We frequently, and with great passion, discuss the necessity of routine dental hygiene. Do it twice per day. Brush for two full minutes. Use fluoride toothpaste. Floss at least once a day. Drink more water and less soda and juices. Sound familiar? Of course it does; hopefully most of those directives are embedded in your brain!
Be that as it may, we don’t discuss as often how to take care of your toothbrush. Care for your toothbrush? You don’t have to love it (but when your kids love theirs, it can make life a bit easier). Still, think about it: all the bacteria, plaque, and germs in your mouth are scrubbed away with those bristles, but is it enough to do a quick rinse and shake of your toothbrush when you finish?
Let’s dig in!
Proper Storage of Toothbrush
The fact that we clean our teeth in the same room as we urinate and defecate seems normal, and while it is normal by our standards, it’s not necessarily clean. When you flush the toilet, the action sends an aerosol of microscopic particles of whatever was in the toilet, into the air. This is referred to as toilet plume, and has actually been the study of a number of research studies.
A study from 2005, “The potential spread of infection caused by aerosol contamination of surfaces after flushing a domestic toilet“, found evidence that while closing the lid of the toilet prior to flushing is helpful, it does not fully reduce the spread of toilet plume, and bacteria can be transmitted onto bathroom surfaces. This brings us succinctly around to the point of where and how you store your toothbrush.
A knee-jerk reaction may be to move your toothbrushes to a cabinet or drawer, this is understandable and logical. Unfortunately, while that may protect them from toilet plume, it isn’t terribly sanitary either because an enclosed space will make it difficult for the bristles to dry out, thereby allowing bacteria and germs to propagate. If you’ve read up on the topic already, you may see some recommendations to store your toothbrush with a cap. Again, a storage cap creates an enclosed space that will prevent your bristles from drying out and can cause bacteria to actually grow with the moisture. So, what are you supposed to do?
Toothbrushes should be stored vertically, and without touching each other. Place the toothbrush stand on the opposite side of the sink from the toilet (or further away if space allows). When you are finished brushing your teeth, rub the bristles under water to wash away visible physical matter and remaining toothpaste. Shake to remove excess water and stand to air dry.
Cleaning Your Toothbrush
Despite your new awareness of toilet plume (or perhaps due to it), and therefore your better storage arrangement for said toothbrushes, you might want to consider cleaning your toothbrush. Some google results will suggest that you put it with the silverware in your dishwasher or giving it a few minutes in the microwave, but the American Dentists Association actually recommend against those methods of cleaning. Instead, research shows that soaking your toothbrush in either three percent hydrogen peroxide or Listerine Antiseptic mouthwash reduces up to 85% of bacteria.
Do You Need a Toothbrush Sanitizer?
In the last several years, toothbrush sanitizers have become a popular item that can be found in most drugstores, Walmarts, Targets etc. Although, just because these items are readily available, do you need one?
That depends mostly on how concerned you are about the aerosol of germs in your bathroom. Despite the fact that toilet plume does exist, which is gross, unless someone in your family has acute gastroenteritis (and even then) it is unlikely to actually harm you.
Nevertheless, toothbrush sanitizers are relatively affordable. When selecting a toothbrush sanitizer, be sure to buy one that has FDA approval. Many sanitizers use UV lights and/or heat, therefore purchasing one that has met the FDA standards will ensure it’s safe to have in your home.
Moreover, it is important to take note of the distinction in meaning between to sterilize and to sanitize. To sterilize something, that means to completely eliminate all bacteria. That’s not what these devices do. We’re talking about sanitizers, which means they will reduce the presence of bacteria not remove it altogether.
When to Replace Your Toothbrush
How long have your kids been using the same toothbrush? Are the bristles worn looking and wonky? General advice is that you should be replacing toothbrushes in the house every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles look worn. It’s also a smart idea to replace a toothbrush when someone’s been sick.
Re-use Old Toothbrushes
Hold onto those old toothbrushes before you throw them in the trash. There’s actually a number of things you can use them for, once they’ve been cleaned.
Toothbrushes are excellent for cleaning grout lines in bathroom tile, cleaning the metal sliding tracks of shower doors, and other corners around the house that are a challenge to scrub. Don’t forget your jewelry box, those bristles will reach well into the grooves of brooches, rings, earrings, and bracelets.
How about art projects? Toothbrushes are surprising substitutes for craft ideas around the house or as paint brushes in several different DIY projects at home with the kids. Here are a few to jump start your brain!

