Happy Children’s Day!

Today, we celebrate the joy, energy, and beaming smiles of our little ones. It’s the perfect time to reflect on the importance of keeping those smiles healthy and strong for years to come.

Did you know that good oral health habits start early?

Even before your baby’s first tooth, gently wipe their gums with a clean, damp cloth.

Once the first tooth appears, begin brushing with a small, soft-bristled toothbrush and a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste.

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), children should see a dentist by their first birthday and continue checkups every six months.

These visits help to:

  1. Detect early signs of cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease.

  2. Spot potential issues, like misalignment, that may need early intervention.

  3. Guide you through teething and address any concerns.

  4. Reduce dental anxiety as they grow older.

  5. Instill a sense of responsibility about dental care.

On this Children’s Day, commit to your child’s oral health.

Encourage healthy snacks, limit sugary treats, and make brushing fun. When you establish positive dental habits early, you're setting the foundation for a lifetime of happy, healthy smiles.

Every smile is a treasure—let’s keep them shining!
