Tips for children to maintain great oral health for a lifetime include:

• Schedule dental checkups regularly – As recommended by the American Dental Association, your child’s first exam should occur no later than their first birthday, and afterward should visit at least twice a year. By ensuring that your child attends constant appointments with their dentist, you can verify that things are progressing normally and they are on the right track to outstanding oral health.
• Help ingrain trust in dentists – It is crucial to teach your child early on about the importance of oral health. Enforce the fact that their dentists are caregivers who are looking out for their teeth and ultimately their wellbeing, as opposed to scary mouth doctors who wish to inflict pain for no apparent reason. One tip to avoid instilling fear in your child is to avoid speaking about any negative encounters or dentophobia you may have experienced, in addition to avoiding vocabulary such as “painful” and “dentist drill.”
• Promote proper nutrition – As does any part of your body, your oral health requires healthy eating habits. With an abundance of child-targeted foods and snacks containing sugar, children are highly susceptible to getting cavities. Refrain from giving your child sugary snacks and beverages and instead choose healthier alternatives such as low-sugar fruits, vegetables, and drinking water more regularly.
