Celebrate National Brush Day This Sunday!

Don’t forget - National Brush Day is this Sunday, November 1st! And while your kids may still be going through their trick-or-treat bags, you can make the pledge to help your child brush for two minutes, twice a day, every day to limit the effects of sugar consumption on teeth.

 

We know brushing is the foundation of any good oral health routine, so brushing properly is important. See below for proper brushing techniques you can share with your kids:

• Place the toothbrush at a 45 degree angle along the gum line. Gently move the toothbrush back and forth on each tooth.
• Repeat the process brushing the inside surface of each tooth as well as the top/chewing surface of each tooth.
• Tilt the brush vertically and brush up and down to clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth.
• Once all teeth are cleaned, brush the tongue to remove any odor causing bacteria.

Have fun celebrating! If you have any questions about how to improve your child's oral health please give our offices a call.
