(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 14, 2011 ) EAGAN AND MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA - February is the American Dental Association's National Children's Dental Health Month, and Mendota Heights, Orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth is spending the month promoting good oral hygiene to her patients, as well as local students.
For the past 15 years, Dr. Eisenhuth- a Mendota Heights braces specialist- and her staff have visited organizations and schools to discuss the importance of oral health. This year, she and the staff at her Eagan and Mendota Heights orthodontics practice will give away toothbrushes, dental dental floss and toothpaste, and focus on topics that promote good oral hygiene:
• Carbonated, sugary drinks are best to avoid, but if you MUST drink them, don't sip- drink them and then brush your teeth.
• Snack wisely. Select healthy snacks: cheese, fruits and vegetables. Stay away from sticky, chewy candies; they stick to teeth. If you eat them, brush afterward.
• Avoid tobacco products. They can be detrimental to oral and overall health.
• Teeth brushing techniques. It takes two minutes to properly brush using short, gentle strokes Don't forget to brush the tongue and along the gumline.
• Flossing. Hold the floss snugly between thumbs and index fingers and insert between each tooth, making sure to go beneath the gumline and curving the floss around the base of teeth.
• Routine dental visits. Go for professional check-ups and cleanings every six months, or as recommended by a dentist, said Eisenhuth, a Mendota Heights Incognito braces professional.
National Children's Dental Health Month has been observed since 1949. Its messages and materials have reached millions of people in communities across the country since then, according to the ADA website.
"It's vital for children to develop healthy habits when they're young to set the stage for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums," said Eisenhuth, a Mendota Heights invisible braces provider (http://doctorjennifer.com/life-with-braces.php). "National ChildrenÂ’s Dental Health Month is a great opportunity for us to help make that happen."
