As a parent, nothing\nlights up your world quite like your child\u2019s smile. Whether it\u2019s from a new\ntoy, their first taste of ice cream, or sliding down the big slide, seeing\ntheir little teeth paired with the sparkle in their eye is a recipe for a\nmelted heart. To keep their grin in tip-top shape, it is important to practice\nproper prevention. Otherwise, they could experience a dental\nemergency<\/a>, like a knocked out, chipped, or cracked tooth. Read on for\ndentist-recommended tactics to protect your child\u2019s teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Limit Sugary\nDrinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For decades, parents have been warned of the dangers\nof frequent soda consumption. While this sugary beverage is the culprit of\ntooth decay and cavities alike, other common drinks can wreak just as much\nhavoc on your child\u2019s teeth. For example, sports drinks, which are often\nmarketed to active kids, contain up to 14 teaspoons of sugar! Other beverages\nto be aware of are lemonade, energy drinks, and sparkling water with added\nsugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Bad\nDental Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While your child\u2019s teeth are designed to withstand the\npressure of breaking down their food to aid the digestion process, they are not\ndesigned to undergo the immense wear that bad dental habits cause. Often,\nchildren chew their pen caps or nails when they feel stressed or uncertain.\nWhile this may provide relief in the moment, it can leave their teeth\nvulnerable to damage. Therefore, make sure to intervene when you see these\nhabits surface to prevent them from resulting in a dental emergency.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prioritize a\nProper Oral Care Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting your child to properly brush and floss can be a chore. However, it is of the utmost importance that you are diligent about their oral care routine. If it is overlooked, it can lead to severe tooth decay, cavities, and infection. To prevent this from happening to your child, set a good example by participating in their dental hygiene routine with them. Plus, you can read books together that showcase their favorite characters brushing and flossing their teeth to guide them in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purchase a\nMouthguard for Sports-Related Activities <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know 5 million teeth are knocked out each year\nin sports-related activities? Yikes! This experience can be painful and\ntraumatic for your child, so practice proper prevention by purchasing a\nmouthguard. While a one-size-fits-all mouthguard can help protect their teeth,\nopting for a custom one from your dentist will provide them the maximum level\nof protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping your little\none protected is one of your biggest jobs as a parent. Although accidents can\nhappen, practicing proper prevention can protect your child\u2019s smile by keeping\nit strong and healthy from the inside-out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
