February is National Children's Dental Health Month

Did you know February is National Children's Dental Health Month?  Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children to get a good start toward a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.  Our doctors also follow the American Dental Association and American Association of Orthodontists recommendations regarding orthodontic consultation, by age 7.

Good dental habits:

  • Brushing for at least 2 minutes
  • Brushing at least 2 times a day
  • Floss teeth daily
  • Limit the amount of sugary, sticky snacks
  • Eat healthy meals
  • See your dentist for regular cleanings and check-ups
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of our Sondhi-Biggs-Hansen Orthodontics team members.
