Everyone knows that if you want kids to do something willfully, you'll have to make it fun. When it comes to building habits, fun is a definite must! Oral Hygiene habits are very important for both kids and adults. It's a lifelong pursuit that will result in better long-term consequences if good habits are formed at a young age. The trick is figuring out how to make brushing your teeth fun. Here are a few tried and tested ideas that past parents have used to great success! Try them out and see if they work for you and your family!
Getting the braces out of the way when you're a child pays huge dividends your entire life, but if you weren't fortunate enough to experience them as a teenager, it's not too late now that you're an adult. One in five orthodontics patients are adults, according to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).
That amounts to a lot more full grown men and women proudly sporting braces today than ever before. Ideally, your teeth should be perfectly aligned, poised to chomp down at any moment. Yet you might find yourself with crooked teeth, crowded teeth, poorly-aligned teeth, and a bite doesn't quite hit the mark.
There are many health issues related to your bite: an over-crowded mouth can be difficult to clean, making your teeth more susceptible to tooth decay; a bad bite can lead to chewing and swallowing problems; overly-stressed chewing muscles can cause facial pain; and poorly aligned teeth can be the cause of a speech impediment. Braces are often the best solution to these issues, even if you're over 18 years old.
Those in favor assert (correctly) that the fluoride is good for child's teeth and will help prevent decay, chips, and overall tooth health. Those against fluorinated toothpaste say that if your child swallows too much fluorinated toothpaste, it could make them sick (which is also true). Ask your West Jordan dentist what his/her opinion is and take into consideration your child's toothpaste swallowing tendencies.
There are several primary benefits to treating your child's mouth early on. As mentioned above, Phase I treatment can reduce or even eliminate the time and money needed later on in life for more serious orthodontia fixes. This also reduces the pain your child will experience as a result of spacers, braces, pulled-teeth, and other permanent procedures. Under the careful monitoring of your Draper dentist, from the beginning, your child's teeth will be guided and set to provide an aesthetically pleasing smile (and face), full-function for chewing, speaking, and breathing, and improve oral health.
They often include songs, dances, or fun stories that you can refer to when it's teeth-brushing time at your house. Some of these programs even include computer or mobile sites or apps that can help your child have fun brushing.
