Keep Smiles Bright in Calgary: Essential Summer Oral Health Tips for Children and Teens
Welcome to Bee Family Dental, where the vibrant smiles of Calgary's children and teens are our top priority. Dr. Shideh Barikani and Dr. Shiva Barikani, along with our dedicated team, are here to ensure that your family's oral health remains in top-notch condition, especially during the sunny days of summer.
1. Embrace Hydration
Summer in Calgary can be warm, and staying hydrated is crucial for overall health, including oral health. Encourage your children and teens to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Not only does water keep them hydrated, but it also helps rinse away food particles and bacteria that can lead to cavities and bad breath.
2. Maintain Oral Hygiene Routine
With the relaxed summer schedule, it's easy for oral hygiene routines to slip. Remind your children and teens to brush their teeth twice a day and floss daily. Set a good example by following these practices yourself. At Bee Family Dental, we recommend using fluoride toothpaste to strengthen enamel and prevent decay.
3. Protect Teeth During Outdoor Activities
Summer is a time for outdoor fun, but it's important to protect your children's teeth during sports and recreational activities. Equip them with mouthguards to prevent injuries to the teeth, lips, and tongue. Custom-fitted mouthguards are available at Bee Family Dental for optimal comfort and protection.
4. Watch the Sugar Intake
With summer comes a plethora of sweet treats, from ice cream to popsicles. While indulging in moderation is fine, excessive sugar consumption can lead to tooth decay. Encourage your children to enjoy sugary treats as occasional treats and to rinse their mouths with water afterward. Opt for healthier snack alternatives like fresh fruits and vegetables.
5. Schedule Regular Dental Check-ups
Don't let summer break be a break from dental visits. Regular check-ups with Dr. Shideh Barikani and Dr. Shiva Barikani are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. Summer is an ideal time for appointments since it doesn't interfere with school schedules. Our friendly team at Bee Family Dental will ensure a comfortable and positive experience for your children and teens.
