #ContactUs

Generally, the younger the child was when the teeth came in, the earlier they fall out. If your child begins to lose teeth before 4, you may want to schedule a visit to make sure there's no underlying problem. #bayviewpdg #toothfairy #babyteeth #pediatricdentists #SouthbayMoms

School is back in full gear, make sure you schedule your fall checkup! Did you know that cavities are the #1 chronic childhood illness? Tooth decay is entirely preventable. Prevent cavities and missed class time by getting a checkup early. #bayviewpdg #backtoschool

There are many different types & variations of toothbrushes. We recommend a soft bristled brush with a small head to make it easier to reach those teeth way in the back. Whichever one you pick, just make sure you're using it for 2 minutes twice a day! #2min2x #PediatricDentists

Limit your sticky sweet & sour snacks. The citrus and chemicals used in sour candies is rough on teeth - softening enamel & making them perfect targets for bacteria.These treats are sticky, which means they can hang around for a long time, giving that bacteria plenty to feed on.

If you're having trouble getting your child to brush on a consistent basis, one of the best ways to show #toothlove is to brush your teeth together. Not only will you be leading by example, but you'll also pay more attention to your own oral health - as little eyes are watching!

[BayviewPediatricDG @BayviewPDG]

When you're not feeling well, the last thing you want to do sometimes is brush. But liquid cough medicines usually coat your teeth and use sweeteners to make them taste better. Don't forget - even when you're sick - to brush for 2 minutes, 2 times every day! #dentalhealth

This is a shocking statistic. Replacing carbonated beverages with water is your best choice - fruit juices and sports drinks often contain as much (or more!) sugar as soda. Drink water! Your teeth will thank you! #teeth #dentalhealth #dentaleducation #BayviewPDG

It's true! Be a hero and fight off cavity causing bacteria! #BayviewPDG #BayviewPediatricDentalGroup #ManhattanBeach #SouthBayDentists #ManhattanBeachDentists #ManhattanBeachPediatricDentists #SuperHero

Fluoride is the superhero of cavity fighting, and health experts agree. That is why the ADA has long promoted brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Visit https://t.co/789B2YIbMq for more information: https://t.co/Z2h0jJ6F0i

Brushing isn't enough to prevent tooth decay. Flossing once a day helps reach hard to clean areas between teeth and just beneath the gum line. Are you showing your #toothlove ? Ask us for tips and techniques for flossing your child’s teeth! #pediatricdentistry #ManhattanBeach
