So \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Jy8JurvYlH4\">watch cartoons<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scholastic.com\/parents\/resources\/book-list\/health\/books-dentist-visit\">read stories<\/a>, and use these handy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mouthhealthykids.org\/en\/activity-sheets\/color-and-count\">coloring book pages<\/a> from the American Dental Association to make kids excited about their oral health professional.<\/p>\n<h2>How Can I Make Dental Care Fun For Adults?<\/h2>\n<p>Adults usually face two common dental problems \u2013 tooth decay and gum disease. To make sure you brush long enough, play a song you enjoy on your phone while you brush, and be sure to floss daily. If flossing hurts, switch to a satin style dental tape to make this vital step in your routine more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<h2>How Can I Make Dental Care Fun For Seniors?<\/h2>\n<p>Getting older doesn\u2019t have to mean losing your teeth. You can avoid dentures by using an electric toothbrush that is easier for arthritic or aching hands to hold, and try using dental flossers that put less strain on your fingers to clean in between teeth. And, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southridgedental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> to replace dentures if you\u2019re missing teeth.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Good For Your Teeth No Matter Your Age?<\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of how old you are, our practice recommends the following strategies to keep your smile healthy and bright:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>2x2x2<\/u> \u2013 Brush gently twice a day for two minutes \u2013 and floss when you brush. See your dentist at least twice a year for preventive care like exams and cleanings.<\/li>\n<li><u>Eat Right<\/u> \u2013 Cut out sugar since it causes tooth decay and enamel damage \u2013 this includes sweet beverages like sodas and fruit juices. Instead, load up on leafy greens and dairy that are loaded with calcium \u2013 and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-2336850\/Forget-gum-Eating-CHEESE-prevent-tooth-decay-neutralises-acid-mouth.html\">say cheese<\/a>, because this treat can ward off cavities.<\/li>\n<li><u>Don\u2019t Smoke<\/u> \u2013 If you use tobacco products in any form, you\u2019re putting yourself at serious risk for oral cancer. Stop today \u2013 you\u2019ll eliminate bad breath and staining, and improve your overall health in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you know how to make taking care of your teeth fun no matter what age you are, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southridgedental.com\/contact-us.html\">schedule your appointment<\/a> with the team at Southridge Dental today \u2013 we\u2019ll keep your smile beautiful your whole life long!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You love your family \u2013 there\u2019s nothing that makes you happier than seeing them smile.
