Hey Y’all,
Although February is a short month, it is jam packed with
holidays and celebrations. Ground Hog Day, Valentine’s Day and President’s Day
you probably knew. But do you know it is
also Children’s Dental Health month? There is nothing sweeter than a baby's smile.
A smile breaks the ice, welcomes you home and says so much about you, so it is important to keep those pearly whites healthy. Some simple ways to help you be sure they are:
1) Brush using a soft toothbrush and a small amount
of an ADA approved toothpaste at least twice a day. Don’t forget to floss daily today. Mommas - brush for your little ones at night
~ encourage them to learn to brush, but really until they are older they just
can’t get them clean enough. Let them
handle the morning and you get them at night (hopefully your nights are a little
less rushed.) You may find an electric toothbrush encourages longer brushing.  |

2) Avoid sugary snacks and drinks between meals.
This means “sports drinks” too. They are extremely acidic and can lead to enamel
erosion and decay. Encourage your
children (and yourself) to sip on water between meals. Sipping all day causes tooth decay.

3)
See your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning
and check-up. Little ones should visit the dentist by age 3 and an orthodontist
by age 7. Orthodontics (braces ) aren’t
for children only. Having your teeth and
jaws aligned can improve your dental health by making it easier to keep your
teeth clean and a having a smile
you are proud of can really boost your self-confidence. Most orthodontists offer complimentary
(FREE) initial exams.
You dental health is
important for your physical health too. I bet you didn’t know gum disease can
complicate
heart issues and diabetes. No insurance?
Check your local community college, many offer reduced fees for routine
checkups if they have an accredited dental program. If your smile isn’t
what you want it to be, ask your dentist or dental hygienist how you can
improve it. Check the links added above for more dental information. Hope these tips can
give you a reason to smile ~ Let me know
if you have any questions.
I will be glad to try to help point you in the right direction.
