For Best Care, Be Aware and Get in There!
Time to celebrate a healthy smile!
The dental team at the Porcupine Health Unit wants your child to be cavity-free.
Here are 4 simple steps to make cavities become a thing of the past.
- Check your child’s teeth every day.
- Help your child brush twice a day and floss once.
- Feed them nutritious snacks like fruits and vegetables.
- Visit a dental professional every year.
If you suspect a dental problem don’t hesitate to see a dental professional. Dental care is available in our community through our local dentists, dental hygienists and the Porcupine Health Unit. Financial help is also available for children 17 years old and younger through the Children In Need of Treatment (CINOT).
So remember
- Best care: Brush 2x and floss daily. Feed your child nutritious snacks.
- Be aware: Decay can happen early!
- Get in there: Lift the lip and inspect your child’s teeth.
Get in there. Remember to lift the lip and look at your child's teeth regularly.
