Ask any tiny human their favorite time of year and chances are you will likely hear that it\u2019s Christmas. And what\u2019s more fun than taking your little one to have a photo taken with Santa<\/a>? Yes, this is a magical season destined for loads of tiny smiles. Not only do they get lots of presents from Santa and no school in sight, but everywhere they go there is another delicious treat waiting for them to eat. Between the cakes and sweets, the holiday season is a child\u2019s dream. What isn\u2019t dreamlike is a parent trying to keep their little one from ruining their smile during the holiday festivities. In fact, it can be downright tough to keep a smile on their child\u2019s face while keeping that smile healthy. But a healthy smile starts with a good foundation. Here are some tips to start your little one off on the right foot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily routines.<\/strong> Repetition is the best way to start a good habit, so make sure your child brushes their teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Supervisor their work until they can thoroughly do it themselves. Once teeth coming in begin to touch, introduce flossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First dental visit.<\/strong> The AAPD suggests baby\u2019s first dental visit<\/a> occur when their first tooth comes in, or around the age of one. Keeping them on a six-month dental schedule will not only ensure they keep a healthy smile but will also help prevent dental anxiety as they grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are what you eat.<\/strong> We can instill all the dental knowledge we can, but if you have a bad diet, it won\u2019t help. Same goes for your little one. Keep things in moderation. Limit the sugary snacks, cooked starches and sweetened drinks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
