caring for KIds dental health

Your amazing kid's dental health is maintained by amazing habits and a healthy diet. Want to avoid cavities? Brushing twice a day with hydroxyapatite toothpaste, flossing once a day, and limiting sugary snacks and beverages is the way to go!

Guidelines for your kids dental care

• Sealants are protective coatings that bond in the deep grooves of teeth to protect, or seal, against decay.

• Limiting sugary snacks and beverages.

• Brushing twice a day with hydroxyapatite toothpaste, flossing once a day, using fun songs and 'brush tunes' help.

• Only water in sippy cups for "during the night" drinks.

• Hydroxyapatite applications at dental visits can help remineralize teeth and possibly decrease demineralization of teeth.

• Mouth guards should be worn for sports practices and games! The best ones are the ones with a custom fit.

• The best time to have your child evaluated for orthodontic needs is at age 7!

• Xylitol in chewing gum can also help reduce cavities in kids.
