Just Ignore these 6 Healthy Tips

In the Know for You to Know

You can have all the gum or candy you want! For 15 minutes once a month! Have braces? That’s 0 minutes a month!

Brush your teeth in the morning and at night. Be sure to brush for 2 minutes or 120 seconds or 120000 milliseconds. It takes that long to get all the stuff out. And don’t forget to floss every night before you brush. How many minutes, seconds, milliseconds do you think that takes?

If water is good for a shark’s teeth, think what it can do for yours? Choose water when you can. Sharks don’t drink soda or sports drinks, so why should you?

If you don’t want to eat a puck (or a ball) use a mouth guard when you play sports.

If it’s sticky, it gets stucky and that’s so yucky! Stay away from fruity snack rolls, caramels and all chewy, sticky candy. Otherwise that’s the fast track to a cavity.

Two healthy snacks a day keep the fillings away! Limit snacking to twice a day and drink water to wash it down.

More tips? We have lots. We’re here just for kids!

As a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist with over ten years of experience practicing Pediatric Dentistry, I understand that parents and caregivers are in need for information to care for their children's oral health. You may not have your normal lines of communication open or you cannot easily call or visit your child’s Dentist and obtain answers to your questions. Some families may not yet have a Pediatric Dentist to call. My expertise and knowledge can help serve as your source as I provide answers with information that is current, informative and the Gold Standards of Care which are the practice Guidelines approved by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. I want to help you access this important information by answering your questions through this site. You may want to submit your own individual questions or you can view my postings and answers to other families questions that may apply to your child's needs. I am committed to helping you stay informed, after all it is all about your child.