We write regularly about parent tips for encouraging dental hygiene, healthy eating habits, and our pediatric dental services, and yet the sheer breadth of information on the topic of children’s teeth can seem rather overwhelming. Our staff answers individual questions from parents (and kids!) regularly, and you might be surprised to know that many of the questions bouncing around in your head, are frequently asked by others as well. With this in mind, we’ve put together a master list of frequently asked questions (FAQs).
Pediatric Dentistry Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers)
When should I bring my child in for their first dental checkup?
We typically suggest you bring in your little one when their first tooth has erupted. This is generally between six to 12 months of age. If your baby is turning one year old and has yet to have their first tooth poke through, it’s time for a dental checkup, yes even without a tooth. For more in-depth information about this topic, check out our article.
How should I clean my baby’s teeth?
You can purchase a special infant toothbrush at most drugstores. The bristles should be soft and the head of the brush especially small to better fit their mouth. Brush twice a day, using a tiny amount of toothpaste (such as a grain of rice).
What is the difference between a pediatric dentist and a regular dentist?
Pediatric dentists complete two to three additional years of specialized training after dental school. This additional training focuses on the techniques and tools specifically designed for children’s comfort as well as training to encounter, understand, and address the developmental and emotional needs for infants to adolescents, including children with special needs. For more information, read this article.
Are pacifiers bad for my baby’s teeth?
Pacifiers and thumb sucking are natural soothing habits for babies and toddlers. They can become harmful if they persist beyond three years of age. Chat with your pediatric dentist if you have concerns.
How often should my kid visit the dentist?
Everyone, adults included, should have two dental checkups per year. Most insurances have transitioned to including coverage for two per year, as companies analyze the cost benefits of preventative care. Be sure you’re maximizing your dental insurance benefits before the year is out, for more information about this, read our in-depth article.
How do I prevent tooth decay from nursing or bottle rot?
Research shows that breast milk while containing sugar, does not cause tooth decay, however once your baby begins eating foods the potential for tooth decay will arise. Bottle rot is a common term that refers to tooth decay that is caused due to improper bottle feeding habits. Keep your baby’s access to their bottle limited, and never put juice in it. Even before your baby erupts their first tooth, you should gently wash their gums with a clean washcloth and water to scrub away any lingering bacteria. For more detailed information about how to avoid bottle rot, read our article, here.
Should my child get dental sealants?
Dental sealants are a preventative measure dentists use that we strongly recommend. The crevices and ridges in teeth, particularly the back molars are favorite spots for bacteria and food stuffs to linger. Additionally, those back teeth are more difficult for children to reach when they brush. The dental sealants literally seal a protective coat to the crevices of the teeth protecting them from tooth decay and making them less deep, and therefore easier to brush clean. For more information about dental sealants, read here.
Does my child need fluoride treatments?
Is your primary source of water treated with fluoride? Or do you typically drink store-bought bottled water? Most city and town water sources have been treated with fluoride, it’s in fact considered one of the greatest public health accomplishments in the last century. Check to be sure your toothpaste has fluoride. When your child comes in for a dental visit we can discuss whether your child is a good candidate for a fluoride treatment, or supplement. We know that some families find the topic of fluoride controversial, so if you have concerns please bring them to us so that we can discuss. You can also read more about fluoride treatments, here.
What do I do if my child chips a tooth or one is knocked out?
Retrieve the tooth (or piece of it), but avoid touching the root. Place the tooth in a sealed container with milk, and call your pediatric dentist for an emergency dental appointment right away. For more detailed guidance if you find yourself in this circumstance, we’ve written up several scenarios and step by step instructions for how to respond. You can find them, here.
Many of these instances occur due to injuries from sports activities. We strongly urge parents to invest in mouth guards for their children. Mouth guards are required for contact sports such as football, but research shows they are necessary for all sports activities. For more information about mouth guards, check out this article.
What do I do when my child has a toothache?
If your child complains of a toothache, it is likely to be a symptom of tooth decay. Have them rinse their mouth out with some room temperature salt water. You can give them an appropriate dosage of child’s acetaminophen to help with the pain, and an icepack for their cheek if the area is also swollen. You’ll also need to schedule a visit with your pediatric dentist as soon as possible.
Why does a cavity in a baby tooth need to be filled?
A cavity in a baby tooth needs to be treated not only to ease your child’s pain, but also because the decay in one tooth can spread into others when left untreated. We prefer not to pull a tooth in such a circumstance because our body’s natural inclination is for the baby tooth to fall out when it’s ready. Until then, the baby teeth serve to preserve the space for the permanent tooth, and help with chewing and proper speech.
Are dental X-rays safe?
As previously mentioned, pediatric dentists are specially trained to work with kids. We take special care to limit exposure, lead protective aprons are used as is high-speed film. X-rays are important for pediatric dentists to properly assess dental issues so that nothing is overlooked that could become a bigger problem later on.

