Family Dental Care: Tips for Keeping Your Whole Family Smiling
How can families keep their smiles healthy at every age?
Strong oral health starts with simple, consistent habits. Here are key tips for maintaining your family’s smiles, from toddlers to seniors:
Dental Care Tips for All Ages
Infants: Clean your baby’s gums with a damp cloth and start brushing with a soft toothbrush when the first tooth appears. Schedule their first dental visit by age one.
Children & Pre-Teens: Encourage brushing for two minutes, twice a day, and daily flossing as soon as teeth touch. Dental sealants can help prevent cavities.
Teens: Remind teens to clean thoroughly, especially if they have braces. Custom mouthguards protect teeth during sports. Monitor the emergence of wisdom teeth.
Adults & Seniors: Prioritize routine check-ups and cleanings. Watch for symptoms like bleeding gums and discuss any health or medication changes with your dentist.
Nutrition for Healthy Teeth
Choose water as the primary drink.
Eat calcium-rich foods (like cheese and yogurt) and crunchy fruits/veggies (like apples and carrots) to support strong, clean teeth.
