Part 2 of 2 🍼💛 Pacifier
Here’s how to help your toddler say goodbye to the pacifier — gently and successfully. 🌈
Step 1: Downsize. Keep just one or two pacifiers and get rid of the rest.
Step 2: Use a clean pair of scissors to snip a tiny hole in the tip — this allows the pacifier to start collapsing. ✂️
Step 3: Every few nights, trim a little more off the tip. Tell your toddler their teeth must be super sharp and might be “nibbling” at it while they sleep — this keeps it lighthearted and positive. 💛
Step 4: Continue trimming until there’s no nipple left. The pacifier will slowly lose its comfort, helping your toddler let go naturally.
And just like that — it’s a happy pacifier graduation! 🧡🎓

3 surprising things that can happen when baby teeth come in 🦷💛
One — Mild rash around the mouth: Caused by extra drooling that can irritate the skin.
Two — Rubbing gums: A natural response that helps teeth break through and soothes tender gums.
Three — Slight elevation of temperature: Sometimes happens when little ones eat or drink less during teething.
Pro tip: Keep a soft bib handy and apply a gentle moisturizer to help prevent rashes from drool. 💧🧡

Part 1 of 2 🍼💛
Ever wonder how long your child should keep their pacifier?
It starts as comfort — but over time, it can quietly change how little teeth and jaws grow.
In this video, Dr. Reem explains what happens when pacifier use continues into toddlerhood. The pacifier begins to act almost like an orthodontic appliance, changing the balance between the tongue, cheeks, and dental arches. 🦷✨
This shift can lead to what’s called a “Binky bite,” where the upper arch narrows, front teeth flare out, and back teeth collapse inward. Understanding this early helps protect your child’s developing smile. 🌈
Stay tuned for part 2, where Dr. Reem shares gentle, effective ways to help your toddler wean off the pacifier with love and success. 💛

Did you know babies grow 20 tiny teeth — and the first one often appears around 6 months? 🦷✨ Most babies start teething between 4 and 7 months, though every little smile has its own timing. The bottom front teeth usually pop up first, followed by those adorable top ones. By age 3, most children have their full set of 20 baby teeth! 🌈
Pro tip: Start early! Wiping your baby’s gums with a clean, damp cloth helps build healthy oral habits even before that first tooth arrives. 💧💛

Did you know the #1 area at risk for early childhood cavities in your toddler’s mouth is those adorable two top front teeth? 🦷✨ Unlike the bottom front teeth that get swept by the tongue and naturally washed with saliva, the top teeth are the first to be exposed to what your little one eats and drinks — which makes brushing here super important! 💛
Pro tip: If your toddler’s teeth touch instead of having small spaces between them, it’s time to start flossing — especially in that center midline contact! 🪥💫
Have you noticed if your child’s teeth touch or have space between them? Share your experience or ask us your toddler brushing questions below! 💬
