  1. Tips to Help Your Children Prevent Orthodontic Problems

  2. Prevent Orthodontic Problems • Is it possible to help your children maintain a perfect set of teeth? How can you help them avoid the need for braces and other orthodontic devices?  • Orthodontic problems are usually hereditary, making them impossible to avoid altogether. But behavior can also play a role in teeth development and this can be corrected early on. • It's easier to fix teeth alignment issues for children and teens than it is for adults. 

  3. Here are Important Tips to Minimize Orthodontic Issues:

  4. Stop Teeth-Damaging Behaviors • Thumb-sucking is a natural habit for very young children. But if this continues beyond the age of 4, it can already be harmful to their teeth. • Tongue thrusting, or pushing the front teeth with the tongue, is another teeth-damaging habit you need to look out for. • It's important to help your children get rid of these habits as early as possible to avoid orthodontic issues.

  5. See Your Dentist Regularly • Take your child to the dentist for an orthodontic exam. This can be done as soon as they turn 7. • You're also welcome to bring your child in earlier if you're noticing issues in their mouth. Your dentist will not immediately begin treatments, but will first detect potential issues. • They will also monitor how your child's teeth develop and proceed with any procedure necessary at the right time. 

  6. Brush And Floss Properly • If your child, on the other hand, is already using braces, it's crucial to have them brush and floss their teeth regularly and properly. Teeth with braces are harder to clean. • Debris can build up around the appliance and cause tooth decay. • Your dentist can provide you with brushing instructions and also recommend cleaning tools so hard to reach areas can also be cleaned. 

  7. Eat With Caution • Children with braces also have to be careful when they eat. Monitor your child's diet to ensure they avoid hard and sticky food. • These food options can cause the appliance to break and lead to dental emergencies. • It also helps to eat slowly and avoid biting down on foreign objects, such as pens. 

  8. Check These Out! • Generations Dental offers a variety of dental services to help transform your experience into something pleasant and worthwhile. • Our main goal is for you to leave our dental office with a healthy mouth, excited about your experience, and looking forward to the next visit with a smile. • For more info on family dentist grandeprairie Check out: https://generationsdental.ca
