How to Check Your Child’s Teeth

Sometimes when your children are brushing their teeth, take a moment to look for these signs of trouble:

• Dark spots on the teeth
  
• Holes in the enamel
• Pain in mouth
• Teeth that are sensitive to heat, cold, or sweets
• Teeth that are painful or sensitive when chewing
• Gums that are pulling away from the teeth

If you see any of these signs, schedule a dentist appointment as soon as possible. Any problem is easier to fix if you get treatment early.
