If you want your children to have good teeth all their life, then it is vital to teach them at an early age about Oral Hygiene says a City of London dentist. The trick is to make it a fun thing to do, it is also important that they understand why it is important to keep your teeth clean. One of the best ways to help them is to discourage sweet things which as we all know are usually full of preservatives and sugar, both of which are not good for young teeth. If children understand why we need to avoid certain food stuffs then it is much easier to keep them off them. Making it a fun thing to do will also encourage them to keep their teeth clean throughout the day, when we make something a chore we will always find resistance. Remember that children are naturally inquisitive at the best of times, so treat them as an adult and you`ll be surprised at the response. It is known amongst dentists that a child who understands the importance of looking after their teeth make for better patients. Despite rumours to the contrary dentist would rather their clients didn’t visit them as much, all dentists are very active on the preventative side of their treatment programs and starting with children is a good thing. It takes just a few minutes each day to teach our children good oral hygiene, and that few minutes will save them a lifetime of expense and visits to the dentist chair.
