Children's Oral Health Month

At Fresh Meadows Dental, we want all of our younger patients to practice good oral health care. Every February the American Dental Association (ADA) raises awareness of children’s oral health with National Children’s Dental Health Month.  We encourage you to help your kids learn more about the importance of taking care of teeth so they have a healthy smile for years to come.


Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among children which is preventable with good health oral care. We advise our patients to floss and brush twice a day to prevent tooth decay. Flossing removes 40%of the bacteria on your teeth and brushing with fluoride toothpaste removes the rest.


When possible, we encourage our patients to avoid eating foods that have a lot of sugar and are acidic that increase your chances of developing tooth decay. The healthier your child eats, the greater chance their teeth will be decay free.


Don’t forget to schedule a cleaning with us twice a year so your children have their best smile!
