February marks National Children's Dental Health Month, an important time to encourage good oral care habits in your children. Taking proper care of teeth is a lifelong commitment – one that begins with children and sets them up for success for years to come.

It all starts with the basics: brushing twice a day, flossing regularly, and visiting your dentist for regular checkups. Establishing these habits early on can help prevent cavities, tooth decay, and other dental conditions from taking root. Beyond this basic maintenance, there are other ways adults can help children take responsibility for their own oral health.

At home, it’s important to ensure kids have the right supplies and access to healthy foods and drinks that protect their teeth – like water or sugarless gum or snacks. Nutrition plays a significant role in protecting against tooth decay and promoting healthy smile growth.

Other preventive measures include using appropriate doses of fluoride-containing products and avoiding to***co use. As parents or guardians, it's essential to keep an eye out for signs of orthodontic problems that may require professional attention. Common issues include crooked teeth or crowding issues as well as gaps between teeth due to missing teeth or baby teeth that never fall out on their own.

We’ve included some local resources below to ensure your children’s oral health stays optimal.
