Four dental hygiene tips for kids by Newington CT 06111 Dentist

Getting kids interested in the mundane task of  regular brushing is the key  to developing life-long healthy dental routines. You can start with setting an example by taking good care of your own teeth. This sends a message that oral health is something important. Brushing along with the kids and letting them choose fun toothbrushes will make taking care of their teeth a daily routine they look forward to.  

Teach kids these simple steps to protect their teeth and gums and  prevent cavities:

• Brushing twice a day with a fluoride tooth paste. This helps remove plaque – the sticky film on teeth which is the main cause of tooth decay.
• Flossing daily will remove plaque between the teeth.
• Limiting starchy or sugary food and eating a well-balanced diet will regulate plaque acids that are the main cause of tooth decay.
• Use fluoride toothpastes.
