While we wrap up National Children’s Dental Health Month, we’d like to leave you with a few tips to maintain your child’s dental health at home.
1. Start brushing with the first tooth. Begin brushing your baby’s teeth when you see one coming in with an infant toothbrush.
2. Once your child’s teeth touch, you can start flossing in between them.
3. Snack healthy! Fruit juice, sports drinks, fruit snacks, and sticky candies all pose serious threats to your child’s teeth.
4. Keep them hydrated! Water helps to rinse away any sugar or particles that can lead to cavities.
5. Replace your child’s toothbrush every three to four months.
These at-home tips are very important to your child’s dental health. Pair these with routine check-ups to ensure a healthy mouth for your child.
