National Children's Dental Health Month





February is National Children’s Dental Health Month and we are here to give you tips and tricks to making sure your child has the healthiest smile, one that will last a lifetime. While it is no secret that a child needs to brush and floss their teeth, Dr. Fuller suggests, “They also need to visit the dentist regularly in order to catch any problems early on.” There is more to having a healthy smile then just brushing and flossing.

This month help your child establish other healthy habits to keep their smile on the up and up. It can take a lifetime to break bad habits, so the earlier you can start, the more likely your child has of implementing habits that will last a lifetime. So, what you can you do to help your child’s smile besides brushing and flossing?

Have them eat healthy foods, ones that have higher water content. During times where your child can’t brush their teeth, having them consume food that has a higher concentration of water will remove food from the teeth in between brushing. The higher water concentration of food also increases saliva. More saliva in the mouth decreases the risk of decay.

This is a special month, to make sure you and your children are focused on their smile. Take time to implement healthy dental habits.
