New Dental Products to Protect Your Child’s Teeth and Gums!

Although February is known for Valentine’s Day and the consumption of cavity-causing chocolate delights, dentists are attempting to balance the scales by designating this as National Children’s Dental Health Month. Understanding how important it is to set excellent dental health habits early in life, their goal is to get as many kids as possible excited about caring for their teeth and gums, and to better educate parents. To help out, there are new dental hygiene products available. Continue reading to learn about them!

Brushies for Fun Teeth Cleaning

Is it a chore to get your little one to brush his or her teeth twice a day? If so, you’ll likely find relief in a product line called Brushies, which are toothbrushes that fit on your child’s fingers. With each softly bristled finger brush doubling as a puppet, your child will look forward to each toothbrushing session.

Gum Chucks for Yummy Flossing

Any dentist will attest to the fact that patients who floss regularly have better oral health than those who don’t. That’s why it’s important to introduce this habit early in life. With traditional dental floss, this is easier said than done, as it requires a certain degree of coordination and dexterity.

Thanks to Gum Chucks, flossing doesn’t have to be a chore. Shaped like the nunchucks used by martial artists, they provide an easy and fun way for kids to learn how to floss.

Plaque Fighting Oral Irrigation

The Waterpik Water Flosser for Kids provides an alternative way to remove debris and bacteria that hide between teeth. This can be especially helpful for kids who wear braces or have trouble flossing. To make it a fun experience, children can decorate the base unit with stickers. By more thoroughly cleaning his or her teeth, your child will be happy at the next visit to your dentist in Love Field.

EvoraPro Probiotics for Healthy Gums

Typically, probiotics are used to improve gut health, but a new product by EvoraPro is designed to introduce good bacteria into the mouths of children, which helps to neutralize the harmful bacteria. In doing so, it promotes healthy and strong gums.

Tasty Xylitol Mints for Fresh Breath

All children love to chew gum, but many of the brands contain sugar that contributes to cavities or potentially harmful sugar substitutes. With Zellie’s xylitol gum, kids are able to satisfy a sweet craving in a natural and non-threatening manner. Better yet, the xylitol helps to strengthen teeth and prevent decay.

When you visit your local children’s dentist for a checkup and cleaning, you can get more information about the above products so that you can make the best decision for your child. By being proactive in your efforts, you can rest assured that your little one’s teeth and gums are fully protected!
