🪥Should your child be using a manual toothbrush or an electric toothbrush?

Here's our take:

Electric toothbrushes are great tools to support good dental health since they can remove plaque better than a manual toothbrush.

There is a reason that electric toothbrushes are designed like the tools we use in the dental clinic. They work!

However, we recommend waiting until your child is 3 years old to regularly use an electric toothbrush with the supervision of an adult.⁠

Electric toothbrushes are also fun to use and can help kids enjoy brushing their teeth!⁠

You can even make tooth brushing a fun family moment until your child is capable of brushing independently.

Are you team 'manual' or 'electric' toothbrush?⁠

Traditional braces are a great orthodontic option for many children, but it does require some changes to their eating habits.

With a little extra care and intention, your child can still enjoy many foods as usual.

If you have any questions about what your child should avoid while wearing braces, ask us at your next visit!

Invisalign can be a good option to consider for your child's orthodontic care, depending on the overall adjustment needed.

The obvious benefits include:

🦷Invisalign aligners are less obvious as they're clear and more comfortable.

🦷The process can be more gentle for your child.

🦷Since they're removable, it's easier to maintain oral hygiene and for eating.

Curious if Invisalign is the orthodontic route for your child?

Snoring might seem normal for kids, but in some cases, it can be connected to sleep-disordered breathing. This can influence things like energy, focus, and healthy growth.

At Rivers Edge, we gently screen for airway concerns during your child’s dental and orthodontic assessments—because their overall well-being matters just as much as their smile.

Curious if your child could benefit from a sleep and airway check? Let’s chat.
