Holidays

As we enter the holiday season, it's easy for children to get caught up in the excitement of sweets and treats. However, as parents, it's our responsibility to ensure our children's dental health stays a top priority, even during the holidays. At Dr. Beanca Children's Dentistry in Huntington Beach, CA, we know that maintaining good oral hygiene during the holidays can be a struggle, which is why we've put together this guide with tips to help you keep your children's teeth healthy and bright.

Limit Sugary Treats

One of the simplest ways to keep your children's teeth healthy during the holidays is to limit their consumption of sugary treats. Set clear limits on how much candy and sugary food your children can consume per day. Encourage your children to choose healthier snacks like fruits and vegetables. You can also let your children indulge in a treat after a meal, when their mouth is producing more saliva, which helps to wash away the sugar and food particles.

Stay Consistent with Oral Hygiene

With so many holiday activities and events, it's easy to forget about maintaining your children's oral hygiene routine. It is important to be consistent in their brushing and flossing routines, even during the holidays. Make sure your children are brushing their teeth twice daily and flossing at least once a day. Encourage them to use fluoride toothpaste to strengthen their teeth and prevent cavities.

Encourage Drinking Water

Staying hydrated is essential for overall health, including oral health. Make sure your children are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Water helps to wash away harmful bacteria and food particles from the mouth, and also helps to keep the mouth hydrated and healthy. Make water the default beverage at meals and parties and avoid sugary drinks like soda and juice.

Schedule a Dental Check-Up

The holiday season is a great time to schedule a dental check-up for your children. At Dr. Beanca Children's Dentistry in Huntington Beach, CA, we provide comprehensive dental services for children, ranging from regular check-ups and cleanings to orthodontic treatments. A dental check-up can help ensure that your children's teeth are healthy and free from cavities, and also helps to identify any potential dental issues that may require treatment.
