Parents beware!
New studies have shown that sharing spoons
during mealtime actually puts your toddlers’ oral health at risk. Recent
studies have shown that tooth decay in children aged five to nine have grown
nearly 14% since 2011.
While many mothers are not aware of how easy it is to
transfer their oral bacteria, fewer know that even kissing their child on the
lips can transfer some harmful bacteria. The tip to prevent this is to practice
good oral hygiene on yourself, and impart a healthy tooth cleaning routine for
your child.
However, there is a bright side: only parents who have active
tooth decay and are carrying the Streptococcus mutans bacteria will be putting
their children’s teeth at risk. If you are suffering from tooth decay, be sure
to schedule an appointment with your friendly Valencia dentist today to get
that cleared up. Not only for your health, but also your child’s.
If you are unsure how to teach your kids the healthiest
brushing methods, be sure you ask your friendly Valencia dentist today. Not
only can we teach you how to take care of yourself, but we can also teach you
ways to ensure your child has a happy, healthy smile.
