The Ultimate Guide to Helping Children Have Healthy Teeth

We are in business to make sure that children possess the happiest, and one of the healthiest smiles around!

The Ultimate Guide to Helping Children Have Healthy Teeth

For more than two decades now, we have been offering our clients with some of the best tricks, tips, and products recommendations for their children.

Are you worried that your children may not have the best smiles around? Don’t worry! Meet Jenny Silverstone, chief editor at Mom Loves Best. Jenny is a local mom, here in Stafford, VA letting you know why your child’s dental health is important, what you can expect to see as far as dental development at various ages, and tips to keep those chompers clean!

In Mom Loves Best’s recent blog post, she gives you the Ultimate Guide to Helping Children Have Healthy Teeth & effective ways that you can help your kids protect these important pearly whites. A few examples in her infographic include:

Wipe the Kid’s Gum

So, how do you go about ensuring that your child has healthy teeth?  First, it is important to begin oral hygiene way early by wiping the baby’s gums even before the appearance of the first teeth.

Avoid cases of liquid pooling in your kid’s mouth

There is an acid-producing type of bacteria work on breaking simple sugars that include lactose, table sugar, and fructose, and if liquids pool in the kid’s mouth for several hours, it can go ahead to coat your kid’s teeth, an aspect that will lead to tooth decay.

Flossing

As soon as teeth appear, you need to master your child’s teeth well. Soon as your child’s teeth touch, it is vital to begin flossing to prevent tooth decay. This is followed by ensuring that you use toothpaste the size of a grain of rice for kids below three years, and the size of a pea after there.

Again, avoid pacifiers as your children’s teeth continue growing so that the teeth stay in place. Keep sugary foods away, and make oral care fun for them and finally, make sure that you take your kids for regular dental checkups.

If your children have well-maintained teeth that are clean and attractive, then their confidence and self-esteem will be high!  Contact us if you need dental health checkups for your children.
