(BPRW) Miami, FL – February marks National Children’s Dental Health Month, and in recognition of it, Phanord & Associates, P.A. is encouraging parents and caregivers to prioritize healthy dental habits for children of all ages.
“Caring for your child’s teeth early can help prevent issues like cavities,” said Dr. Kevin Phanord. “By prioritizing regular dental visits and daily oral care, families can help set children up for a lifetime of healthy smiles and contribute to their overall well-being,” added Dr. Kyle Phanord.
Here are some tips to keep your children's oral health in top shape:
- Clean babies’ gums daily and begin brushing as soon as the first tooth appears
- Schedule your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting, whichever comes first
- Help your child brush twice a day until they develop strong brushing skills
- Ask your dentist about fluoride treatments and dental sealants to help prevent cavities
- Encourage daily flossing
- Visit a dental professional at least once per year, or more often as recommended
- Limit sugar intake and sugary drinks
- Encourage drinking water throughout the day
Phanord & Associates, P.A. encourages the community to remain proactive about their children’s oral health. Establishing healthy habits early and maintaining consistent dental care can make a lasting difference in a child’s confidence and overall health for years to come.
