When kids take good care of their teeth, they grow up healthy and strong.  A healthy smile means a pain-free mouth and lower dental costs for your family.  Here are a few ways you can promote good oral health habits in your home.

Healthy Habits:

• Help Them Brush – Help brush your child’s teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day.  They may want to brush their own teeth, but they need help until their hand skills are better.
• Be a Role Model – Brush your teeth twice a day and floss regularly to set a good example for your kids.
• Eat Healthy – Serving your kids healthy meals and snacks like fruits, vegetables, low-fat milk and whole grain products helps keep teeth healthy. 
• Dental Check Ups – Don’t forget to bring your child to the dentist for bi-annual cleanings and exams!
