Dental for kids, My son has two cavities
My son when in for his check up and cleaning and the dentist found two small cavities. I do not understand why he should be getting cavities. I have him brush his teeth after breakfast and before bed time.
The teeth in question are lucky baby teeth. However I do not want him to get any more cavities but I am not sure what it is he is not doing. The only thing he may not be doing enough of is flossing but I do tell him to floss before going to bed too. Any advise on what I should do to get him into better brushing and flossing habits now so that he will not continue to have cavities in the future.

Sometime kids will just get cavities even with the best oral hygiene habits. I am guessing your son is not a baby so that he know how to brush is teeth on his own.
It is important to floss daily so unless you watch him do this it would be hard to know if he is or not. Talk to your dentist and see if he thinks getting dental sealants on his baby teeth would be a good idea.
