Children’s Dental Health

The National Children’s Dental Health Month campaign comes about each February.  The goal is to bring together educators, dental professionals, health care providers and others to promote the benefits of good oral health.  These leaders team up to work with children, their teachers, and their caregivers year after year.  As the orthodontist Vancouver families trust with their smiles and braces, we encourage people of all ages to learn more about Dental Health Month. 

The slogan for the 2019 campaign is ‘brush and clean in between to build a healthy smile.’  What started once as a single day of awareness out of Ohio has now grown into a national campaign celebrated the entire month of February. 

Forming great oral health habits

Healthy habits begin forming at an early age.  Work with children to start them on the right path towards a healthy smile.  Our Vancouver orthodontist and team believe our priority is to teach our patients about oral health care and help reinforce good habits so their smiles stay in great shape.  Aside from brushing and flossing, our Vancouver orthodontist patients need additional care.  Food can get stuck in brackets and under wires so brushing and flossing is always important. 

Oral hygiene habits and exams

Regular visits with our Vancouver orthodontist and with your own dentist are all part of your oral treatment plan.  With professional visits you are assured that your smile is getting the care it needs.  Maintain great flossing habits and brushing habits and talk with our team if you have concerns.  Use water flossers or floss threaders for an easy way to floss between your teeth while you wear braces. 

Our team is here to care for your smile and we want you to feel comfortable talking with us about your oral health.  Learn more about us through Facebook or give us a call to set up a consultation.  We look forward to working with you to build you a great smile and to helping you establish a wonderful oral hygiene routine.
