As the new school year approaches, it's a great time to reinforce good dental hygiene habits to ensure your child's smile stays healthy. Establishing a consistent routine is key. Encourage them to brush their teeth twice a day for two minutes each time, using a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush. Supervise brushing for younger children to ensure they're doing it correctly and not swallowing the toothpaste. Flossing should also be introduced as soon as their teeth touch, typically around ages 6-8, to remove food particles and plaque that brushing can miss. Packing a healthy, tooth-friendly lunch is another great tip; opt for fruits, vegetables, and cheeses over sugary snacks and drinks that contribute to cavities. Finally, schedule a back-to-school dental check-up with a pediatric dentist to catch any potential issues early and ensure their teeth and gums are in top condition for a successful year of learning and smiling.
