A healthy smile starts early! Teaching your child good dental habits from a young age can prevent cavities, toothache, and long-term dental problems. Begin by brushing their teeth twice a day using a soft-bristle toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Encourage fun brushing activities like using music or apps so your child enjoys the routine.
Limit sugary snacks and juices, as they are the main cause of tooth decay in kids. Replace them with fruits, water, and healthy snacks that help protect their teeth. Don’t forget to schedule regular dental visits every six months—early checkups allow the dentist to detect issues before they become serious.
By making dental care fun and consistent, you help your child develop lifelong healthy habits. Happy teeth truly mean happy kids!
