Tips for Families to Keep Smiles Bright at Home
Keep up on the skills needed to keep your teeth healthy now and for many years to come:
Protect your teeth from cavities. Always brush with fluoride toothpaste.
Use only a tiny amount of toothpaste for Children under 3, about the size of a grain of rice. Those under 6 need a pea-sized amount.
Remember to brush twice a day to keep the germs away! In addition, floss once per day.
See a dentist at least every year! Going to the dentist is safe and recommended for everyone.
