How can I help my children look after their teeth?

Try to limit how much sugary food your children are eating and make sure they are brushing their teeth well. To ensure they are brushing well use an electric toothbrush. Studies have concluded that the oscillating rotating power toothbrush technology pioneered by Oral-B, is shown to be superior to manual toothbrushes.

The review stated, "Brushes that worked with a rotation oscillation action removed more plaque and reduced gingivitis more effectively than manual brushes in the short and long-term”

As well as regular brushing please bring the kids in for a regular Preventive Care appointment with the hygienist so he/she can remove the plaque that builds up on the teeth, that can't be removed with ordinary brushing. This combination of correct brushing, eating good healthy food and regular cleaning at the dentist will give your children the teeth they will want as adults.
