Pediatric Dentistry Fredericksburg & Ashland VA

Building good oral hygiene habits when they are young is essential to making sure your kids grow up with healthy smiles. Brushing twice a day and flossing are two of the most important habits they can get into, and will go a long way towards preventing more serious issues down the road. And of course, regular checkups and cleanings at the dentist will help catch any problems before they become too serious.

Parents should start brushing their child’s teeth as soon as they appear. During your child’s hygiene appointment, the team at Fredericksburg Smile Center and Ashland Smile Center will provide oral hygiene instructions to continue to build their oral hygiene habits. Parents can help continue this routine by making sure that children brush and floss their teeth twice daily. It is especially important for children to avoid sugary drinks and snacks for their overall health and oral health.
