Oral Hygiene Habits to Ensure Healthy Teeth for Your Children

Protecting your child’s gums and teeth can be quite a daunting task for every parent. But with regular practice and encouragement, your child will enjoy the benefits of good dental health. Some of the habits that can be beneficial are:
  • Always follow the age-old rule of brushing twice every day. Brushing in the morning and night helps in preventing cavities and tooth decay.
  • Flossing is very important after brushing as it removes the plaque between the teeth and gums.
  • Reduce the intake of sugary foods and ensure well-balanced meals for your child. Fruits, vegetables and grains strengthen the body and prevent tooth decay and gum related diseases.
  • Drink water frequently and rinse your mouth after every meal. This prevents bacterial build-up and cavity formation.
  • Practice the regular use of fluoride-based toothpaste and mouthwash. This will protect your child’s enamel and overall oral health.
  • Timely visits to the dentist help identify oral problems in the beginning stages. Treatments and restoration of dental hygiene are possible when identified early.

Professional Dental Clinic for Pediatric Care in Edmonton

Kids undergo different stages of dental development until their adolescent years. As parents, you must be aware of the appearance of the primary teeth and the permanent teeth in your child’s mouth. The period between the falling of the baby teeth and the growing of adult teeth is always perplexing for children. It is also a time when oral hygiene must be maintained to avoid damage to the permanent teeth. Pediatric care professionals handle the teeth formation and growth pattern in children 18 years and under.

Another common problem in growing children is the presence of tooth decay. The sugar left in the mouth after consuming sugary food and drinks turns into acid, causing teeth to break down. With routine checks and visits to your pediatric dental care provider, you can ensure the prevention of tooth decay and cavity or plaque formation.
