This is the month where kids get to indulge in all the candy they want, but we have a few easy tips to keep their “treating” from becoming cavities.
These three simple steps will ensure your children’s teeth and gums stay strong and clean despite the Halloween goodies!

-
Make sure to brush teeth twice a day for two minutes. Many kids’ toothbrushes have automatic lights or sounds that will alert you to when the time is up.
-
Encourage flossing before bed. Simple kid-friendly floss is easy for little hands and makes a huge difference on really getting between teeth to keep their gums healthy.
-
Use a child-friendly mouthwash. Children as young as six can begin a nightly fluoride rinse. This will help get any extra food off the teeth while also giving them additional fluoride to help prevent cavities.
