Help Your Children Stay Cavity Free
Kids can sometimes see teeth brushing as a chore and may not do it on a regular basis. Although it can sometimes be a hassle, the dentists at RGV smiles want to help your children stay cavity free, but it is also important that parents do their part by maintaining good oral health habits at home.
To set up your child’s appointment with RGV smiles, call 956-661-0900.
Fun brushing tips
The key to getting your children to brush their teeth is to make it fun. There are several tips you can follow to make teeth brushing enjoyable for children:
- Brush to music. A song usually last between two and three minutes. This is the ideal amount of time to effectively clean your teeth and brushing to the rhythm will make it more fun.
- Use different flavored toothpaste. Kid’s toothpaste comes in a variety of flavors. Let your child pick their favorite.
- Make your bathroom kid friendly. Keep everything they need to brush their teeth accessible. Place a small stool in front of the sink so they can reach everything easily.
- Brush your teeth with your child. Kids learn best by watching. If you properly brush your teeth, they will more than likely do the same.
Parents are ultimately responsible for teaching their children about oral health habits and the dentists at RGV smiles will help you to keep your child smiling and cavity free.
