Teaching children: In order to promote dental health, children should understand the importance of good general health habits which should include the importance of taking good care of your teeth and gums by brushing and flossing and eating nutritious foods; not foods and liquids that promote dental caries (tooth decay). They should understand how important these habits are towards a lifetime of being cavity free!

Clean their teeth: A good diet, low in sugar, and dental hygiene and regular visits to your dentist will reduce dental decay and gum disease. This can usually be taught around the age of two, but every child is different. Good luck!
