Parents can help encourage their children and teach the significance of good oral habits by creating an educational, yet fun, brushing and flossing routine together. Over time, this helps your child take responsibility for their oral hygiene and instilling healthy habits not only helps prevent cavities, but also boosts your child’s self-esteem.
While the festive season often means a large consumption of chocolate, sweets and soft drink, it is important to also remember to care for your child’s baby teeth. While the odd sweet treat will not damage your child’s dental well-being, it is important that your child sees a trained dental professional early in their development to safeguard their dental future.
