When your child loses their first (or second, or third) tooth, it’s an exciting time — cue the tooth fairy! Most children will lose their 20 baby teeth in the same order that they first came in when they were babies. However, every child may react differently. Some may anxiously await a visit from the tooth fairy, others may be fearful of pain or discomfort, and some children may be indifferent. When your child starts losing some of their baby teeth and their permanent teeth are on the way, here’s what you should (and shouldn’t) do! NO WIGGLING. Your child’s tooth will fall out on its own when it’s ready. It’s important to encourage your child to not wiggle or yank on their loose tooth with their fingers. This will only cause unnecessary pain and discomfort. REMAIN CALM. As a parent, it can be a little nerve-wracking when your child loses their first tooth, but it’s important to keep in mind that staying calm helps your child do the same. If they begin to panic, they may worsen any bleeding, pain, or swelling. CLEAN AND BAG IT UP. Rinse your child’s tooth off with water and place it in a zip-close bag. This helps to secure the tooth until the tooth fairy shows up! CLEAN THE AREA. If your child is experiencing excessive bleeding where the tooth fell out, you can take a sterile gauze to pack the gums and apply gentle pressure until the bleeding slows down. After the bleeding has stopped, have your child swish with warm saltwater to sanitize the empty socket. BRUSH AND FLOSS NORMALLY. Ensure that your child continues to brush and floss normally. If the area where the tooth used to be is a bit sensitive for a few days, they can skip that area for the time being as long as they are careful to swish with saltwater to remove any loose food particles or bacteria.
DIRECTIONS
Chia Seed Jam We suggest making the chia seed jam in advance and storing it in the refrigerator so you can quickly assemble these yogurt bowls all week. Using a potato masher, mash down the cherries. Place a small pot on high heat and add the cherries, chia seeds, honey, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn down the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Allow jam to cool before using or refrigerate. Greek Yogurt Bowls In a small serving bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract. Top the Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp cherry chia seed jam, hemp seeds, granola, and a few additional Chelan fresh sweet cherries, if desired.
