Holidays are just a few blocks away!
This is that time of the year again when we’re all busy making plans for the holidays, while the kids are at their happiest. Since the spirit of Christmas and the New Year can never be celebrated without good food, what better time than now to teach your kids about the positives of good oral health?
The Andre Johnson Foundation, founded by the football star, Andre Johnson recently organized a fun and interactive event for kids to brush up the basics of oral hygiene. Held at the Bastian Elementary School in Texas, the event had reputed pediatric dentist, Dr. Corbet Ellison sharing facts about dental health with the school children.
Dr. Ellison emphasized three important factors to ensure good oral health –
- You should brush your teeth for a minimum of 2-3 min.
- You should fix an appointment with your dentist in every 6 months.
- You should avoid foods with high-sugar content such as candy or fruit juice.
The event was perfectly timed to kick-off the holidays as holidays are when we indulge in sweet treats and other food items that have a damaging effect on our teeth. This is why adopting healthy oral practices helps to lessen that damage.
Afterall, maintaining good oral health is a necessity and not an option.
