We had the wonderful opportunity of helping over 150 children learn about going to the dentist and how to properly take care of their teeth! It was a lot of fun seeing their beautiful Smiles and even having them teach us a few things! The best part for them was meeting Mr. Smiley and getting to brush his teeth! Thanks for letting us stop by and we hope this is a start to having Healthy & Happy Smiles for Life!Monday, February 23, 2009

Children's Dental Health Month
Help us celebrate the 60th anniversary of Children's Dental Health Month by taking a moment to take care of your child's teeth. This month serves as an annual reminder to children, parents, and caregivers, of the importance of healthy oral health habits. Here are a few things to remember this month and fun things you can do with your child:
Why are Baby Teeth So Important?
Baby teeth serve important purposes such as helping the child to speak normal and clear, and to chew naturally. Baby teeth also hold a place for permanent teeth to come in properly. Children with cavities eat poorly, stop smiling, and don’t learn properly. Tooth decay is an infection that does not heal without treatment. If cavities are not treated, children can develop infections severe enough to require emergency room treatment and their adult teeth may be permanently damaged.
How do I Take Care of my Child's Teeth?
Brushing children’s teeth twice a day, flossing daily and regular dental checkups are essential for establishing good oral hygiene at an early age. You will need to brush your child's teeth until they are old enough to do it on their own (when they are able to rinse and spit out the toothpaste without swallowing it).
What should I do if my child falls and knocks out a permanent tooth?
The most important thing to do is to remain calm. Then find the tooth. Hold it by the crown rather than the root and try to reinsert it in the socket. If that is not possible, put the tooth in a glass of milk and take your child and the glass immediately to the dentist!
Fun Dental Sites and Activities You and Your Child Can Visit!
Crest Kids - Learn how to get your kids interested in learning about dental health, gum disease and cavities. Includes tips for tykes, parent's guide, product information, and games.
Colgate Kids World - Colgate Kids World provides a safe, fun and educational online world for kids to play games while learning about good oral care. At Colgate Kids World you will find online videos with Dr. Rabbit, a Brush Chart and many fun games for all ages.
Tooth Brushing Charts - My kids love tooth brushing charts and actually like to brush their teeth when I have them hanging on the bathroom wall. I change them out every few months to keep them interested, and they keep brushing.
Dental Activities - Children love to have fun while they are learning. Teaching children about good dental health is easy with these fun, free and educational dental activities, such as puzzles, games, printable coloring pages, brushing charts, fun facts, crafts, dental experiments and more.
