Showing your appreciation and affection for those you love isn\u2019t the only reason to celebrate in February. It\u2019s also Children\u2019s Dental Health Month, which is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of good oral health for children. Although their baby teeth are only in place for a few years, they are invaluable to your little one\u2019s health and development. Research has found that good early oral habits can lead to a lifelong commitment to their smile. You can encourage great habits that will last for a lifetime by celebrating Children\u2019s Dental Health Month with 3 exciting oral hygiene products.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Electric Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although cavities are almost always preventable, tooth decay in children is 5 times more prevalent than asthma. It\u2019s the most common childhood disease. Your child\u2019s toothbrush is their first line of defense against tooth decay, but it can be a battle to get them to brush their teeth. Many children skip brushing before bed or rush through their routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get your little one excited about brushing their teeth with a new electric toothbrush. They offer more brush strokes per minute to provide a better clean. Many also come with certain features, like timers and pressure sensors. You can find the perfect toothbrush for your child\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for one that has soft bristles and accommodates the size of their mouth. It\u2019s best to choose from products that have earned the American Dental Association\u2019s Seal of Acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Oral Irrigator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Around the age of 6, the gaps between your child\u2019s teeth begin to close, which means it\u2019s time to introduce flossing. Adults aren\u2019t the only ones at risk of gum disease. With the infection linked to many health problems, it\u2019s important your little one develops good flossing habits; however, traditional floss can be difficult for small hands to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An oral irrigator can protect their gum health without frustration. It emits gentle pressurized water to remove food particles and plaque from the most difficult-to-reach areas in the mouth. Flossing will feel like less of a chore, so they are more likely to commit to daily flossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Mouthwash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A mouthwash can complement your child\u2019s oral hygiene habits by killing any remaining bacteria. They come in many flavors that your child will love. Look for one that contains fluoride to help strengthen their enamel to make it more resistant to decay. Also, look for the ADA\u2019s Seal of Acceptance, which means it has undergone voluntary testing for safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child will see that healthy teeth and gums are a reason to celebrate. Besides brushing and flossing, don\u2019t forget to schedule their cleaning and checkup every 6 months with their pediatric dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
