D
Limit snacks to three or four per day. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks and sticky candy. Teach parents that the infant should not be put to bed with a bottle; this causes tooth decay as well as ear infection. Children should have their first dental examination at 1 year or sooner if needed. Then children need to have a dental examination every 6 months. Young children will need parenteral assistance and supervision to learn to floss correctly.