Moms and dads, holiday season is under way with the familiar scents and events as we pull out those gorgeous leafy decorations, pumpkins (pumpkin everything, really) costumes, and favorite movies, in addition to tissue boxes for sniffling noses and chapstick. Before you know it, Thanksgiving will arrive, and then it’s a frantic busy slide right into Christmas and New Year’s Eve. It’s a fun time of year full of family gatherings and events, yet it also means that your insurance benefits are coming close to a lapse.
Most insurance plans include coverage for dental services for all members of the family in question. You are paying those monthly premiums, however have you checked to see if you’re maximizing the dental insurance benefits in your plan? Some things to consider:
- Has each child in your family had dental X-rays taken this year?
- Has each child in your family had 2 dental cleanings this year?
- Has one of your children complained about dental pain but you’ve forgotten about it in the everyday bustle of life?
Questions to Ask Your Dental Insurance Provider
- What is my copay?
- What is my maximum coverage amount per person in the family?
- Does my coverage include basic preventative care?
- Are X-rays covered?
- If yes, under what circumstances and/or with what frequency?
- Are dental cleanings covered?
- If yes, how many per year?
- Are fluoride treatments covered?
- If yes, are their age restrictions for fluoride treatments?
- What is my coverage for basic restorative care?
- Is basic restorative care covered up to a certain amount or is a percentage of it covered?
- What is considered basic restorative care in my plan?
- Is in-office sedation covered in my plan?
General Information About Dental Insurance
Basic preventative care typically covers two dental cleanings per year, some plans include a fluoride treatment at the cleaning appointment under the coverage, while others do not. Other insurance plans only cover fluoride treatments for certain ages.
Annual X-rays may be covered by your insurance, while yet other plans only cover them when deemed necessary by the dentist. Such circumstances when X-rays would be necessary would be in preparation for restorative work.
Some plans may cover mouth guards for children under preventative care but not all. Which is unfortunate due to the fact that we know dental injuries are common and preventable with the use of mouth guards when engaging in any type of sport activity!
Basic restorative care typically includes fillings, dental emergencies such as chipped or knocked loose teeth, as well as crowns or root canals. It’s important to ask your insurance questions about basic restorative care, due to the fact that while fillings are almost always covered, they might have restrictions on said coverage. For example, most people prefer composite fillings on the grounds that the composite material blends in with the color of the tooth so as to not be obvious. Some dental plans may only cover amalgam fillings, which are structurally sound but have the disadvantage of being metal in appearance and therefore not very discreet.
Partial Coverage for Restorative Dental Work
Don’t be surprised if you learn that your plan will only fully cover some basic preventative care services. It’s pretty common for restorative care to be partially covered. Partial coverage can mean that they’ll cover up to a certain amount in a year period for each member of your family (or in some cases a certain amount per family) while with other insurance providers, partial coverage means the insurance company will cover a percentage of restorative care services.
Furthermore, some insurances cover partial until a threshold is reached. Upon reaching that threshold, you may be entitled to full coverage again. Accordingly, if this is your circumstance, it’s important to find out how close to that threshold you are.
In-Office Sedation Services and Dental Coverage
When you are checking the details of your dental coverage with your insurance provider, it’s a good idea to ask for details about sedation. Our offices provide three different sedation options:
- Oral Sedation – prescription sedatives for the night prior or the day of a procedure or visit, we may suggest and also implement if your child suffers dental anxiety or has developmental delays that may cause difficulties for dental procedures.
- Nitrous Oxide – also referred to as “laughing gas” is most often utilized in conjunction with a local numbing agent for restorative dental procedures.
- Intravenous Sedation – unlike general anesthesia utilized in hospitals by surgeons, our intravenous sedation technique does not inhibit the protective reflexes, which mainly means our patients under intravenous sedation can breathe on their own.
Any time we consider in-office sedation, we first review the options, the benefits, including the circumstances with the parents. If there is a concern for cost and/or insurance coverage, we will work with you and together we’ll find a solution.

It’s officially fall, and that means the beginning of a string of happy holidays to look forward to, first among them, Halloween. Are you already decorating your house in pumpkins, spider webs, and spooky specters? It’s no doubt your kids are excitedly deciding on their costumes for their exciting night of trick-or-treating. Moreover, the time-honored tradition of pumpkin buckets full of candy is already filling their heads with anticipation. But what about their teeth?
