PostsI grew up with terrible dental hygiene. I didn’t understand how important it was to take care of my pearly whites. I do now and I floss like a maniac!
ROUTINE
It’s so important to get children into the routine of brushing and flossing their teeth in the morning and at night. Start them off when they’re young and make it part of their day.
FLOSSING
These days flossing doesn’t just have to be a long piece of dental floss. They have flavored floss and fun shaped flossers for kids to use. My brother-in-law with floss his kids teeth as they lay on his lap watching tv. Kids need to know how important it is to get the food out from between their teeth as well! Trident is available in 11 great flavors so kids have lots to choose from!
CUT OUT POP
Pop has a lot of acid and other stuff I don’t understand in it and it will cause tooth decay. Not only that, it will stain their teeth. You can look online to find a list of how bad each pop is in regards to tooth decay. If you are going to drink pop, it’s better to drink it through a straw.
SLEEP WITHOUT BOTTLES
As most people know, it’s important for babies and toddlers not to fall asleep with a bottle in their mouths. The fluid will sit in their mouths and cause tooth decay.
VISIT THE DENTIST
Remember to get regular dental check-ups. Have them visit a dentist twice a year to make sure that they are taking good care of their teeth and gums. A dentist and hygienist can see what we can’t. If there are issues, it’s important to get them taken care of sooner than later. If possible, have their molars sealed!
