At My Rivertown Dentist in Madison, we care for patients of all ages and their smiles. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Ashley Lee, we’re able to care for everyone from grandkids to their grandparents. Today, we wanted to focus a little bit on your child’s oral health and overall health because the two are deeply connected.
Here are the top three reasons kids can get cavities:
Reason #1 – Babies, toddler, and their bottles.
Sometimes it’s just easier to let your little one carry around or go to bed with a bottle of juice. We’ve probably all been there at least once and just needed some peace and quiet, right? However, the sugars and acids in certain drinks hang around on tiny teeth exposing them to potentially harmful bacteria. What comes next? Cavities!
Reason #2 – Rushing When Brushing.
This is another instance where sometimes it’s just easier to pick your battles and not fight over brushing teeth. It can’t hurt to miss just one day or night, right? Make sure that your kiddo is supervised while brushing to ensure they’re actually doing it right, especially addressing their molars, for at least two minutes.
Reason #3 – Missing Out on Trips to My Rivertown Dentist
Sometimes kids downright refuse to see the dentist, and it’s not different from what we hear from our adult patients too. It’s completely normal for everyone, at any age, to have some sort of nervousness about seeing their dentist. (Although it truly breaks our hearts that patients, both young and old, feel so scared or apprehensive about seeing a dentist in Madison.) Remember, we’re here to help, not hurt.
