Benjamin Franklin once said that it’s easier to prevent bad habits than it is to break them. That certainly holds true when it comes to dental health. At Jefferson City Dental Care, we believe teaching children good oral hygiene early will last a lifetime.
If you wait too long to teach your child how to brush and floss properly, or if you don’t make sure they are doing it enough, you’re setting yourself up for a lot of work down the road.
It’s very hard to convince an older child that they should be spending two or three times longer brushing their teeth each morning and night. But, if they’ve done it for as long as they can remember, then their habits should be sufficient to avoid excessive dental decay or the need for children’s cosmetic dentistry in Jefferson City.
Remember that tooth decay is the most common disease in children between the ages of six and nineteen. Remember that it is also preventable. There may be no better motivation to teach your children to brush and floss their teeth twice a day.
Furthermore, oral health is linked to overall health. Making sure that your child has proper dental education, and follows through with a good, daily oral hygiene routine, will help them to stay healthy throughout their lives.
