Why do some toddlers need fillings at just 2 years old? 🍼🦷
It’s something that happens with prolonged bottle feeding and has been called baby bottle cavities. The condition is also called early childhood caries.
Constant sipping on juice or milk means teeth are bathed in sugar all day, and baby enamel is thinner, so those cavities spread fast.
The good news? A few simple habits can protect your little one’s smile — switch to water between meals, avoid overnight bottles, and start early dental visits. 💧😊
Your child’s healthy smile starts with gentle prevention and loving guidance. 💕

Why do some teens have worn teeth — even before they’ve had cavities? 😬🦷
Nighttime grinding, or bruxism, can wear teeth down just as quickly as decay. It’s more common than you might think, especially during times of stress, growth, or orthodontic changes.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in West Los Angeles, our team gently evaluate for signs of grinding and offer comfortable, custom solutions to help protect growing smiles. 💛
Have you ever noticed your teen grinding their teeth at night? We’d love to hear your experience below — or contact us to learn how we can help keep those smiles strong and healthy. 💬

Sippy cup hack every parent should know! 🍼💧
Want to protect your toddler’s teeth from sippy cup cavities? Start by swapping juice for water in their sippy cup. You can dilute the juice a little more each day until it’s water only — and always brush before bedtime. 🦷✨
Sippy cups are great for independence, but constant sipping on juice can cause early tooth decay. This simple sippy cup tip helps keep smiles healthy and bright. 🌈
Parents — would you try this tonight? 💛

Parents always ask — why see a dentist at age one? 👶🦷
Because a healthy smile starts early! The best time to build lifelong oral health is right at the beginning of your child’s journey. At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in West Los Angeles, Dr. Reem and our team love guiding parents through their baby’s first dentist visit — making it gentle, positive, and fun. 💛
Early dental visits help prevent cavities, create good habits, and make future appointments easy and comfortable. Teaching parents how to care for their baby’s mouth is truly where healthy smiles begin. 🌈

Hi everyone 💛
I wanted to share something exciting that landed on my doorstep recently.
The team at Zylo kindly sent me their new printer and a selection of resins to explore. I’m simply trying it out with fresh eyes. No ties, just my own curiosity and love for anything that can elevate digital workflows for our kids and teens.
I’ve only just begun testing it, but a few things have already caught my attention:
- A compact, joyful footprint that fits beautifully in a pediatric space
- An “all-in-one” ecosystem with a magnetic arm that takes the print right into the wash.
- Quick print cycles, especially for small appliances
I’m still early in the process and will share more once I’ve run a full series of cases and compared it with my other systems. For now, I really enjoy supporting thoughtful innovation, and the Zylo team is launching at the Greater New York Dental Meeting, so if you’re attending, it might be worth stopping by to experience it yourself.
Here’s to more imagination, more innovation, and more tools that help us elevate our patient care 😊 ... See MoreSee Less

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! 🧡🎓
Have you tried weaning your child off the pacifier yet? 💬

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. 💧🧡
Did any of these surprise you? 💬 Share your little one’s teething story below — we love hearing from our Smiles families!
