Healthy smile habits between visits
Checkups every six months are only part of the story. These everyday habits, recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, make the biggest difference at home:
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste: a smear the size of a grain of rice for children under 3, and a pea-sized amount for ages 3 to 6.
- Help with brushing until your child can do a thorough job alone, often around age 7 or 8.
- Floss once a day as soon as two teeth touch.
- Choose water between meals and save juice and sweets for mealtimes.
- Skip bottles in bed with milk or juice, which can lead to early childhood cavities.

Citrus Heights (Madison Ave) Medi-Cal dentist FAQs
Does Kids Dentist Plus Citrus Heights (Madison Ave) accept Medi-Cal?
Yes. Our Citrus Heights (Madison Ave) office sees children and teens with Medi-Cal. Call (916) 226-6767 and we'll confirm your child's coverage.
How much toothpaste should my child use?
A smear the size of a grain of rice for children under 3, and a pea-sized amount for children ages 3 to 6.
When should my child start flossing?
As soon as two teeth touch. Most children need a parent's help with flossing until they have the coordination to do it well.
Is juice bad for my child's teeth?
Juice and other sweet drinks can cause cavities, especially when sipped throughout the day. Water is the best choice between meals.
Does my child's Medi-Cal dental plan change what's covered?
Usually not. Children's dental benefits are generally the same in every Sacramento County Medi-Cal dental plan. Call with your child's plan name and member ID, and we'll confirm coverage.
What's the difference between Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal Dental?
Only the name. Medi-Cal Dental, once known as Denti-Cal, is the dental side of Medi-Cal. SmileCalifornia.org explains children's benefits, and before your child's appointment, we'll confirm coverage.
