For Kids There is nothing more beautiful than a child's smile. Good oral health is not difficult, but it takes both child and parent to make it happen. Good oral health should begin in infancy. Reducing sugar in the diet, careful brushing and regular dental care can greatly reduce the risk of cavities.
Tooth decay is the major cause of tooth loss in children.
Parents need to instruct, monitor and motivate the child on good oral hygiene. Schedule your child s first trip to the dentist by the time he or she is one year old. Use a child size toothbrush with soft bristles. If the child swallows the toothpaste this small amount should not hurt him Once all primary teeth are in, begin flossing your child s teeth. When the child is ready, teach him or her to floss before brushing.
