Oral Habits
at Cottage Grove Pediatric Dentistry

The foundation of a healthy smile starts with good oral habits. We’re here to provide guidance and expertise when it comes to your child’s oral health. From hygiene to preventive care, we’ve got you covered.

Why are good oral habits important for kids?

The oral habits your child establishes when they're young will stick with them for the rest of their lives. Great at-home oral hygiene helps prevent common issues like gum disease and cavities, and sets them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Because of this, it’s really important to make sure your child brushes and flosses regularly, and comes into our office every 6 months for a checkup.
