How to choose the right dental
products for infants and toddlers
MARQUETTE – These days,
even the local grocery store has
many dental products on the shelf
and parents may find it challenging
to figure out what is really needed
for their infant or toddler.
According to Rebecca Maino,
dental hygienist, it is actually quite
simple.
“Infants and young children
don’t need fancy toothbrushes or
gadgets … there are only a few
items necessary to give your child
a healthy smile.”
Maino notes that for newborns
and infants, it is important to
massage the baby’s gums with a
damp washcloth after feedings. If
parents are afraid their child will
be awakened by cleaning after
the feeding is complete, there are
benefits to doing this even before
the feeding.
Once the first tooth comes
in, parents may begin using a
toothbrush or simply continue to
wipe the baby’s gums and tooth
with a damp washcloth.
“For teething discomfort, use
something cool, like a cold teething
ring or a wet washcloth,” Maino
said. “Items that are purchased
over-the-counter to numb the gums
(such as Orajel) are generally not
recommended for use on infants or
very young children.”
Toddlers and preschoolers need
a soft bristled toothbrush. Power
toothbrushes may offer some
“Smear” of uoride toothpaste 0‐3 yrs old “Pea‐size” of uoride toothpaste 3‐6 yrs old incentive to brush, but they are
not necessary. Only a pea-size
amount of fluoridated toothpaste is
necessary on children that are three
to six years old.
For children younger than three
years, a small smear of fluoridated
toothpaste (about the size of a grain
of rice) is recommended. Children
under the age of seven or eight
years need their parent or caregiver
to help clean their teeth properly
because they really do not have the
finger and hand coordination to do
a thorough job.
Brushing should be done at least
twice daily, morning and at night
before bedtime.
According
to
Dr.
Terry
Frankovich, a pediatrician and
public health medical director,
drinking fluoridated water is
important to the development of
the teeth forming under the gums
because fluoride is a natural cavity
fighter.
Once toddlers or preschoolers
have teeth coming in close together
(no spacing between teeth), parents
need to begin flossing for them to
keep gums and teeth healthy.
So, the list of what parents need
for their young child’s smile is
really pretty simple:
• Washcloth
• Soft-bristled toothbrush
• Fluoridated toothpaste
• Floss
• Fluoride
prescription
if
drinking water is not fluoridated
Maino
also
recommends
children visit a dentist at or by one
year of age one.

screen applicants’ creditworthiness
as part of their candidate review.
Go to AnnualCreditReport.com
(https://www.annualcreditreport.
com/index.action) for free access
to reports from the three major
credit agencies – Experian,
TransUnion and Equifax – to

negatives you need to repair.
Evaluating search expenses and
potential tax savings come next.
Here are a few of the current rules
listed by the IRS (http://www.irs.
gov/uac/Newsroom/Job-HuntingExpenses). Make note that your
current job status will affect how
the rules apply to you:
Expenses may qualify as
deductions only for a job search
in your current line of work.
You won’t be able to deduct
expenses for a job search in a new
occupation.
You can’t deduct job search
expenses if you’re looking for a
job for the first time or if there’s
been what the IRS calls a “long
break” between your last job and
beginning your search for a new
one.
If you travel to look for a job in
a qualified job search, you may be
able to deduct the costs of all or
part of the trip.
A job search is always a good
time to revisit current budgeting
and savings goals. For example,
you might want to do more
specialized budgeting (http://
www.practicalmoneyskills.com/
calculators/budgetgoals) as you
aim for a particular salary offer.
You’ll also want to consider the
timing of your search to exhaust

benefits you’ve earned at your
current employer. You will see
many employees schedule a job
search after annual bonuses are
paid or after they’re able to spend
out in tax-advantaged Health or
Flexible Spending accounts (HSAs
or FSAs) for qualified health care,
dependent care or other approved
benefits. Also, before you start
applying, it might be worthwhile
to review confidentiality or noncompete agreements you signed
at the time your current employer
hired you in case those agreements
might restrict any element of your
search.
Sometimes job offers distract
workers from taking a thorough
look at the value of potential benefits
(http://www.practicalmoneyskills.
com/employerbenefits). You may
not get all the details until your
actual starting date, but see whether
your future employer’s human
resources department can share
details of the health, retirement or
tax-advantaged benefits programs
they offer. Above all, find out how
soon you’ll be eligible to sign up
for your new employer’s 401(k)
retirement plan.
Finally, touch base again with
your financial advisor before you
accept to make sure you’ve got
all the information you need. You
will need to do parallel retirement
planning if you are to retire
successfully, and qualified advisors
can also assist with transferring
previous-employer
retirement
assets and suggestions on ways
to use other work-related benefits
efficiently.
Bottom line: When searching for
a new job, go beyond the paycheck
issues to research tax and benefit
issues that can make a good job a
great one.

Looking for Work? Plan a
Money-Smart Job Search
A successful job search goes
well beyond snagging the title and
the paycheck. From the day you
start looking until the day you’re
hired, there are strategic and
financial issues to consider that
may be more valuable to you in the
long run.
To start, job seekers should
always begin with a plan to
promote themselves both in person
and online, and some aspects of
that process may be tax deductible.
Keep in mind that if you are
already employed, you may want
to consider certain timing and
legal issues that will define how
and when you search. And finally,
taking the job requires a close look
at benefits.
It makes sense to discuss
any potential job search with a
qualified financial advisor who
can evaluate your current financial
circumstances as well as offer
tips on how to strengthen your
preparations for retirement and
other goals.
Start with market research and
improving your public profile.
A recent Jobvite study notes that
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn
profiles are the ranking social
media options reaching employers
and for industry hiring and pay
projections, the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics’ Occupational
Outlook Handbook (http://www.
bls.gov/ooh/) is a wide-ranging
and constantly updated online
resource for that data.
