Baby Bump? Time to Brush!
Did you know?
• Baby teeth begin to form in the first 6–8 weeks of pregnancy. • Morning sickness and increased consumption of sugary and starchy snacks may change acid-producing bacteria, which can increase cavities and enamel erosion. • Advanced gum disease has been associated with early uterine contractions, premature birth and low-birth-weight babies. • Your baby’s teeth begin to come in at six months of age. • Start a routine of wiping the mouth out after feeding, even before teeth come in. • Brush any baby teeth as they come into the mouth. • See a pediatric dentist around your child’s first birthday.
Healthy smiles are happy smiles! At Redmond Kids’ Dentistry, we treat each family like our extended family. We help each child achieve optimal oral health in a caring, gentle and fun environment. Why a pediatric dental specialist for your kids? From age 1 to 18, kids grow and change year after year, and our doctors and staff are trained to help guide you through all of those stages of development, starting from your baby’s first tooth. Children with special needs are also provided with an environment of TLC that meets their needs. We are so proud of Dr. Stephanie Su and Dr. Purva Merchant for being voted into Seattle Metropolitan’s Top Dentists list for 2022. Our greatest reward, though, is in the number of smiles we see!

It’s time to catch up on your child’s checkups
We’ve all been a little off our routines the past couple of years. And for many of us, navigating big changes means that things such as routine checkups and immunizations have fallen by the wayside.
As we all work to find our new rhythm, be sure to prioritize getting your child back to their doctor or clinic. Staying up to date on your child’s checkups is an important part of making sure they have everything they need to keep growing, learning ... and occasionally getting into trouble!
Let’s catch up on checkups, Washington — reach out to your child’s doctor or clinic today.
