Common Questions

< Previous  1  2  3  Next >

5 . Is it okay for my child to sip on juice and milk all day?
NO! Dr. Ellsworth suggests that children drink fluoridated water in between meals. Juice and milk promote tooth decay.

6 . Is it okay to put my baby to bed with milk or juice in his/her bottle?
NO! The sweet liquids will promote tooth decay. Please brush or clean the teeth with a wet washcloth after nursing or bottle feeding.

7 . Why are baby teeth so important?
Baby teeth enable children to chew naturally and aid in speech development. Baby teeth also maintain space for the adult teeth.

8 . My child fell and knocked out a permanent tooth- what do I do?
Remain calm and find the tooth. Don't hold the tooth by the root. Try to reinsert the tooth in the socket. If you are unable to do so, place the tooth in milk and call Dr. Ellsworth immediately.
