Dental Tips for Both Adults and Childrento Follow
2
Good dental health is a major part of overall
good physical health, and childhood is the best
time to learn the best dental habits and
techniques.
3
Children and adults can both benefit from some
core best practices for a lifetime of excellent
dental health, and family dentists are often the
best teachers of those practices.
4
All aspects of good health begin with a proper
diet.
5
A clean diet of whole, natural foods will provide
the necessary nutrients for strong teeth, a
healthy body, and overall positive well-being.
6
Carrots, apples, and other hard crunchy foods
clean teeth naturally many vegetables are high
in calcium and other essential minerals -
7
- and the additional chewing necessary to process
natural unprocessed foods stimulates the gums and
strengthens the teeth.
8
Digestion begins in the mouth, and the bacteria
present in the mouth can convert sugars and
carbohydrates to acids which then attacktooth
enamel.
9
One should eat highly acidic foods such as
tomatoes or citrus along with other more neutral
foods and plenty of liquids to dilute the acidic
effect.
10
Foods such as dairy products, meats, nuts, and
green leafy vegetables restore minerals to teeth
after acid exposure thus helping to preserve
tooth enamel.
11
In addition to starting kids out right with a
proper diet, parents should emphasize and
practice proper brushing and flossing techniques
on their children when they are brushing their
teeth -
12
- so that the children will feelthat those
practices aresecond nature when they take over
for themselves.
13
Parents should then continue to share brushing
time with their kids as long as it is practical.
14
Dental care should be a regular regimen in its
own right and not an afterthought to meals.
15
Parents should take six-month checkups as
seriously as they do birthdays and holidays.
16
Brushing should be like voting best when done
early and often.
17
Children should brush with a soft or medium
brush, paying special attention to the back
teeth, and they should start flossing as soon as
their teeth begin to touch.
18
Each mouth is different and a childs mouth will
change drastically as he grows, so parents should
consult with their family dentists regularly for
any recommended variations on standard brushing
techniques.
19
The toothbrush need not only live in the
bathroom
20
Travel-size versions of dental-care products are
inexpensive and easy to stash in lunchboxes,
backpacks, briefcases, and glove compartments for
those moments when someone forgets to brush or
simply does not have enough time for the regular
routine.
21
This ensures that kids and adults alike can
properly take care of their teeth wherever they
go.
22
Prosthodontists, Orthodontists, and cosmetic
dentists are trained in aesthetic and restorative
dental care for those that have damaged or
misaligned teeth.
23
Cosmetic dentists take over where nature fails,
using techniques ranging from simple whitening to
major surgery to repair and restore proper
function and aesthetic appeal in patients of all
ages.
24
Family dentists are allies in good health, not
bogeymen to be feared, and children that are
raised with proper dental awareness and
techniques become adults with great teeth and
good dental health.
