About 20 percent of children aged 5 to 11 years-old have at least one untreated decayed tooth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, the use of fluoride toothpaste can prevent about one third of tooth decay in primary (baby) teeth.
Parents are advised to watch children brush teeth, not to use fluoride toothpaste with children younger than two (unless advised otherwise by a dentist) and to consult a pediatrician, family doctor, nurse or dentist about putting fluoride varnish on children’s teeth, according to the CDC.
To prevent cavities and gum disease, good oral hygiene routines should be established as early as infancy and continued throughout life, according to the American Dental Hygienists’ Association website. Educating children on the importance of their home care, and teaching proper brushing and flossing, creates a routine of healthy behavior that kids can continue into adulthood.
