Allow Our Fuquay Pediatric Dentist to Start Your Kid’s School Year with a Smile

Starting the school year with a smile is easy when you visit your local children’s dentist. They will give your teeth a thorough exam and make sure they are healthy and strong. You may think it is okay to be a little lazier with taking care of baby teeth because your child will lose them, but dental health has to do with more than just teeth. The condition of your teeth and gums can have long-term effects on the health of your entire body.

Brush Your Teeth

You should brush your teeth at least twice a day and preferably after meal times. Make sure to brush all surfaces of your teeth by using an up-and-down, back-and-forth motion. Use a toothbrush that is comfortable and efficient in cleaning your teeth and although not absolutely necessary, an electric toothbrush can be a helpful tool.

Floss

At times, flossing can seem like too much work, but it is just as important as brushing. The floss will reach food particles that your toothbrush couldn’t reach. Flossing at least once a day is a healthy habit and floss with a handle might make the job easier.

Visit Your Dentist

Your Fuquay pediatric dentists will be able to give dental hygiene tips that can keep your smile bright and healthy. Checking for cavities and cleaning your teeth and gums are part of the normal routine of a dental visit. Your local children’s dentist will help you schedule your appointments for every six months or at least once a year.

Make Healthy Food and Beverage Choices

What goes into your body will make a difference in your oral health. Calcium and Vitamin D are important for healthy bones and teeth. Avoiding sugary drinks and excessive candy and sweets will also keep your teeth in tip-top shape. Rinsing with water after meals is another dental hygiene tip that is easy to do.

Give our Fuquay pediatric dentists a call and they will work with you to create a beautiful smile for a successful school year.
