Grandparents, Grandkids & Dental Care
Published On: April 13, 2022
Dr. Maxim Godko has been thinking about how much things have changed in the world of dentistry since today’s grandparents were growing kids themselves. Grandparents today are often very involved in the daily lives of their grandchildren—they may live close by, provide financial assistance, or assume childcare responsibilities for working parents. Since oral hygiene
and dietary habits are established in childhood, it’s important that grandparents’
dental education
is on point.
There are a lot of basic facts that grandparents may or may not know about dentistry, such as:
- Definitions of dental terms
- The availability of specialized toothbrushes and toothpaste for kids
- Sending kids to bed with juice, milk, or formula in their bottles can contribute to tooth decay
- That oral health is systemically linked to overall health
- The important role of baby teeth in future dental development
- The advantages that fluoride treatments and dental sealants may provide
- The capabilities of modern technology in dental diagnoses and treatments
