In the Know for You to Know
Every February we celebrate Children’s Dental Health Month. We like to celebrate children’s oral health every month but February historically holds a special place in our hearts.
Healthy habits start early and grow as your child grows. Whether your child is a newborn, 6 months old, 6 years old, or 16 years old healthy teeth and gums are important for a healthy smile and a healthy life.
With a consistent home care routine, a balanced diet, injury prevention, and regular dental visits your child’s teeth can be healthy, strong, beautiful and last their whole lifetime.
Keep Those Little Smiles In Your Life Healthy And Happy From The Start!
Cavities are the most common chronic disease among children across all age groups. From infant to college, cavities are 4x’s more common than Asthma.
They are also the most common preventable chronic disease among children of all ages.
Did you know that cavities can form even before a tooth is fully in the mouth?
Happy Healthy Teeth Come Out On Top – What You Can Do At Home
From their 1st tooth, brush your child’s teeth 2x/day with fluoride toothpaste every day. Teeth not in yet? No worries, use a wash cloth to wipe their gum pads and tongue after each feeding.
Teeth touching? Clean between your child’s teeth nightly with dental floss.
To snack and what to snack on? Eat healthy foods and be selective about sugary and starchy (aka high carb) foods and beverages. Yes that includes chips.
Children’s teeth are meant to last a lifetime. And a healthy smile is a happy and confident child.
