It’s National dental hygiene month! October!
Here's a quick easy look at prevention of tooth decay.
.
1. Don’t share utensils with your child or “clean” a pacifier by putting it in your mouth. You can transfer cavity-causing germs to your child
2. Eat healthy and drink flouridated water
3. First dental visit: No later than 1 year old
4. Use flouride toothpaste
5. Seal out decay: Ask your dentist about applying dental sealants to chewing surfaces of teeth.
