It is not hard to teach your child or children as the case may be good at home dental care habits.  I sure you may have heard the saying “Monkey see Monkey do”  When it comes to teaching your kids dental care habits it really is a case where leading by example is good advise.

Heed the hygienist’s or dentist advice by brushing frequently (in the morning, at night, and after meals), floss daily, and put a cap on sugary drinks and snacks.  By doing so you will help to instill the same tooth-friendly habits in your kids. With infants, clean your baby’s teeth with a soft cloth or gauze pad as soon as they start to come in, you can switch to a soft toothbrush when more teeth emerge.
