A Recap of Children’s Dental Health Month

As National Children's Dental Health Month comes to a close, let's recap what we've learned this month. 

Make Tooth-Brusing Fun!

To kick off the month, we recommended a few ways to spice up routine tooth-brushing. Some of our recommendations included getting your children fun toothbrushes, investing in flossers, teaching proper techniques, implementing a reward system, and eating a healthier diet in general. Each of these suggestions, in there own way, can contribute to more frequent, enjoyable tooth-brushing habits.

Avoid the Mouth Monsters.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) warns parents and children about the nasty Mouth Monsters hiding in our mouths. These little monsters include things like plaque, tooth decay, cavities, etc. All of these harmful "monsters" contribute to tooth decay and the breaking down of the tooth enamel in mouths. One of the best ways to counter-act Mouth Monsters is to brush with a fluoride toothpaste. This will surely send those monsters running!

Low-Cost Dental Care IS Available!

Though dental care can be extremely costly, engaging in routine appointments is vital to oral health. The Indiana Dental Association works hard to provide low-cost dental care to families in the Hoosier State. Be sure to look into the many services offered by IDA, and bring excellent, low-cost dental care to your family.

Fluoridated Water Systems

We've spent the month explaining the purpose of fluoride and the several ways it benefits dental health. Since it remineralizes the tooth enamel, it is essential to find daily sources of fluoride. The best way to achieve this is by making sure your community has a fluoridated water system. Find out some interesting statistics on your state's water fluoridation.

 

We've enjoyed sharing facts, stories, and suggestions with you throughout the month to enhance tooth-brushing techniques for your family. Be sure to let us know if you've implemented anything you've learned. You can reach out to us on our Facebook page!
