A child’s smile is magical. If you have children, then chances are that you would like for them to be able to enjoy a lifetime of bright and healthy smiles. To set them on the right path, you must begin the process of good dental care early in their lives, and ensure that they learn early the tenets of maintaining a clean mouth. Your Fresno dentists, Drs. Alex and Claudia Denes, can help you teach your children the proper way to care for their smiles and offer a few services to increase their cavity-fighting power.
Defeating the Oral Health Monsters
While today’s dentistry offers a wide variety of solutions to treat virtually any form of dental disease, teaching your children about dental care should be a focus on preventing these issues from occurring in the first place. Be sure they that they understand the importance of brushing and flossing their teeth at least twice a day. You can make the lessons more interesting by describing their oral hygiene routine as a battle against the many monsters that can threaten their oral health . Technically bacteria, these monsters form dental plaque to stick to teeth and gums as they attack. With toothbrush and floss in hand, your children can defeat the monsters in their mouth so that their smiles can live happily ever after.
A Helping Hand in Fresno
A vital tenet of dental hygiene that you must instill in your children is the importance of attending regularly scheduled dental checkups and cleanings. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you bring your child in for an initial dental after the first tooth erupts, or at least the first birthday. If your child is at an increased risk for tooth decay, ask Dr. Denes about preventive dental measures such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments.
