Setting your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles starts with preventive dental care. At Kool Koala Pediatric and Adolescent Dentistry, we believe that early, consistent dental care helps prevent issues before they start. Helping your child establish strong oral hygiene habits at home, along with regular dental checkups, can lead to a lifetime of bright, healthy smiles. Our pediatric dentists are dedicated to providing personalized care and guidance to support their dental health journey.
Regular dental checkups are essential for maintaining oral health and catching issues early. We recommend scheduling a dental checkup every six months, which includes:

Establishing daily oral care habits is key to avoiding plaque and cavities. Here’s how you can support your child’s dental health:
By teaching children these basics, you’re helping them build a foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits.
Proper brushing and flossing techniques are essential to effective plaque removal and cavity prevention.
Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums to effectively clean around each tooth.
Brush all surfaces of each tooth using small, circular motions.
Brushing the tongue removes bacteria and keeps breath fresh.
Wrap about 18 inches of floss around your fingers, leaving a small amount to work with.
Gently slide the floss between teeth and make a “C” shape around each tooth, cleaning under the gumline.
Encouraging these habits from a young age helps kids develop a strong oral hygiene routine.
All six of our locations are dedicated to providing quality preventive care to children throughout New Jersey and Delaware.
Our friendly team is here to make every dental visit enjoyable, helping children build positive attitudes toward dental health.
