Oral Health Tips for Children
Maintaining your child’s oral health is a team effort. Here are some tips to help keep your child’s teeth healthy:
Daily Brushing and Flossing
Encourage your child to brush their teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Flossing daily helps remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach.
Balanced Diet
A healthy diet plays a significant role in dental health. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and encourage foods rich in calcium and vitamins to support strong teeth and bones.
Regular Dental Visits
Schedule regular dental check-ups every six months. Early detection and treatment of dental issues can prevent more serious problems down the line.
Protective Gear
If your child plays sports, make sure they wear a mouthguard to protect their teeth from injury.
