Our Pediatric Dentists will coach your children to become members of the cavity free generation.
The KidZdent Hygiene Team will assist these coaches by teaching proper techniques for good oral health care.
Follow these steps to keep your child cavity free:
- VISIT KIDZDENT EVERY 6 MONTHS for a full examination, cleaning and professional fluoride treatment.
- FLUORIDE THERAPY: Children aged 16 and under should take a fluoride supplement as prescribed by their pediatric dentist.
- BRUSH TEETH TWICE DAILY: Children aged 6 and under do not have the dexterity to properly brush their teeth on their own – parents should allow the child to brush, and then go over all surfaces of all teeth themselves to ensure a proper cleaning.
- FLOSS: Children should floss between all teeth at least once per day. Again, children aged 6 and under will need assistance from a parent;
- INFANTS & TODDLERS: Infants and toddlers need to have their teeth cleaned as well. Parents can use an infant toothbrush to clean all teeth that are present in the mouth. Toothpaste containing fluoride is not to be used until a child is old enough to rinse and spit out the toothpaste – just use a wet infant toothbrush, or purchase a fluoride-free infant toothpaste;
- SEAL PERMANENT MOLARS: dental sealants eliminate cavities in the deep groves of permanent molars;
- AVOID SUGARY/ACIDIC DRINKS: sports drinks, energy drinks, soda, iced tea and juice
- WATER should always be the first choice for drinking
- EAT HEALTHY FOODS fruits and vegetables every day
Cavity free kids is what KidZdent is all about!!
