How To Keep Children’s Teeth Healthy

Dental Health for Children’s

Dental health is important at every stage of life and should begin in childhood. As a parent, it’s not always easy to find ways to keep your child’s teeth healthy, especially if he or she is uncooperative with dental care. Here are some important dental tips for kids that will help you keep your teeth healthy.

Introduce Dental Care Early Dental care starts even before all teeth come in. While children are teething, you can offer safe toys that will help alleviate pain. This will help your child get used to dental care and ensure that their incoming teeth are growing safely.

No Bedtime Bottles Bottles at bedtime can be tempting to give, as they help many kids fall asleep. Don’t allow your child to get into this habit, and never let a child sleep with a bottle that has milk or juice in it.

Make Brushing Enjoyable Healthy teeth for kids starts with good brushing habits, but it’s no secret that most kids don’t love brushing and flossing.

Instead of making it feel like a punishment, make it fun for your kids.

Dental Tips for Kids to Make Brushing More Fun

• Let your child pick out a toothbrush they like.

• Find a toothpaste flavor they enjoy.

• Have a dedicated toothbrush song or video you play during that time.

• Brush together.

• Keep track of brushing and create a small rewards system.
