Dental Health and Your Teeth

Dental Health

Do you take good care of your teeth? It’s been my experience that some people don’t mind going to the dentist, while others dread it and postpone going as long as they can. I’m not the best about keeping dental appointments, but I’m not the worst in my family either.

A few weeks ago one of the grand-littles had to have some work done on her teeth. She was very brave and the dentist and his staff were so kind to her.

They made her a fish balloon which she brought home after the procedure.

If you need information about taking care of your teeth here’s a good piece from The National Institute on Aging to read up on it.

Don’t wait too long to visit your dentist. Problems can be prevented much easier than they can be repaired and in case you don’t already know, dental work is expensive! Another resource you should check out is AARP Dental Care Tips.

Talk to your grandchildren about their dental health and the importance of regular dental checkups. Then be a good example and practice what you preach! (Yes, I’m talking to myself here, too!)

Keep toothbrushes at your house for grandchildren sleep overs just in case they forget theirs. These two cousins remembered this weekend but they don’t always!

Nothing is sweeter than grandchildren smiles!

    I have a phobia for dentists! It has something to do with a bad experience at a government-run clinic when I was a child.
    Knowing how traumatic a visit to the dentist can be , I made sure that my boys went to a child-friendly dentist when they were little and I am glad to say that they actually loved their visits to the the dentist!

    My husband and I delayed our dental cleanings for awhile because of vivid, but we caught up recently and had them done. My grandchildren actually like going to the dentist as their dentist is very kind and makes the experience a good one, similar to your granddaughter’s experience.

    I always grab the toothbrushes from hotels and give to kids that sleep over that forgot to pack them…mind you I also did that on the weekend, and had to run out and buy one!
