Kidz Connextion provides a variety of pediatric services and we encourage parents to teach their children proper oral care at a young age. Teaching your child proper oral care at a young age is an investment in his or her health that will pay lifelong benefits. Helping your child to understand the importance of oral hygiene can make them realize why their dental care is so important and allows them to take an active role in caring for their teeth.
First, you can start by setting an example; taking good care of your own teeth sends a message that oral health is something to be valued. You can even use fun activities to make brushing, flossing and visiting the dentist appealing. Brushing time is better when it feels like playtime. One of the easiest activities to do with your child involves construction paper. Using yellow construction paper cut out several large tooth shapes. Show the shapes to your child and talk about how teeth can become yellow if they do not brush them. In order to prevent dental problems, your child should see a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears or no later than his or her first birthday.
