No parent wants to see their child in pain-luckily, when it comes to cavities, pain can be a thing of the past-with proper prevention!
Here are three ways to help your child prevent cavities:
1. Get your child familiar with brushing their teeth before they can do it themselves. When you brush your teeth, have your child accompany you so they get used to the routine.
2. Make sure your child is brushing with a toothpaste that contains fluoride. Fluoride helps to strengthen their enamel, making it difficult for acid and bacteria to cause problems.
3. Watch what they’re snacking on. Foods high in sugar like candy, juice boxes, and fruit leather should be consumed in moderation. Encourage them to brush their teeth after consuming anything high in sugar.
