FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Newswire.net — August 26, 2013) Salt Lake City, UT — There’s flurry of activity when preparing children for a new school year and we cannot forget that health and good looks can be the best tools for success. The Children’s Dentists Group in Salt Lake delivers advanced patient care through the use of cutting edge technology and offers the top five ways to protect your children’s teeth for this school year and for the rest of their lives.
1. Make good hygiene a habit. Although it may not be the favorite activity in your child’s busy day, brushing and flossing before and after school regularly removes bacteria from the mouth and prevents decay and gum disease.
2. Pick up some kid-friendly dental supplies. Involve your children in the process by letting them choose their own toothbrush. Be sure that it has soft bristles and is the correct size for their age. Why not experiment with toothpaste flavors as well? Many children don’t like the strong mint flavors that adults often use, so try several different flavors of toothpaste to find their favorite. If they like how it tastes, they’re more likely to want to brush their teeth.
3. Healthy lunches and snacks are easy. By including portable healthy lunch items and snacks in your child’s sack lunch, you can help manage the sugary and acidic foods your child eats. If your child eats in the school cafeteria, you can quickly review healthy, balanced food choices with him or her before the first day of school to help reinforce healthy habits.
4. Find a properly fitting mouth guard for sports leagues and other physical activities, such as PE class. To keep teeth protected and prevent a painful injury, a well-fitting mouth guard is essential.
5. Schedule checkups with your pediatric dentist in salt lake city every 6 months. While dental care at home is extremely important to your child’s health, it is still necessary to schedule time to see the dentist. A dentist will thoroughly clean and examine your child’s teeth and address any potential issues like cavities or gum disease. Catching and treating these problems early will prevent them from escalating in the future.
From now until the end of 2013, the Pediatric Dentist Salt Lake City Group is helping the community, adults and children, by offering up to 50% off on all smile enhancements. That’s a savings of up to $2,000 plus! All smile enhancement patients receive free teeth whitening as well.
