Children's Dental Health Month Tip #10: Help them floss

Start flossing your child's teeth once a day as soon as two teeth emerge that touch.  Most children lack the coordination to brush or floss their teeth on their own until about the age of 6 or 7. Up until this time, remember that the best way to teach a child how to brush their teeth is to lead by example. Allowing your child to watch you brush your teeth teaches the importance of good oral hygiene

    Parents should care the children dental health. Parents should teach the children about the brushing and clean of mouth before and after the meal. If this personal hygiene is poor the children will suffer from different dental problems such as tooth decay, gum diseases, canker sores, oral cancers, and TMJ disorders.

    A good dentist is one of the best things you can ever do for yourself! Having a nice, reliable dentist that can do things like this is really important. Toothaches and unattractive teeth should not be overlooked.
