Clean teeth, Beautiful smile!

Last Tuesday, my husband took Tommy to his 6 month dental cleaning. Tommy didn't cooperate, which is typical for a child of his age. But he enjoyed rising his mouth and spiting the water up on the cuspidor as a big boy.

Our son's dentist was very impressed how clean Tommy's teeth were previous to the cleaning. No caries! This proof to me, fluoride is not necessary for preventing caries.  Our son's dentist doesn't recommended fluoride toothpaste for Tommy because fluoride is poison regardless if the kid sallow a very small amount. Fluoride is not recommended for a child with sensory processing either because it worsens sensory issues.

How we have been done to keep Tommy's dental health?
We have been very consistent in the following:
• Starting healthy toothbrushing habits since he was a baby.
• Eating a healthy diet that includes: fruits, vegetables, fat, carbohydrate, proteins and water, even Tommy doesn't like to drink water.
• Using a powered toothbrush.
• Limiting the intake of refine sugar in every possible way.

Our next step in teaching Tommy to keep his dental health is FLOSSING HIS TEETH! Which I think, it will be challenging, but his dentists has been very persistent we should start doing it. So I came with a plan, I hope it will work. Keep tune for my next post in how Tommy has been doing with learning to floss his teeth.
