Dr. Whalen’s “Tooth Truths for Little Teeth”
Posted on August 24th, 2017
TRUTH: BABY TEETH ARE IMPORTANT
WHY: They help in speech development, with chewing and biting correctly, and creating space for those permanent teeth to grow in.
TRUTH: FLUORIDE IS ESSENTIAL
WHY: Fluoride protects your child’s teeth by hardening the protective layer known as enamel and reversing breakdown from certain foods/drinks that can cause cavities.
TRUTH: CAVITIES ARE PREVALENT IN CHILDREN
WHY: 42% of kids experience tooth decay, aka cavities! Sugary juices, not brushing correctly, and bad eating habits can be a real problem.
Remember to instill in your kids healthy dental habits like brushing and flossing EVERY DAY, and making healthy choices when eating so their smile can be beautiful and healthy!
Because a HEALTHY SMILE = a HAPPY CHILD!
