Children’s Oral Hygiene

When you bring your children to see our Kalispell children’s dentist, we make it a goal to keep their visit upbeat and positive. Most dental concerns are preventable, but the key is to form great habits from an early age. When you do, your child gets a head start at having healthy teeth for life…

You already know the importance of brushing and flossing to your child’s dental health, but it’s difficult to clean every tiny nook and cranny where bacteria can hide. The back teeth, also known as molars, are especially vulnerable to cavity-causing bacteria due to their rough, uneven texture.

Dentists encourage us to use fluoride so often, we may take this superpower ingredient for granted. But is fluoride really worth all the hype? And how can it benefit our children’s oral health? We’ll take an in-depth look at fluoride – and show you why your child’s Kalispell dentist is right to make the recommendation!
