As parents, we’re all ultimately concerned with our children’s health and well being. A big part of a child’s health is their oral hygiene, but what sort of things should we be thinking about when choosing a toothbrush for them? One of the biggest problems in children’s oral health is that children often don’t brush for long enough. Certain toothbrushes address this issue in a clever way. There are toothbrushes that light up and blink for the dentist-recommended 60 seconds of proper brushing time. This keeps children interested, helping them maintain their oral health more effectively. The brush has nice soft bristles and comes in many different styles, featuring the favorite characters of various age groups, to keep the little ones entertained further.

Kids Brushing Teeth

It is very important for children to brush their teeth. A substance called plaque forms naturally on the teeth, and when combined with the sugars and starches in our diet, it produces an acid that leads to tooth decay. Tooth decay is related to periodontal disorders, which are the leading cause of tooth loss later in life. Gum diseases are not only unpleasant and painful; they can affect the overall bodily health. Brushing your children’s teeth also eliminates stains and bad breath. Sometimes, though, it is hard for a parent to get their child to show interest in brushing their teeth, and their oral health might suffer for it. The best ways to get your children to want to brush their teeth are the ways that make it fun for them. Consider purchasing a toothbrush that sings, lights up, or features their favorite characters.

Professional teeth whitening is a very popular service, as it can dramatically increase the beauty of your teeth in a relatively short period of time. For some people, though, the cost of in-office whitening can be too much. In-office also can be painful if not performed cautiously. A great alternative to in-office whitening is Take Home whitening. There are a number of different brands, but they follow the same process. Take Home whitening features a pair of custom trays that the patient takes home. Inside of these trays is a concentration of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide that, when worn, wears away stains and discolorations in the enamel of the teeth. After taking impressions, your dentist will show you how to use your custom trays, and you’ll be on your way to whiter teeth.

The whiteness of your teeth is an important aspect of your appearance. A shiny white smile is very attractive, but sadly, most of us experience discoloration and staining as a result of our diets and behaviors. For those seeking rapid, dramatic change to the whiteness of their teeth, Laser Teeth Whitening is a great option. This is a very effective method that produces immediate results. While in the office, a very highly concentrated bleaching gel is applied to the teeth after a cleaning. The dentist then uses a laser to activate the gel and hasten the absorption into the teeth. The procedure can be quite painful if not done properly, but for most, the pain is minor. The process can be fairly expensive, so be sure to check your local prices and decide if this is the best method for you.
