Brushing and flossing may not be your child’s favorite activities, but they are two important practices that they should stick to in order to avoid dental problems. Kids, like adults, can avoid problems with tooth decay and gum disease when they maintain good oral hygiene habits. Unfortunately, kids differ from adults in an important way – to put it simply, they know less about why oral care matters. Parents can help them learn why preventive dental care is important at the same time they offer instructions on good brushing and flossing practices. Your Temecula, CA dentist’s office can also help kids learn to care for their teeth by offering them guidance and instructions as well as information on the benefits of a healthy smile. (more…)
