February is National Children's Dental Health Month. What are you doing to celebrate? Here are a few things that you can do to get the child in your life a healthier smile.
Re-Establish Good Dental Habits.
Are the children in your life brushing their teeth after every meal and flossing at least once a day? There are ways to encourage this behavior! There are mobile floss sticks that you can pack in your child's lunch box right beside the (oatmeal) cookies. Many children have also stated that flossing is much easier with the newer flavored floss that has recently hit the market. Celebrate National Children's Dental Health Month by buying your child a pack of the good stuff!
Find Healthier Snacks.
A huge problem with children is eating sugary snacks and sodas. However, there are better alternatives! Completely organic fruit based snacks give children the same rush of carbohydrates and sweet flavor without all of the processed sugar. You can also encourage your children to drink soda and fruit juice through a straw to keep the sugars from wearing down their back teeth!
Schedule an Appointment with a Dental Professional.
The number one way to celebrate National Children's Dental Health Month is to solidify the relationship between your dentist and your child. Many children have a fear of the dentist for no reason at all, and this is the perfect month to get rid of that fear! We love creating happy smiles for years to come around Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas. Take a look at our website to see why everyone loves Young and Polite Children's Dentistry.
Use the excitement of this month to establish the lines of communication between your child and your dentist. The result is a healthier mouth for life! Let's celebrate healthy smiles together at Young and Polite Children's Dentistry located in Waxhaw, South Tryon and Mint Hill.
