When good habits are developed early on it is more likely that the child will able to look forward to a lifetime of health teeth gums. Here are 5 healthy tips to keep in mind for children’s dental health.
Brush and floss: Brushing and flossing is essential all that all ages, but good habits start early. Your child should be brushing twice a day to remove plaque, bacteria and food particles in their mouth. Also flossing two a day to remove anything left behind after brushing.
Visit the dentist regularly: Visiting the dentist every 6 months, twice a year is important. Even if your child is under orthodontic treatment and make all scheduled appointments with our Doctors here at Rhode Island Orthodontic Group and be sure that you are visiting the dentist they check for your cavities and make sure teeth are healthy.Drink water: Make sure that your children's drinking water is fluoridated, fluoride is a natural mineral found in water and Earth's crust. Helps prevent cavities by hardening the enamel.
Eat well balanced meals: Eat a well-balanced diet that limits starchy or sugary foods, which produce plaque acids that cause tooth decay.
Early intervention: The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. At this early age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but vigilant examination can anticipate the most advantageous time to begin treatment.
At Rhode Island Orthodontic Group we are constantly promoting healthy teeth and habits for all of our patients, especially our younger patients. We strive to provide the best care for your child and help create good habits. Please visit ADA.org National Children’s Dental Health Month For more information.

ReplyDeleteProper take good care of your veneers - Sweep them thoroughly each day and wash them following every food. A soft-bristled, denture-specific brush and a soothing platter better are recommended-regular tooth brushes and tooth paste are too severe. tips on oral hyginene
ReplyDeleteThese are just so amazing tips. I completely agree that we should help the kids develop good dental care habits in our kids. Moreover, one should start taking the kids to the dentist for periodically for the checkups. I am very much concerned about my family’s dental health and we all visit our family dentist Torrance thrice a year.
