Family dentistry: discover fun dental care games & activities for your kids.

Do your children a huge favor - help them feel comfortable at dental care appointments as a great start to a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.

You want your children to brush and floss and to be relaxed during their family dentistry visits - so lay the groundwork today by sharing fun coloring projects, games and more with them. This will help them to see that dentists and hygienists help them stay healthy.

Here’s how to help preschoolers understand the importance of visits to their DentalWorks North Olmsted dentist office.

With preschoolers, you can color with them as you chat about the importance of regular dental health care. Our favorite is the dental health care superhero! Another fun idea uses hardboiled eggs, a can of cola and a toothbrush and toothpaste; try this activity to let your children actually see the results of preventive dental care.

Include game playing as you discuss dental health care with your family.

There are some great games online, including those from:

• the American Dental Association (ADA)
• The American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA)
• Dentistry About.com

The best month to search online for terrific dental care resources for the entire family is February: National Children’s Dental Health Month.

National Children’s Dental Health Month has been celebrated for more than 50 years and serves as a key reminder of the importance of healthy teeth and gums.
