It’s National Dental Hygiene Month! Healthy smiles start with the little things kids do every day. Encourage brushing twice a day and flossing daily to help your child build habits they can carry with them as they grow!

Breakfast first, then it’s time to brush! The AAPD recommends brushing after breakfast and before bed as part of your child’s daily routine. If breakfast includes something acidic, like citrus fruit or orange juice, avoid brushing right away and give their saliva a little time to help protect the enamel. Then, brush with fluoride toothpaste, and they’ll be ready to start the day with a clean, healthy smile!

Saliva does a lot more than keep your child’s mouth from feeling dry! It helps wash away food, neutralize acids, and protect teeth throughout the day. Drinking plenty of water is one simple way to help support normal saliva production and a healthy mouth!

It’s not only what kids snack on that matters. How often they snack can make a difference, too! Each time your child eats foods containing carbohydrates or sugar, bacteria in the mouth can produce acids that affect tooth enamel. Giving their smile breaks between meals and snacks, rather than grazing throughout the day, gives saliva time to do its job and help protect their teeth!

Does your child’s toothbrush look worn out long before it’s time for a new one? Frayed or flattened bristles can sometimes be a sign that they’re brushing with more pressure than they need. A gentle touch with a soft-bristled toothbrush is enough to clean those little teeth! Show your child how to use small, gentle motions so their toothbrush and their smile get a little extra TLC.

Happy Positive Thinking Day! A little encouragement can make a big difference when it comes to dental visits. Talking positively about the dentist, celebrating your child’s bravery, and reminding them that our team is here to help can make new experiences feel less intimidating. Every visit is another opportunity to build confidence and create a positive relationship with taking care of their smile!

Busy evenings can make bedtime feel like a race, but don’t let brushing get left behind! Whether it’s homework, activities, or a later night than usual, keeping those two minutes of brushing in the routine helps clear away the plaque and food that have collected throughout the day. Pajamas, brushing, bedtime, and done!
