- Be sure your child brushes for at least 2 minutes twice a day.
- Start flossing as soon as teeth touch, or even earlier to help build good habits.

Importance of Child Oral Hygiene
Healthy teeth and gums are crucial for a child’s overall well-being and development. Establishing good oral hygiene habits early on can help prevent dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay, setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Child Oral Hygiene Tips:
At Tipare, we believe in empowering parents with the knowledge and tools they need to help their children maintain optimal oral health. Our expert tips include guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques, selecting age-appropriate dental products, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and scheduling regular dental check-ups and cleanings.
Brushing and Flossing Techniques:
Preventing cavities is a top priority for child oral hygiene. We’ll share practical tips for cavity prevention, such as encouraging a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, limiting sugary snacks and beverages, and promoting regular dental visits for professional cleanings and fluoride treatments.
Cavity Prevention Strategies:
At Tipare, we offer a range of treatments for gum disease tailored to the severity of the condition. This may include deep cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline, antibiotic therapy, and surgical interventions for advanced cases. Our goal is to restore gum health and prevent further damage to the gums and supporting structures.
Establishing Healthy Habits:
Instilling good oral hygiene habits from a young age is essential for long-term dental health. We’ll offer advice on creating a positive dental routine for your child, including setting a regular brushing and flossing schedule, making oral care fun and engaging, and leading by example with your own dental habits.
Importance of Early Dental Visits:
Early dental visits are key to monitoring your child’s oral health and addressing any issues before they escalate. We’ll explain the importance of scheduling your child’s first dental appointment by their first birthday and maintaining regular check-ups thereafter.
