Brushing Your Child's Tongue

When you think of brushing your child's teeth, you may only be thinking of those pearly whites.  While it is important to brush your child's teeth at least two times a day, it's also important to brush your child's tongue.

What's so important about brushing your tongue?  Just like your teeth, your tongue can hold bacteria in its bumps and ridges.  Bacteria on your tongue can lead to bad breath.  So brushing your child's tongue helps keep these nasty agents from affecting the teeth, leading to overall better oral health.

As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to help you understand all aspects of your child's dental care.  Feel free to call us at (520) 544-8522.
