Home Care Instructions

A healthy smile starts at home! Daily habits help prevent cavities, protect gums, and keep teeth healthy for a lifetime.

DAILY ORAL CARE

  • Brush twice daily with a toothpaste that carries the ADA Seal of Acceptance.
  • Brush for at least 2 minutes each time.
  • Floss once daily to clean between teeth.
  • Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months or sooner if worn.

HEALTHY EATING HABITS

  • Limit sugary snacks, candy, and sweet drinks.
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
  • Choose healthy snacks such as fruits, vegetables, cheese, and yogurt.
  • Avoid frequent snacking between meals.

PROTECT YOUR SMILE

  • Wear a mouthguard during sports and recreational activities.
  • Avoid chewing on ice, pens, pencils, or other hard objects.
  • Visit the dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.

REMEMBER

Baby teeth are important! They help children chew properly, speak clearly, smile confidently, and maintain space for permanent teeth.
