\"dentist<\/a>It\u2019s February, the month of love, a couple office birthdays\u2026 and children\u2019s dental health! That\u2019s right — this month is the time we dedicate to spreading awareness about your little one\u2019s oral health, like how you can keep it strong for a lifetime of healthy teeth. Regular brushing and flossing are a big part of it, but there\u2019s more. Keep reading for tips on maintaining excellent children\u2019s dental health from your trusted family dentist in El Reno, <\/span>Dr. Adam Cohlmia<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your child needs help maintaining healthy teeth <\/span><\/h3>\n

She can\u2019t do it all on her own — good oral hygiene in children takes lots of practice, and careful guidance from you. Keep these top three tips in mind and you\u2019ll be giving your little one the best gift of all: healthy teeth that last a lifetime!<\/span><\/p>\n

#1: Help her brush and floss regularly<\/span><\/h4>\n

Brushing for two minutes, twice a day and flossing daily are vital for smiles of all ages and sizes. Help your child when she\u2019s too young to do these tasks on her own, but continue to monitor her techniques even after she starts brushing and flossing by herself (typically around age 6, or when she can tie her own shoes). If you meet resistance, you can make it fun by having family smile time — when everyone brushes and flosses together. Your good example is crucial for developing good oral habits in your young one. <\/span><\/p>\n

#2: All things in moderation<\/span><\/h4>\n

Your family dentist in El Reno believes all children should enjoy candy from time to time — but the important thing is moderation. Help your child understand that sweet treats are just fine on special occasions, but that their sugars can cause real harm to their teeth and overall health. And to protect their small smile from damage, encourage rinsing the mouth with water after consuming sugar. <\/span><\/p>\n

#3: Regular visits to the dentist<\/span><\/h4>\n

Here\u2019s another thing your child can\u2019t do for herself yet: schedule and maintain her visits to the El Reno family dentist. Set her up for a lifetime of healthy teeth by making sure she gets a checkup and cleaning every six months — and schedule your own while you\u2019re at it, too. When she sees that you value good oral health, chances are good that she will, too. <\/span><\/p>\n

Schedule your child\u2019s visit today!<\/span><\/h3>\n

Speaking of visiting the dentist\u2026 what better time for your child\u2019s six month checkup and cleaning than during Children\u2019s Dental Health month? <\/span>Call our office<\/span><\/a> to schedule your little one\u2019s appointment with Dr. Cohlmia, the dentist in El Reno today!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
