February is Children's Dental Health Month

January 27, 2010
By: Ken Nelson, DDS, Dentistry


Here is a list of helpful tips for parents:

  • Brush at least twice a day - in the morning and just before bed.
  • Spend two minutes brushing - concentrating on the chewing surfaces and back teeth, where cavities often first develop.
  • Use a pea-sized amount of children's toothpaste. Teach your child to spit out any toothpaste left after brushing.
  • Look for a brush that is suitable for your child's age and dexterity.
  • Don't share brushes between children.
  • Brushing your teeth together with your child sets a good example and helps your child to learn by watching and imitating you.
  • It's never too early to schedule your child's first dental check-up. Call your dentist today!

    Look for more information on children's dental health in the coming weeks!
