Besides its nutritional value, celery is good for exercising teeth, given its high fiber content. With all these health benefits in mind, having celery as a part of your families diet is essential!

Brushing twice a day can help prevent tooth decay by removing plaque from your teeth. Plaque is a sticky film that coats your teeth, and it’s full of bacteria that creates an enamel-eating acid. Your enamel protects your teeth, so you’re weakening your oral defenses by not brushing away harmful plaque. Leftover plaque eventually turns to tartar, which is not removable by brushing. Tartar needs to be scraped off with special dental instruments. Call us today if you notice plaque or tartar on your child’s teeth. ☎️ 714-557-5437

Activated charcoal is an abrasive substance. This can remove the outer layer of the tooth called the enamel. In order to keep your enamel nice and strong, brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss, rinse and visit your pediatric dentist every 3-6 months! Don’t forget to keep yourself hydrated and drink plenty of water, too 💦

Happy Monday!!! Don’t forget to Brush twice a day, Floss once a night, Rinse, Visit your Pediatric Dentist every 3-6 months, and Repeat 😀

Benefits of Fluoride: Because it works with the enamel, fluoride stops bacteria production by preventing the bacteria from forming layers outside the teeth. Reduces Tooth Decay: Its bacteria-halting abilities makes tooth decay significantly less prominent in young children, protecting the teeth from damage.
