ORAL HYGIENE IN CHILDREN. Virginia Garrido. Hygienist

Obviously, in order for their children to acquire such a habit, they must be educated by their elders. For this, in our clinic, we spend a lot of time with our patients to teach them proper brushing techniques and the use of dental floss (the great absentee in most of our patients).
cases). Children should know the importance of flossing. Their teeth and gums need the same care as ours.
I encourage you to share and promote dental hygiene with them, to achieve, together, that it is not “an obligation” but “a fun”.
Help us to share smiles!
