The best way to teach my child how to floss and brush everyday!!!

Important seed to water

If you went to the store to buy seeds for an apple tree, when you get home you pick the place where you want the plant to grow. You then plant the seeds and water them, and after that day you completely forget that you ever planted that seed. After the first or second year of plating the seed, you start wondering happened to the seed you panted since there are no signs of any apple plant. So you go back to the store and you explain to them your dilemma, and their response is some thing like this "you never took care of it."

Parents have probably the hardest most complicated and confusing job of all. The job of a parent does not come with a hand book, or any specific training. As a parent you can not establish the schedule when you are available, or the type of duty you may want to perform. You don't have a contract that has an expiration date or the possibility of calling in sick when you don't feel like working. However, with all those flaws that this job offers it is the most wanted job of all. Children bring so much peace and happiness to a household, and the experience of being a parent is unchangeable. Because we loved them with all our hearts, we want to offer them the best of us. But kids grow up and become adults just like us, and for a parent what is important to understand is that whatever seed we watered in that child is the tree that we are going to see when they become adults.

An important seed

One important seed to water in a child is the care for their teeth. Many parents do not realize how crucial it is to teach a child a proper dental hygiene, and how it may have a long-term effect in their adult life. Taking your child to the dentist should be as important as teaching them to maintain good oral health by brushing and flossing everyday. Many of my adult patients, who come to us with unhealthy teeth, were not told as a child the importance of dental care.

Let's start today!!
