Healthy Habits Build Strong Teeth

Life-long brushing habits start in the home!

Establishing a positive oral care routine prevents decay and helps your child more easily accept help with brushing once the first tooth appears. Be persistent. With young children, it is important to supervise and teach them the proper way to brush. Brushing twice a day keeps the sugar bugs away!

Routine visits to your closest Dentistry for Children location every six months is an important piece of your child’s overall health. During your child’s regular dental exam, we will check for any issues in the mouth, including cavities, tooth decay or damage, and gum disease. After the exam, we’ll clean, polish, and rinse the teeth for a sparkling smile!

Good snack foods offer more than great thoughts! Whole, natural foods—filled with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals — not only help your children grow smart, strong, tall, and beautiful, they support healthy teeth and gums too. Encouraging your kids to choose the good stuff will prevent cavities and unwanted dental trips for expensive fillings.
