DIET ANALYSIS BEVERLY HILLS

Preventative dentistry plays a vital role in your child’s dental health. Learning some basic facts about proper hygiene can give your child the lifelong gift of a healthy mouth, white teeth, and a beautiful smile.

There are many benefits to having a healthy mouth. Healthy dentition aids the digestive process. Proper alignment of teeth and healthy gums allows proper chewing of food. This makes it easier for foods to be digested which leads to better nutrition. Having a great smile is important and gives a child confidence when interacting with others at school and at play.

Poor dental health can lead to physical pain. Anyone who has ever experienced the pain of a toothache knows how uncomfortable it is. No parent likes to see their child suffer unnecessary pain. Decayed teeth and infected gums can harbor bacteria and have been linked to other health problems throughout the body. Poor oral health can cause emotional issues such as being embarrassed by bad breath. Children may be afraid to smile due to discolored or decayed teeth.

Fortunately, poor dental health can be avoided. Healthy dental habits are easy to learn and should be part of your child’s daily routine. When instituted at a young age, these habits will become a natural part of your child’s everyday life that they will carry with them into adulthood.