It’s no secret that those tricks and treats are an assault on teeth, but how do we reconcile fun, tradition, and dental health all in the same bucket? We’ve put together a list of dental tips for you to help you survive Halloween with a balance that will include some healthy treats alongside the chocolates. You won’t have to say “no” to everything.
Toothy Tips for Your Child’s Dental Health This Halloween
1. Space Out the Stock Pile
Put limits on how many Halloween sweets your kids can eat at once. It’s not unusual for kids to want to binge on their goodies when they come home, but it’s certainly bad for their teeth. Space it out, allowing one or two treats per day instead.
2. Sort Through the Stock Pile
While it’s true that any candy or sweet is bad for your teeth, not all are created equal. Sort through their stash, and pull out hard candies that take a long time to dissolve. These candies are particularly harmful to the enamel on teeth due to the longer period of time they take to dissolve. The drawn-out process allows the sugars more time to compromise the tooth’s enamel before being washed away. Additionally, after an extended period of time sucking on a hard candy, we chew them up. These hard candies tend to stick firmly in the crevices of our teeth and are difficult to dislodge. Similarly, sticky candies such as taffy, gummy bears, gummy wears, and gumdrops present the issue of sticking to the teeth.
3. Donate Excess Candy
This is actually becoming a more popular solution for parents everywhere. It seems wasteful to simply throw away all the candy that has been deemed too sticky or too hard, and there are programs established to donate unopened and unwanted sweets! Isn’t American ingenuity wonderful? Call your local nursing home, homeless shelter, or food pantry to see if they will accept these donations. If these options aren’t accepting candy donations, hold off before you toss them into the trash! Here’s a rundown of some national programs that will take your candies off your hands without a doubt:
- Treats for Troops by Soldiers’ Angels – Fill out their donation form and mail your candy to the collection address found on their official website’s search function.
- Operation Gratitude – Register on their website where you will be paired with a local military unit, veteran group, first responders, or asked to ship to a collection center. This group also accepts monetary donations to aid with the cost of shipping the candy care packages to trips.
- Operation Shoebox – Operation Shoebox sends care packages all year long, regardless of the season, and are always accepting donations. Donations can be sent directly to their receiving address in Florida.
- Ronald McDonald House Charities – Ronald McDonald helps take care of families who have children in the hospital. Imagine how delighted children would be who can’t go out trick-or-treating to receive a Halloween treat? Check their website to find a chapter near you to organize your donation.
- Halloween Candy Buy Back – Nationwide businesses are organizing buy-back events, check the website to search for a business doing a buy-back event near you!
4. Timing
We’ve talked before about the superpowers of our saliva in washing away sugars and acids that eat on the enamel of our teeth. The fact is, our saliva production increases during mealtime therefore, if your kids are going to eat chocolates or candies, they had best do it right after a meal so there’s plenty of saliva to start working. Avoid allowing the candy as a snack when saliva production is lower, healthy snacks such as crispy fruits or veggies are best between meals.
5. Water with fluoride
Fluoridated water is another steadfast soldier in the protection of our teeth. Make compromises with your kids that if they’re going to have a candy, they’ll avoid juices or sodas and stick with water to quench their thirst afterward (sugar makes us thirsty). If you’re opposed to drinking water from the tap, this link will take you to a list of brands that produce bottled water with fluoride.
6. Set an Example
Consider you’re not the only parent concerned about the massive quantities of candy your kids are receiving every Halloween. Why not, instead of handing out candies at your doorstep, seek to set an example and hand out something healthier or creative for Halloween? Here are a few ideas:
- With a black marker, draw a jack-o-lantern face on little tangerines to hand out.
- Hand out ADA-approved sugarless gum.
- Hand out granola bars.
- Hand out mini boxes of raisins.
- Hand out mini packets of trail mix or peanuts.
- Hand out little applesauce snack cups.
- Some of these healthy Halloween snacks cost more than others, and certainly none of them are likely as cheap as buying a bag of small chocolates. Nevertheless, you aren’t required to have your porch light on all night. Buy what you budget for, and turn out your light when supplies are gone. There’ll likely be more than one parent out there relieved to see something in their kids’ pumpkin bucket that they can consider healthy.
7. Brush Teeth
If you’ve been lax on the routine of brushing and flossing at home, it’s time to turn back to it! Throughout the month of October, chocolates and candies are available in abundance, not only on the night of the 31st. Hop on the dental hygiene habit wagon, and stick to it this month, no matter how late you stay out trick-or-treating on Halloween.
As always, we’re here for you, so if your kids are due for a checkup, or a cleaning we’ll have them in the dentist’s chair quick. Give us a call and come see us before they have a toothache.

