“Helping your child learn good dental health habits is the start of a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums,” says Dr. Romani Nashid, owner of Smile View Dental in Oshawa. Get each day off to a healthy start by making sure your child brushes well after breakfast.

Six good habits for healthy teeth:
• Brush twice a day, morning and evening, to remove plaque from teeth and gums. Plaque is a sticky layer of germs that forms on teeth and gums. It can cause cavities and gum disease if it isn’t removed.
• Floss between your child’s teeth once a day. This will remove plaque from between teeth and under the gums.
• Check your child’s teeth often. If you notice any brown or white spots on your child’s teeth, call a dentist. If they’re not treated, these spots can lead to tooth decay.
• Protect your child’s teeth. Teach your child not to chew on things like pencils and to be careful when playing on swings, slides and other playground equipment.
• Pack healthy, tooth-friendly, snacks for your child to eat at school. Sticky, sugary snacks cling to the teeth and cause tooth decay.
• Take your child to the dentist regularly. From their first birthday on, children should have regular visits to the dentist. Dentist can catch problems before they can become serious.
