The pediatric dentists and hygienists at Pedodontic Associates know it can be challenging to get kids excited about healthy habits. Yet, both parents and oral care professionals agree: Dental care is an important part of wellness. When strong dental habits are developed at a young age, children become better able to maintain healthy teeth and gums for life.

To help you get your children excited about their dental habits (instead of feeling like they’re just another chore), the best pediatric dentists on Oahu and Maui have shared their top tips here:

  • Make It A Team Effort: Brushing and flossing in the company of your children will help enforce the idea that dental care is important for everyone, no matter their age. Perform your regular brushing and flossing routine alongside your children. Doing so will set a great example and allow you to supervise them and make sure they’re getting the hang of things. 
  • dental careUse Fun Supplies: Does your child have a favorite character? If so, consider purchasing a toothbrush featuring them. An eye-catching toothbrush and toothpaste with fun flavors will make dental care more inviting. You might even want to consider having your children pick out their own supplies at the grocery store to make the experience more special.
  • Choose A Children’s Dentist: The formal environment of a typical dentist’s office could seem strange to young children, but pediatric dentists who tailor their services specifically to kids know how to make the visit as fun as possible. Pedodontic Associates has three convenient locations, each of which has a clean and comfortable environment suited to young patients.
