Encourage healthy dental habits in your child by visiting our office every six months.
By establishing healthy dental hygiene habits at a young age, you can set your child up for a lifetime of strong and beautiful smiles. Here at Smile Cove Pediatric Dental, our skilled dental professionals encourage good dental hygiene routines and provide comprehensive dental services. We understand that your child’s oral health can impact their overall health and quality of life, so we strive to make visiting the dentist a positive experience.
Having poor dental hygiene can include far more side effects than bad breath. Decaying teeth can cause painful cavities, misaligned teeth can make it painful to eat, and broken or damaged teeth can lead your child to become self-conscious about their smile. To keep your child’s teeth healthy, we strongly recommend creating a regular dental hygiene routine at home and scheduling regular cleanings every six months.
Our dentists know it can be difficult to get young children to properly brush their teeth for two full minutes, but there are a few ways to make the process less painful. For example, you can set a positive example by brushing your teeth at the same time your child does or having your child listen to their favorite song during the two-minute brushing routine. Furthermore, we always encourage parents to introduce their young children to a wide variety of healthy whole foods to improve their physical and dental health.
If you want to make sure you’re doing everything you can for your child’s dental hygiene, give us a call to schedule an appointment at our office in Brandon, Florida.
