Year Round Tips for Healthy Smiles



National Children’s Dental Health Month is coming to a close, but it’s not too late to save your children’s teeth - or your own! Establishing an oral health routine is not only important now, but for your child’s teeth year round.

So while this month was dedicated to raising awareness, continue to use the below tips to reduce your child’s risk of tooth decay:
  • Limit between-meal snacks, should your child want something offer them nutritious options
  • Purchase sugarless gum! Chewing sugarless gum after eating can increase saliva flow and help wash out food and decay-producing acid
  • Monitor beverage consumption, offer your child water rather than soft drinks
  • Encourage your children to brush and floss twice a day
  • Schedule regular dental visits with us!
