Dr. Brian Toorani Shares Dental Tips to Start the School Year Right

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA, September 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) As majority of children are back in school for the year, Dr. Brian Toorani, Huntington Beach dentist, is available to offer helpful dental tips to help patients maintain a healthy, glowing smile. Dental Oasis of Orange County continues to remain available to help patients start their year right with a bright healthy smile.

"In a rush to get ready for school, dental care is often overlooked. Poor dental hygiene can lead to tooth decay, which is the number one most common chronic childhood disease. My staff and I are always available to offer helpful tips to keep our patients smiling all year long, while avoiding the possibility of missing school in order to treat dental disease," said Dr. Brian Toorani, Huntington Beach dental implant dentist.

Teaching kids good dental hygiene habits early on will not only ensure their oral health, reducing dental bills, but also their overall health. Dr. Toorani, dentist in Huntington Beach, CA, places importance on dental checkups, as his staff will not only clean a patient's teeth, but also check for any problems. When caught early, dental complications can be quickly fixed and will prevent a child from missing school due to dental-related illness while eliminating the need for costly dental procedures.

When it comes to a child's toothbrush, it is important to replace it if the brush is worn out and has sprayed bristles. By allowing a child to choose their own toothbrush, urges Dr. Toorani, dentist in Huntington Beach, they will be more excited about brushing their own teeth. It is also helpful for children to choose a toothpaste flavor that they enjoy because most kids are put off by strong, minty flavors that are usually inherent in adult toothpastes.

Additionally, Dr. Toorani, Huntington Beach, CA dentist, understands that flossing can often be an annoyance for adults, let alone children. In order to make flossing more appealing for children, parents should consider getting them floss picks. By using floss picks, children may be more likely to floss everyday.

Parents should also pack their children healthy lunches and snacks during the school year, and all year long. Dr. Brian Toorani, cosmetic dentist in Huntington Beach, instructs parents to include grains, milk, cheese, raw vegetables, yogurt or fruit in their lunches and for snacks. And when children participate in sports during the school season, Dr. Toorani informs parents of the importance of wearing a properly fitted mouthguard while participating in organized sports, PE classes or playground activities to protect their teeth.
