Spring break is here and everyone is so excited including
everyone at Young and Polite Children’s Dentistry. While this is a time for
many to vacation, relax and enjoy the great weather in Charlotte, NC it is also
a time to keep up with your child’s oral hygiene routine.
Hopefully your little one is brushing twice a day. If not, now
is the perfect time to start! Brushing morning and night helps reduce the risk
of cavities as a result of proper plaque removal. Plaque is pretty nasty. It contains debris from food particles,
bacteria, and other things. While we may be so busy during our vacation time don’t
become too busy to forget to remind your child to continue those super
important brushing habits. It happens from time to time, we forget to remind
them. If you are assisting your child in
brushing if they are under the age of 8, please continue this habit that
establishes oral hygiene routines for the rest of your child’s life.
Did you know that plaque left on the teeth for more than 48hrs speeds up the
process of tooth decay also known as cavities? Help your little one with
brushing during those vacation days. If you unpack the suitcase and notice the toothbrush
didn’t get packed, stop by your local store and purchase a new one.
Toothbrushes are fairly inexpensive and we always provide your child with the
proper size toothbrush at the completion of their oral hygiene visit at any one
of our three locations here at Young and Polite Children’s Dentistry.
If your child is in
need of an oral hygiene visit commonly referred to as a dental cleaning, please
call one of our locations at 980-245-3451, and one of our professional team members will gladly assist you. We are
conveniently located in Waxhaw, Mint Hill & S.Tryon. Remember to brush,
brush, brush, and enjoy your spring break.
