It’s never too early to introduce your child to a good oral care routine, and it’s as important to have good oral care habits at home as it is to visit the dentist regularly. To prevent cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease, be sure your child brushes their teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste. The team at Smile Wright Dental recommends that in addition to twice-daily brushing, you should follow these guidelines to help minimize your children’s chances of developing oral health problems:
Make sure your child flosses their teeth at least once a day.
Feed your child a healthy, balanced diet with minimal sugary, acidic foods to protect their tooth enamel.
Visit our office twice a year for dental hygiene exams and dental cleanings.
Talk to our staff about optional dental sealants and fluoride treatments to strengthen your child’s teeth and prevent cavities from forming in their molars.
