Start Good Habits at an Early Age
You might have heard this one before, but it’s important to say it again. The best way to ensure good dental health at any age is to begin good habits early. This means teaching young kids to brush their teeth at least twice a day, and preferably after every meal. Creating something that becomes routine means that it will soon be nothing but second nature. However, it is never too late to form good habits, even if they haven’t been in place before. Some older people were never taught the importance of great dental health at any age. It takes as little as three weeks to form a new habit, including good ones, so with a little encouragement, even the most stubborn of grandparents can have perfect dental hygiene habits in less than a month!
Orthodontics Are for Everyone
A lot of people associate orthodontics with teenagers, as this is typically the time when people will wear braces. Yet orthodontics can offer dental health at any age. If you are unhappy with the alignment of your teeth, from a cosmetic or comfort standpoint, inquire about orthodontic treatment at our New Westminster clinic. There is no age limit when it comes to orthodontic treatment, so don’t feel that just because you are no longer a teenager that it is not the right treatment for you.
