Help Your Children Keep Their Oral Health Goals



If you helped your children make a New Year’s resolution this year to improve their oral hygiene there is no reason to quit now. Here are 4 ways to help your children reach this important goal.

1.     Make it simple.
a.     Keep their toothbrush in the same location and keep toothpaste they love right next to the toothbrush.
b.     Have them brush at the same time everyday.
2.     Schedule their routine dental appointments ahead of time.
a.     Don’t let this slip through the cracks; schedule their next appointment when you are in the office. This way it is on the calendar and does not get forgotten.
3.     Provide healthy snacks in their lunch and around the house.
a.     The foods they eat matter says Dr. Cameron Fuller and his team. Leave healthy snacks on the counter or in single serving containers accessible in the fridge.
b.     Don’t leave the foods high in carbohydrates easily accessible.
4.     By the floss they love.
a.     Flossing is critical to keeping their goal. Purchasing floss that is easy for them to use can help to encourage your children to floss. Flossers or minty fresh floss can also be a motivator.
