Dental Hygiene

-

 Dental hygiene is very important, especially at our little learners’ age! How we take care of our pearly

whites can affect how we speak, smile, eat and show emotion. Not taking care of our teeth can cost a

pretty penny! There are a few steps to follow when beginning to take care of our teeth.

-Children should be brushing their teeth twice a day, with a pea sized drop of toothpaste.

-Children should rinse and spit once they are finished.

-When nearing the age of 5 they should be brushing for 2 minutes.

-Children should see a dentist beginning at the age of 4.

-Ask your dentist to use teeth sealants when necessary.

Avoid eating sugary foods and drinks.

-Children under the age of 6 need a parent to watch them as they brush.


Teaching our children to take ownership of their dental hygiene sets them up for their future. Smile big!!

Rather the goal should be creating the perfect environment for enhancing their growth.”- Randy Sprick. For example, in a classroom setting if there is a book shelf right next to the circle time rug and students are pulling books off the
