Happy New Year! If you're looking to start 2018 off right, how about a New Year's resolution to keep your kids' teeth healthy. It's easier than you think. Here are some tips to help you:
- Brush and floss at the same time each day. People do better when they make healthy choices a habit. Have your kids brush and floss at the same time each day, preferably after meals. This will help them establish the best practice against tooth decay: preventative cleaning.
- Reduce your sugar intake. Resolve to cut back on sugar and feel health benefits for your entire body, including your teeth. Limiting things like juice and candy can go a long way towards this goal.
- Know what to do in case of a dental emergency. We've got a handy list of what to do in case of dental emergencies that should help you in many common situations.
- Schedule dental cleanings twice a year. As your local pediatric dentist in Tucson, we'd much rather clean healthy teeth than perform procedures. Checking your kids' teeth twice a year gives us a chance to give you personalized tips on how to avoid common dental ailments.
