Home care is essential to a dental health.  These steps below are some easy ways to develop and maintain a healthy mouth

• Brush twice daily using fluoride toothpaste. At bedtime, brushing should be done after all food and drinks are finished for the day.  For children under 6, it is recommended to use no more than a pea sized amount of toothpaste.

• Floss daily in areas where teeth are contacting.  Floss picks are an easy way for parents to help their children floss.

• Children should be seen every 6 months for their dental visits to ensure positive dental health.  The first dental visit for your child is recommended by age 1 or when they first have teeth in their mouths.

• Dental sealants are an effective tool to reduce the likelihood of cavities on molars.  Please ask out dental professionals how these may be utilized for your child.
