Here's a reminder about why it is just as critical for you to practice
good oral hygiene habits on your pet as it is to practice them on yourself.
It's important to start teaching kids the value
of good oral hygiene habits early on because it sets them on track to a lifetime of healthy habits.
A good dental hygiene routine can start before your baby's first teeth have even come through; the sooner you begin daily toothcare with your little one the easier it will be to keep up
good oral hygiene habits as they grow up.
To help
instill good oral hygiene habits, Lindsey suggests making your child's brushing experience fun with creative games, a sticker chart, choice of fun toothbrush and toothpaste options, and by praising your child after they brush.
The primary teeth don't start to shed until about 5 to 7 years of age, so make sure you
introduce good oral hygiene habits from a young age, and remember, babies and children learn more by example than words.
