When children develop
good smile care habits they can protect their teeth from damaging plaque. Great oral health care is the best way to
keep their teeth beautiful and healthy. Here
are a few simple ways to fight plaque.
Tooth Tips:
- Flossing – Did you know that most cavities actually occur in between your teeth? Don’t forget to floss!
- Fluoride – We offer fluoride treatments at our office that make teeth stronger and more resistant to decay.
- Xylitol – Although similar to sugar, xylitol is actually good for your teeth! This artificial sweetener is found in many chewing gums. It helps protect your teeth by keeping bacteria in your mouth from sticking to your teeth.
- Water – Drink lots of water! This is a great way to wash away food and bacteria.
- Sealants – Sealants fill the small groves in the biting surface of your child’s molars. By covering up the grooves, we can limit hard-to-reach places and prevent tooth decay.