It’s no secret that parents and experts alike worldwide are concerned about how life under the duress of COVID-19 is influencing (for better or – more talked about – worse) our children’s lives. We worry about the physical effects on their eyes and their brains from so much time in front of a computer or tablet screen when virtual school has caused such a significant up-tick in screen time. We worry about their behavioral development as our societies have turned very insular and social interactions are so limited if they occur at all. We worry about their mental health as more are subjected to internalizing major stresses in the home from food and job insecurity or the direct stress issues that come from parents managing so much all while everyone is in the home all the time.
Less talked about, although certainly a concern from all our staff at the four Utah Pediatric Dentists locations, is the impact the pandemic is having on children’s dental health.
Mott Poll Report on the Challenges to Children’s Oral Health Due to the Pandemic
In February 2021, the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital released their findings of a report conducted to study the impact of COVID-19 on the dental health of children in the United States. The survey was conducted recently, in January 2021 to families with at least one child under 18 in their home. Some of these findings aren’t surprising. However, thankfully not all are negative, there were a few pleasant surprises as well. Here’s a thorough run-down of their findings directly from the source:
60% of parents surveyed reported they had at least attempted to get preventative dental care for their child since the onset of COVID-19.
- 69% of those parents reported they were able to get an appointment in the usual timeframe.
- 24% of those parents reported they were able to get an appointment, after a delay.
- 7% of those parents reported they were unable to get an appointment.
Of the parents, unable to get an appointment, a small percentage of them did have private insurance (4%) or no coverage (5%) at all while a significantly higher percentage had Medicaid dental coverage (15%). 40% of parents reported they had not attempted to schedule preventative dental care for their child. When asked to give a reason most responses fell into one of the following four reasons:
- 40% of the parents in this group gave the reason that they did not want to risk coronavirus exposure.
- 23% of the parents in this group said their dental office was closed or only accepting patients with dental emergencies.
- 23% of the parents in this group said their child wasn’t due for an appointment.
- 28% reported their child didn’t have any dental issues.
- 67% of parents surveyed reported that it felt safe to seek dental care for their child now.
- 14% of parents surveyed reported that it felt unsafe.
- 19% of parents surveyed reported that they were unsure if it was safe or not.
- 33.33% of parents say the pandemic has been a barrier to getting preventative dental care.
Now for the pleasant surprises:
- 28% of parents reported at least one change to the benefit of their child’s dental health.
- 37% of this group of parents have Medicaid dental coverage.
- 32% of this group of parents have zero dental coverage.
- 24% of this group of parents have private dental insurance.
Of the positive changes reported:
- 16% are brushing more often.
- 11% are flossing more often.
- 9% are using a fluoride rinse more often.
- 15% are drinking sugary beverages less often.
While the survey doesn’t exactly give a pediatric dentist an overwhelming feeling of success, the positive changes that were reported in almost 1/3 of surveyed households are absolutely encouraging. We want to follow that feeling of encouragement and share it with the parents of our pediatric patients in our communities.
What You Can Do in Home to Combat Negative Dental Effects During the Pandemic
While our kids are spending more time at home, and less time in the actual classroom their access to food has become almost unlimited. The problem with unlimited access to food for kids is that it can result in grazing, which means snacking lightly but steadily over a long period of time. Grazing, simply stated, is bad for anyone’s dental health (not only kids) because it is a near-constant assault of sugars and acids on your teeth.
What Can You Do About It?
We’re not asking you to put locks on the pantry, fridge, and cabinets (although technically you could do that.) We’ve got a few simple things you can do to help reduce the grazing and reduce the damage snacking can cause.
- Create a meal and snack schedule for the household.
- Maximize the healthy snacks that are available such as crisp fruits and vegetables like apples, pears, carrots, celery. Nuts are also a great snack packed with protein. For more about teeth healthy snacks, check out this blog post.
- Minimize access to “junk” foods. If it’s not in the house, it’s so much easier to curb. Junk foods can be such a temptation, knowing there’s a bag of chips in the pantry just might be torture for your 14-year-old.
Safe access or perceived safe access to preventative dental health was another major concern in the Mott Report, and for that, we ask you to call us. We are open, we are taking precautions to protect ourselves, our staff, and our patients from contagion, and we want to see our pediatric patients!
If you’re a parent who is concerned about the safety of bringing your child in for a dental cleaning and checkup, let us know your concerns and we can tell you specifically about our biosecurity protocols. If you think your child doesn’t have a need for an appointment, nevertheless it’s been more than six months, it’s still time to schedule an appointment. Your child might not have any pressing dental needs right now, but an important part of prevention is dental cleanings every six months. Call us today and get your child scheduled for a cleaning.
