From Bump to Braces

From the first gummy smile to the day the braces come off-this book is your complete guide.

Parenting comes with endless questions about teeth: When should the first dental visit be? How do I stop bedtime battles over brushing? Do pacifiers or thumb-sucking really cause problems? And what about braces-why do some kids need them twice?

Inside you'll discover the truth about:

- What really matters during pregnancy for your baby's teeth

- Teething, tantrums, and the remedies that actually work

- Pacifiers and thumb-sucking - harmless comfort or expensive habit?

- Brushing, flossing tips - no more power struggles

- The Fluoride Wars - the science and personal choice

- Why some kids need braces twice, and how to avoid it if possible

- Dental emergencies - when it is urgent (and when it isn't)

From Bump to Braces takes you through every stage with clarity, humor, and reassurance. Written by a dentist mom and ortho dad who are also parents of three, it's the guide you'll keep coming back to-from the bump all the way to braces.
