Good dental hygiene
Good dental hygiene is not only important but it’s necessary for a healthy life. As a teenager, it’s important to make dental care part of your daily routine right along with after school sports or outings with friends.

Good Dental Hygiene: Helping Teenagers Avoid Cavities 

July 10, 2017 Dental Topics - County Dental Group - Poughkeepsie Dental Office Blog, Oral Hygiene - New York Offices - County Dental Group

Good dental hygiene is not only important but it’s necessary for a healthy life. As a teenager, it’s important to make dental care part of your daily routine right along with after school sports or outings with friends.

As parents, scheduling a time when your teenager can sit down with his or her dentist to establish a oral health care plan is essential. This is an important step to prevent cavities and other oral health issues.

Good Dental Hygiene Tips

At County Dental in New York, we are here to improve the lives of the people in our local communities. That means YOU! We recommend the following tips to assist with proper oral health tips for a long-lasting teen and adult happy smile. 
    • Brush your teeth twice a day.
    • Floss at least once a day.
    • Don’t skip flossing and brushing your teeth.
    • Limit sugary snacks and beverages.
    • Schedule your teens routine dental cleaning and checkup every six months at County Dental.
    • Ask your teen to work with his dentist and hygienist to prepare a dental health plan. Working with a neutral party will assist in proper oral health.
    • Call your County Dental dentist and make an appointment if your teenager has a concern outside of six month checkups.
    • Talk to your dentist about dental sealants. Dental sealants act as a barrier to protect cavity-prone areas, especially in the back of the mouth.
    • Traveling? Make sure your teen has a dental travel kit prepared.
    • Protect your teeth during sports and other activities by wearing a mouthguard. Consult with your dentist for the proper mouthguard for your activity.
