All parents should be willing to provide the best oral hygiene for their kids! Here are some basic tips to help you do so: 1) Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste and make sure your child spits it out after brushing. 2) Be sure your child brushes for at least 2 minutes twice a day. 3) Start flossing as soon as teeth touch, or even earlier to help build good habits.

Children with poor oral health status are nearly 3 times more likely to miss school because of dental pain.

What are dental implants? Dental implants are used to support false teeth. You must have healthy gums and bone (under your teeth) to support the implant. Your dentist (or oral surgeon) will put a small metal post into your jawbone. Over time, the post will bond with the bone around it. The post (or implant) will act like an anchor to hold one or more false teeth in place. -PRO-TIP: Because the implant sticks to bone, it can be treated more like a natural tooth. But it is NOT... as strong as a natural tooth. You must brush and floss the implant very carefully. Be gentle, but make sure you brush all sides of the implant. At least once a day, floss very carefully. . . . . . . . #familydentistON #vaughandentaloffice #woodbridgedental #woodridgeprediatricdental #kidfriendlydental #vellorewoodsdental #vaughanorthodontics #sedationdental #endodonticspecialty #wisdomteethremoval #dentalimplants
