How to Prevent Pediatric Dental Emergencies
While your child can’t always avoid dental emergencies, you can reduce their risk of having one. Just make sure they stick to the following guidelines:
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene – If your child brushes twice daily and flosses (at least) once daily, they’ll be much less likely to suffer tooth decay or gum disease.
- Avoid Bad Oral Habits – Unfortunately, habits like nail-biting and ice-chewing can chip and crack teeth. Make sure your child avoids them as best you can.
- Use a Mouthguard – Your child can prevent sports-related mouth injuries by wearing a sportsguard. Similarly, a nightguard could reduce their nighttime teeth grinding.
- See a Dentist Often – Have your child get dental checkups and cleanings every six months. A pediatric dentist can prevent mild issues from worsening through regular visits.
