\"5<\/a>It\u2019s a new year, which means one thing to many people: New Year\u2019s Resolutions. Since you\u2019re a parent, you get to make resolutions for your little ones as well. You want everything to be better for them in 2017, but their health is probably your top priority. One simple thing you can do is have them take better care of their teeth<\/strong>. What are a few little things that could make a big impact on their smile this year? Here are 5 easy every day tips from your children\u2019s dentist in El Reno, OK, Dr. Adam Cohlmia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Better Brushing<\/h2>\n

For many parents, simply getting their children to brush consistently would be a victory. You can also make sure that they are brushing correctly when they do. It\u2019s best for them to brush at least twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, for at least 2 minutes each time. An electric toothbrush will help keep the time for them, but if they use a manual toothbrush, be sure to set a timer. One fun idea, however, is to play a little song for the two minutes to make it more fun. Be sure they are brushing all of their teeth, as children (and many adults) often miss their back teeth.<\/p>\n

2. Watch the Sugary Drinks<\/h2>\n

Cavities are caused by sugar. More specifically, the naturally occurring bacteria in the mouth consumes leftover sugar on the teeth and turns it into acidic plaque. Drinks high in sugar like sodas and juices can speed up this process. Your children don\u2019t need to give them up entirely, just moderate their consumption to help protect their teeth.<\/p>\n

3. Drink More Water<\/h2>\n

This will help you with #2. Whenever they\u2019re thirsty, make sure they only drink water. Not only will it keep them hydrated, but it will also give their teeth a nice rinse, removing excess sugar and food particles. It\u2019s the next best thing to brushing their teeth, so have them rinse after meals if they don\u2019t have time to brush during the day. This can be very helpful after snack time if you are not home.<\/p>\n

4. Eat More Vegetables<\/h2>\n

Vegetables can help their teeth in a few ways. Firstly, it fills them up without exposing them to excess sugar or salt that can damage their teeth. Also, particularly fibrous vegetables like celery and carrots actually scrub their teeth while they chew<\/a>. You can dip them both in a bit of cream cheese if your child has difficulty eating vegetables.<\/p>\n
