The theme for this year’s #MouthProud campaign is all about promoting a lifetime of smiles by taking care of your oral health no matter what age or stage of life you’re in. As your partner in dental health, we’ve put together some of our top tips to help ensure that your entire family enjoys healthy, beautiful smiles for a lifetime. Our team firmly believes that prevention is better than cure.
To stay beaming, don’t forget to:
- Brush twice a day for two minutes, after breakfast and before bed
- Floss once a day
- Visit your dentist every 6 months
To make sure your kids smile big for years to come:
- Bring your children in for a check-up once their first tooth erupts, and another visit 6 months later.
- Children should have a minimum 2-hour gap between meals/snacks. Sugary sweets shouldn’t be given between meals.
- Snacking should be limited. Parents should read the labels of the products they purchase to identify hidden sugars like corn syrup, honey, glucose etc.
- Babies/kids’ toothpaste shouldn’t be used beyond 6 years of age. Tooth brushing should always be supervised.
To smile well into your golden years:
- Visit us regularly to ensure your smile stays happy and healthy into your senior years
- If you’re missing teeth, schedule a visit with us to learn about your options for implants or dentures to improve the life, health, and function of remaining natural teeth.
Remember, taking care of your oral health is important at any age. Book a check-up and clean today and take the first step towards a lifetime of smiles.
