February is National Children's Dental Health Month
February 2026 is your chance to make great dental care part of your family’s everyday routine to ensure bright smiles for years to come.
February puts kids’ dental health in the spotlight, but building strong smile habits is something families should be doing all year long. From easy daily routines to smart savings through Union Plus partners like Careington, this month is your chance to make great dental care part of your family’s everyday life to ensure they have a bright smile for years to come.
February is National Children’s Dental Health Month! Take the time this month to help your children understand the importance of oral health. As their teeth begin developing, it is important to establish healthy teeth cleaning habits. Here are a few fun tips that are going to introduce your kids to a healthy smile:
- Be a role model: There is no doubt that kids like to imitate those around them. Be a good role model and demonstrate good oral health habits. Help them understand the importance of oral health by taking the time to properly teach them how to brush and floss.
- Schedule dental appointments: Did you know it is recommended to see a dentist at least twice a year? Schedule routine dental appointments for your child and ensure they are getting the checkups and treatments their growing teeth deserve.
- Eat healthy, delicious foods: We get it, your child may not be the biggest fan of fruits and veggies. However, avoiding sugary drinks and foods not only helps overall health, but it can help avoid cavities.
- Use rewards: Incorporate these simple tips to your child’s dental routine by offering them a reward. Set goals and track their progress. Once a goal is met, you can treat them to a movie or a trip to the toy store.
