Good dental hygiene starts as soon as your child has teeth and that can carry on into adulthood. There are a few steps you can take every day to help your child get their healthiest teeth to prevent dental emergencies, toothaches, or cavities. 

Ways to Keep Teeth Healthy

Don’t go to bed Without Brushing 

People hear constantly that it’s recommended to brush twice a day and yet people still neglect to do this. Brushing before you go to bed is essential because it will help eliminate all the buildup of plaque and bacteria that has accumulated and is sticking on your teeth from the day.

Use a Fluoride Toothpaste

Fluoride will help protect your child’s teeth against tooth decay which can lead to cavities. When picking out toothpaste for your child make sure they are involved in the decision and it could help them be more likely to want to brush. No matter what kind of toothpaste they want, just make sure there’s fluoride in it. 

Take Your Child to the Dentist

Taking your child to the dentist is one of the most important steps in your child’s oral care. Your pediatric dentist will be able to check your child’s mouth for any signs of trouble before they will have any pain or you will notice. They will also think this is part of the yearly routine and be more inclined to schedule dental appointments throughout the years into their adulthood. 

Find a Children’s Dentist in Chicago

Most dentists will see children, but a pediatric dentist will be more equipped with handling all of your child’s specific dental needs. If you want to take your child to the best children’s dentist in Chicago, bring them to the professionals at All Star Dental. We specialize in children’s dentistry and will help maintain your child’s oral health. To schedule an appointment or if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
