Children's Dental Health Month


February is National Children's Dental Health Month.

Here area few tips to remember about your chldren's teeth

1) Brush and floss twice a day 

If your child is under age 8, you should be asssting the child in this.
Infants should be using a very small amount of a non fluoridated children's toothpaste. At about age 2 you can use a fluoridated toothpase with a RICE sized amount of paste on the brush.when a child is able to spt, you can go to a PEA sized amount of toothpaste.


2) Watch the intakeof sweets especially between meals.

3) Never put a baby down witha bottle of liquid other than water.

4) Encourage children to develop other security methods than finger sucking and pacifiers when possible.

These objects in themouth for long periods of time will alter thes hape of the mouth considerably leading to malocclusions whtich can be very hard to correct.

5) As soon as the first tooth arrives, begin taking the child to the dentist to help cement a positive relationship and encourage proper nutrition and hygiene habits.


6) Children should see the dentist twice a year.

  3. Informative blog and we have to understand that just doing brush is not enough for us. Sometimes we have to use some other things like activated charcoal teeth whitening that is very benefits for our teeth even tho there's a tooth paste available too that is also use for kids and for every age of people.

  6. It is not the ill that is problem. But it is the burden of the bill that makes distance between the dentists and the patients. That is the reason why most people want to avoid their dental problem without going to dentists. To solve this problem and to ensure dental health, nowadays dental discount plans MD are adopted by most of the citizens.
