ACT Kids Anticavity Fluoride: The Ideal Choice for Your Kids

Give Kids a Fighting Chance Against Pediatric Tooth Decay

Dentistry for children can be a delicate practice, which is why you should only trust the best for your kids. However, finding a quality pediatric dentist may not be enough! Without proper care and attention, children may be likely to develop tooth decay or chronic infections. In fact, 80% of all cavities occur in 25% of children in the United States. In some cases, the issues can occur as early as toddler years, with children as young as 3 developing cavities in their baby teeth.

Teaching your children proper oral care habits at a young age can help your kids fight off cavity producing bacteria, which can help reduce their risk of dental work later in life. However, it is also important to be aware of the type of dental products you are using at home. It is important for children to be using products that have a substantial amount of fluoride, which can strengthen tooth enamel and help to fight off plaque and tartar. For patients who are looking for an effective cavity fighting solution, Dr. Beaufils recommends ACT Kids Anticavity Fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash.

Why ACT Kids?

Children are often drawn to sweet, sugary foods that can be harmful to the teeth and gums. In recent years, these foods are even being introduced earlier and earlier in life, posing an oral decay risk from an earlier age. In addition, kids may not fully understand the concept of brushing their teeth, or the importance of it. This is where the parents come in. Armed with knowledgeable information from a reliable source, such as your pediatric dentist, talk to your kids about maintaining a proper brushing routine. This goes for parents with children of all ages! In fact, starting your teachings off from a young age can help guarantee they will stick with them for life.

However, even when you try your hardest to teach your children good dental health habits and teach them the importance of brushing, flossing, and clean eating, you might still run into trouble. Children are notorious for not enjoying the daily chore than is brushing their teeth, which is why Dr. Beaufils and tons of dentists everywhere recommend choosing a kid-driven product.

ACT Kids is a line of powerful cavity fighting fluoride products that come in kid-friendly flavors like fruit punch. Colorful designs of popular cartoon characters help draw your kids in and make them excited about brushing their teeth. You can also incorporate fun aspects to your everyday routine, like personalized mirrors or reward systems! Remember, the goal is to get your children to commit to brushing, flossing, and rinsing twice a day, for at least 2 minutes at a time.

Dr. Beaufils recommends incorporating both the toothpaste and mouthwash to help maximize your cavity prevention. Plus, the mouthwash and toothpaste are smaller than adult products, which let your children comfortably handle them with little assistance from you. ACT Kids is easy to use and helps keep your child’s mouth happy and healthy!
