Children’s Dental Health Month
During February, we celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month. As a parent, you play a significant role in keeping your child’s teeth healthy and clean. You can help prevent cavities, good eating habits, and daily cleaning of their teeth.
Make sure to follow these tips for healthy smiles year-round!
- Brush for 2 minutes 2 times a day
- Use fluoridated toothpaste
- Floss before bed
- Drink fluoridated water
- Eat a balanced diet
Your children’s teeth are essential, and we want to help your child’s teeth stay clean, happy, and healthy with these tips. The most common chronic childhood disease is tooth decay – cavities. The first dental visit should be when your child gets their first tooth or turn 1. Whichever comes first. A toothbrush routine should be introduced even before the first tooth erupts—for example, a silicone teething brush or finger brush.
Starting good dental habits at a young age, including regular dental visits, helps children begin a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. We can help your child achieve good oral care habits and a healthy smile.
