Seven Steps for a Lifetime of Healthy Teeth
A lasting smile requires diligent care, and fostering good oral health habits in children is crucial. Here's how to ensure those pearly whites stay healthy for life.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General’s report, dental issues cause children to miss over 51 million school hours and adults to lose 164 million work hours annually. In 2002, dental services in the U.S. cost more than $70.1 billion.
Dr. Marsha Butler, Colgate-Palmolive's Vice President of Global Oral Health, highlights that tooth decay is more prevalent among U.S. children aged 5 to 17 than asthma and hay fever. This poses a significant threat to their overall health and well-being.
During National Children's Dental Health Month, Colgate and Dr. Richard H. Carmona introduced "The U.S. Surgeon General's Seven Steps to a Bright Smile," practical tips developed with support from Colgate-Palmolive to keep teeth and gums in top condition:
1. Brush Regularly: Use fluoride toothpaste to brush teeth and gums at least twice a day, especially after breakfast and before bed.
2. Visit the Dentist: Schedule regular dental check-ups.
3. Floss Daily: Clean between your teeth every day.
4. Use Fluoride Rinse: Strengthen your teeth and gums with a fluoride mouthwash.
5. Snack Wisely: Limit snacking and focus on a healthy diet rich in calcium.
6. Wear a Mouthguard: Protect your teeth during sports activities.
7. Consider Sealants: Consult your dentist about dental sealants.
Colgate's Bright Smiles, Bright Futures program has provided free dental screenings, treatment referrals, and oral health education to over 50 million children. They aim to reach 100 million children by 2010, empowering them to take charge of their oral health and highlighting the importance of maintaining good dental hygiene.
By following these steps, you can help ensure a bright smile that lasts a lifetime.
