Focusing on your children’s oral health routine is of the utmost importance. Not only will it rid their mouths of harmful bacteria that eventually lead to cavities, but it will also form healthy habits that improve the longevity of their smile. A good oral health routine consists of brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and rinsing between meals.
Children need guidance until they develop the motor skills needed to carry out their routine on their own. Other ways you can prevent cavities include:
Use oral care products that contain fluoride
Avoid frequent snacking
Avoid acidic and sugary foods
Consider dental sealants
Eat tooth-healthy foods
In addition to the above tips, you’ll want to visit our Auburn dental office for biannual checkups and professional cleanings. During these visits, we’ll remove any plaque and tartar to leave your child’s smile healthy and feeling good.
