Given that youngsters are more susceptible to illnesses, experiencing an average of 6-8 illnesses annually, this can pose challenges for their smiles. While medications and sufficient rest aid in overcoming a cold, it&#8217;s easy to unintentionally overlook their oral hygiene. To ensure your child emerges from the cold and flu season with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delreydds.com\/childrens-dentistry.html\">teeth<\/a> intact, adhere to these four tips for maintaining their oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #1: Brush Their Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While parents may face challenges in ensuring their little ones continue to brush their teeth twice a day during illness, maintaining good oral health routines is crucial during recovery. If they encounter difficulties or refuse to go to the bathroom for brushing, consider bringing their toothbrush, toothpaste, a cup to spit in, and a cup of water to rinse with. This way, you can assist them in brushing their teeth without them needing to leave their bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2: Gargle with Salt Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Encourage your child to gargle with salt water once a day to effectively combat germs in their mouth and throat. This simple practice can contribute to a faster healing process, particularly if they are dealing with a sore throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3: Drink Plenty of Fluids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your child has a congested nose, they likely resort to breathing through their mouth, leading to increased dryness and reduced saliva production. Encouraging them to consume ample water not only aids in their recovery but also promotes more effective saliva generation, helping wash away harmful oral bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #4: Change Their Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after your child has completely recovered, bacteria can linger on their toothbrush. Consider discarding their old toothbrush and replacing it with a new one to prevent potential reinfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child has specific preferences for their toothbrush or you can&#8217;t immediately obtain a new one, sanitize it by boiling it in hot water to eliminate germs. Moreover, ensure their toothbrush is kept separate from those of other family members while they are sick to prevent the spread of the illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementing the provided tips can assist your child in preventing oral health issues during illness. By following these guidelines, they can navigate the challenges of cold and flu season and emerge with a radiant smile that remains as charming as ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Dey Rey Dental, Dr. Andrew Tadros and the dedicated team deliver compassionate and confident care for the entire family.
