The holiday season brings plenty of sugary treats, which can take a toll on your child’s teeth. Now that the festivities are over, it’s time to refresh their oral care routine and protect their smile. Here’s how to get back on track after the holiday indulgence.
How to Refresh Your Child’s Smile After the Holidays
Schedule a Professional Cleaning
A post-holiday dental visit helps remove plaque buildup and prevents cavities. Professional cleanings keep little smiles healthy and fresh for the new year.
Re-establish a Brushing Routine
Late nights and holiday travel can disrupt brushing habits. Get back on track by ensuring your child brushes twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flosses once a day.
Encourage More Water Consumption
Water washes away food particles and neutralizes acids from sugary treats. Make it the go-to drink for your child instead of juice or soda.
Upgrade Their Oral Care Tools
An electric toothbrush can improve cleaning, while fluoride treatments or dental sealants add extra protection. Ask your dentist about the best options for your child.
