Top Kid Dental Product RecommendationsTop Kids Dental Product Recommendations

 

If you’re a parent, you’ve likely struggled to get your child or kids to brush and floss their teeth. You are not alone!

 

It’s a known fact that the habits your kids form when they are young will impact their oral health care habits for a lifetime. Good habits will help your kids prevent tooth decay and gum disease and pass on their good habits to future generations.

 

The challenge for many parents is the dental product aisle at your favorite retail store. The aisle is long and filled with an overwhelming number of choices. Which ones work? Are they right for your kids? And what is the likelihood that they’ll use it?

 

All are valid questions and are among the most frequently asked questions during preventive dental visits. Dentistry for the Entire Family’s dental hygienists compiled a list of their favorite kids dental product recommendations based upon their experiences and feedback from parents like you. First up are electric toothbrushes, followed by tooth brushing timers, smartphone apps, dental fluoride rinse, tongue cleaners, custom athletic mouth guards, and a couple devices to clean and sanitize mouth guards and ortho retainers. Feel free to call us at (763) 586-9988 with any questions or email us support@dentistryfortheentirefamily.
