Games to Help your Kids With Oral Hygiene

Did you know that simple experiments and crafts is a great way to teach your kids about dental care? According to your Kids Dentist in Corona, you can teach your children the importance of oral health and good hygiene using fun dental activities.

Improve your children’s teeth brushing movements with Tooth Brush Painting by cutting the shape of a tooth out of a large piece of white paper. Use an old toothbrush and have your son or daughter dip it into water-based poster paint and brush the tooth like you normally would. Show your kids how to make up and down movements, circular and back and forth over the tooth. This great little art project teaches your kids proper brushing and is fun at the same time. Your Pediatric Dentist in Corona wants to remind you to tell your children that old toothbrushes should never be put into their mouths and are only used for painting.

Make your kids want to brush their teeth with a tooth brushing game. Kids have 20 baby teeth totaling 32 permanents by the time they grow up. Keep a tooth-brushing chart stressing how important it is to brush every day. Grab a piece of red poster board and a black marker and draw a big outline of a person with a toothy grin. Hang it on the wall and for every day that your kids brush their teeth, let them glue a dried white bean on the chart to resemble a tooth. Use it like a calendar and add a new tooth for every day for that month. At the end of the month, your kids will have a bright shining smile grinning right back at them.

All Smiles Kids Dentist can never stress enough how damaging sugar is to teeth. If you want to show your kids how bad sugar is for their teeth in a fun way, drop a hard-boiled egg into a see through glass of grape juice or coca cola for 24 hours. Gently brush the discolored eggshell with a dab of toothpaste and a toothbrush. As your kids remove the stain, tell them what caused it and explain why it is important to brush after eating.

Another game you can play with your kids that is recommended by your Corona Kids Dentist is happy face snacks. Give everyone a paper plate and ask him or her to make happy faces with the healthy snacks that you have put on the table. Carrots, nuts, raisins, popcorn, oranges, and apple slices are a good start leading to happy snaps for the photo album. Use this time to talk about eating healthy foods instead of junk food.

Take Care of Your Kids Teeth with the Best Corona Kids Dentist

When it comes to the health and well-being of your children oral health should be at the top of the list. The habits that your kids develop when they are young, including comfortable visits with your Corona Kids Dentist are vital if you want your children to have healthy teeth and gums when they become adults.

Unfortunately, more than 50 percent of Americans have a fear of the dentist. Those fears could go back as far as childhood when a not so caring Pediatric Dentist in Corona said the wrong thing or caused unnecessary pain. Luckily, that will never happen when you schedule an appointment with All Smiles Kids Dentist in Corona.

Dr. Lan Nguyen and Dr. Daniel Morgan both have the skills and training to put your children at ease providing infants, toddlers, teens and kids with special needs a positive experience when it comes to dental check-ups.

All Smiles Kids Dentist in Chino also offers orthodontic care provided by Dr. Jonathon Rucker and Dr. Samuel D. Waddoups, and if you have been considering orthodontics for your kids, it is vital that you schedule a Chino Hills Kids orthodontic screening with All Smiles Kids Dentist in Corona before they reach seven years of age.

About the time that your children turn seven their teeth and jaws have usually had sufficient time to develop. When you schedule your sons and daughters with Dr.Rucker or Dr. Waddoups they will be able to determine whether your children are being affected by any bite problems.

Treatment is not always required when your kids turn seven, but the screening does give you the opportunity to understand how your kid’s teeth will develop and what treatments to expect. After your kids have their permanent teeth between the ages of 12 and 14, All Smiles Kids Pediatric Dentist in Corona may recommend braces for proper alignment.

If you have an infant, toddler, or teen and would like to schedule an appointment with the finest Kids Dentist in Corona, call for an appointment or visit the website. After all, your kid’s teeth are just as important as the rest of their bodies.

A Healthy Diet is Just as Important for Your Kids

Your favorite Corona Kids Dentist understands the importance of a good diet, but it is not just your body that suffers. A poor diet can also wreck havoc with your teeth and gums.

According to Readers Digest, there are foods that your kids eat and drinks that could cause serious problems for your teeth and gums. If your toddlers, kids, teens, and young adults continue eating starchy and sugary foods, you could find yourself scheduling more Kids Smiles dental appointments.

Your Kids Pediatric Dentist in Corona knows that raising an infant or toddler can be difficult, but especially so if you are feeding your kids sugary fruit juices. Pacifiers can also cause problems for your kids developing teeth.

Once your toddlers are able to eat solid foods it may be tempting to feed them special treats like cookies and candy, but doing so could cause serious problems. Sugary foods will turn to acids eventually eating away at the enamel on your kids teeth. With that being said, your Kids Dentist in Corona will also recommend that your children avoid starchy foods like white breads, chips, French fries, pretzels, and even pasta as they can get caught in between teeth and turn to sugar almost immediately.

You might think that those lollypops that your bank hands out to your kids will keep them quiet aren't always the best choice. If your kids must have something sweet, All Smiles Kids Dentist in Corona recommends that you give your kids sugar free mints. Hard candies have a dimineralizing effect because you end up sucking on them for a longer period of time.

Gummy bears, toffee, and chocolate can get stuck in-between your kid’s teeth. Your Pediatric Dentist in Corona explains that because the saliva in your mouth is not able to contact that part of your kids tooth in order to neutralize the acid there could be a loss of calcium. You may think you are doing your kids a favor by handing out the dried fruit, but bacteria will convert sugar to acid whether its fruit sugars or refined sugars.

Avoid sodas and never give your kids sports drinks or energy drinks, as they are loaded with sugar. Your Kids Corona Dentist recommends that you get your children to drink plenty of water instead, and if you do feed your kids juice, buy a juicer and make your own.

If you would like more information regarding your kid’s teeth and a healthy diet, schedule an appointment with All Smiles today. The best Kids Dentist in Corona is just a phone call away and can help you teach your kids good habits when it comes to healthy teeth and gums.
