If you are wondering about all the essential dental equipment that your kids may need to enjoy the summer and stay cavity free, this blog post is the right place for you.
Oral Hygiene Care Pouch
When your dentist hands you the tooth brush in a pouch, keep it to make an oral care travel kit, ready to go!
A soft-bristled toothbrush
Soft bristles are gentle on your gums and teeth, protect enamel and effectively help in removing plaque build-up. They are super flexible that enables them to clean food particles efficiently (even from places that are otherwise difficult to reach). Avoid super soft unless your dentist has recommended.
Fluoridated toothpaste
Just a pea sized amount and voila, you are done!
Fluoride has the ability to protect enamel, restore mineralization and prevent tooth decay. Fluoride also helps in fighting bacterial build-up in the oral cavity that prevents caries so your kid can smile confidently. Do not forget to supervise your children when they are brushing their teeth. Teach them to brush their teeth in gentle circular motions.
Floss
Flossing is recommended when kids reach the age of 2 – years based on dentition.
Mouthwash
Mouthwash is not essential component of the kid, unless recommended by your dentist
Don’t forget to schedule regular dental appointments every 6 months to keep the teeth and gums healthy! Enjoy the summer
