Cavities are a common occurrence among many adults and children. But the frustration of this dental problem can easily be avoided by following a few simple dental hygiene tips. The dentistry practice of Pediatric Dental Group in Honolulu, HI is eager to share two easy ways parents can help their children avoid cavities.

  • Maintain a Healthy Diet: One of the easiest methods to ensure children grow up cavity-free is by providing them with a healthy diet. Teach your children the importance of avoiding excessive amounts of sugary treats, soft drinks, and other foods and beverages that are detrimental to their teeth. Once they learn this early on, the habit of healthy eating will stick with them through the rest of their lives, thus keeping teeth stronger and healthier going forward. The dentists at Pediatric Dental Group are more than happy to go over the importance of healthy eating at your child's next dental appointment.
  • Instill Healthy Dental Habits: Many parents and kids mistakenly believe that brushing teeth once or twice a day will do the trick. But children need to learn at a young age that brushing thoroughly at least twice a day, along with daily flossing, and regular dental checkups are all instrumental in keeping cavities and other oral health problems from occurring. Pediatric Dental Group recommends children have dental exams once every six months and will gladly consult with parents on ways to instill healthy dental habits during the exam.
