September is National Gum Care Month, and it’s the perfect reminder that taking care of your child’s smile means taking care of their gums, too! 🦷💙
If your child is learning to floss, teach them to "hug the tooth." Instead of quickly moving the floss up and down, gently curve it into a C-shape around each tooth to clean along the sides.
And if flossing right before bed always turns into a struggle? Change the timing! Try flossing after dinner or before bath time, then brush as usual before bed. 🛁🪥
The goal isn’t a perfect bedtime routine, it’s building a healthy habit your family can stick with.
Need help with your child’s brushing or flossing routine? Ask us at their next Tooth Patrol visit. We’re always happy to share kid-friendly tips!
