Are Your Child's Brushing Habits Wearing Away Their Enamel?

Good afternoon!

We love all of our patients equally, but have a special place in our hearts for our younger, pediatric patients! We think it's wonderful when parents are pro-active and start bringing their children into our office at an early age so they can begin taking care of their teeth correctly from the start. What a lot of parents don't realize however, is that their child's brushing habits could potentially be wearing away their enamel. How is this possible you may ask? Well today we are sharing this wonderful article from patientconnect365.com which talks about just that! Here are a few of the things that the article mentions:

• Brushing too frequently
• Brushing too vigorously
• Using an ill-fitting toothbrush
• Using a toothbrush with bristles that are too stiff 

Want to learn more in-depth about each one of these topics so you can better help your child? Visit the full article here.
