Dental Insurance Kids – Teach Your Kids Good Dental Habits
Teaching your child or children good at-home dental care habits is easy. You may have heard the saying, “Monkey see, Monkey do.” When teaching your kids dental care habits, it is a case where leading by example is good advice.
Heed the hygienist’s or dentist’s advice by brushing frequently (in the morning, at night, and after meals), flossing daily, and putting a cap on sugary drinks and snacks.
Doing so will help instill the same tooth-friendly habits in your kids. With infants, clean your baby’s teeth with a soft cloth or gauze pad as soon as they start to come in; you can switch to a soft toothbrush when more teeth emerge.
