Don’t forget that if you want to keep everyone’s smiles on track and you have little kids, it is absolutely essential that you brush and floss with them. Good news: This is beneficial for your kids and for you, too. As you practice morning and evening dental care together, you’re making sure that you get through your dental hygiene. You also make sure your kids practice dental care and that they do it correctly (without swallowing toothpaste or mouth wash).
Who is accountable to who in your household? Do you check in with your spouse regarding brushing and flossing? Do you check on your teens? To ensure your family is on track with dental care, create a system (even if it just means checking in with everyone) so that all family members are brushing twice a day and flossing the required once daily. Remember, this is the very simple method of protecting smiles at home!
Call us to set up your family’s professional dental care. Remember that you need six-month checkups and cleanings, your children require them, your spouse needs them, and so does any other household member. Keep visits scheduled in advance, write them down on your calendar, and you’ll be on track with your oral health responsibilities!
