They may not want to do them, but they have to. Like\u2014dare we say it\u2014brushing and flossing their teeth? But does it have to be this way? Not if you bring your children to see Hillsboro kids dentist Dr. Michael Royse at Dentists at Orenco for Kids. As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Royse has a few tricks up his sleeve to make oral healthcare more fun for children and parents.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Make Oral Hygiene a Family Affair<\/h2>\n<p>Once your children are old enough to brush their own teeth\u2014usually around the age of seven or eight\u2014don\u2019t let them brush alone. Even if their bedtime is a few hours before yours, there\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with brushing your teeth twice in a night! You\u2019re certainly familiar with the saying, \u201cmonkey see monkey do.\u201d Well, if your children see you make brushing and flossing a priority, then they are more likely to do the same.<\/p>\n<h2>Play Pretend Before a Trip to the Dentist<\/h2>\n<p>If your children are toddlers, then some play-acting before a visit to Dr. Royse\u2019s office can be very helpful. All you need is a toothbrush and a favorite doll of stuffed animal. Pretend the toy is the patient and you\u2019re the dentist. Show your child how the dentist looks at their teeth, counts their teeth and cleans their teeth. Then, let your child be the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colgate.com\/en\/us\/oc\/oral-health\/basics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dentist<\/a>. Children are often more at ease when they know what to expect.<\/p>\n<h2>Visiting the Dentist for the First Time<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Royse would like to see your child for a \u201chappy visit\u201d around the time that his or her first tooth appears, or by the time they\u2019re one year old. This visit is simply a chance for the Hillsboro children\u2019s dentist to visually examine their mouth to ensure that teeth and gums are healthy. At these visits, children are often most comfortable sitting in mommy or daddy\u2019s lap and that\u2019s just fine with us. We want your children to always have happy memories of seeing the dentist.<\/p>\n<p>As your child matures, their dental checkups will become more and more like yours. We\u2019ll take digital x-rays annually to find any hidden spots of decay and we\u2019ll clean and polish their teeth. Dr. Royse will keep a close watch on your children\u2019s developing smiles and recommend any additional services.<\/p>\n<p>Each visit to Dentists at Orenco for Kids concludes with a trip to our treasure chest of small toys where they can choose one to take home with them.<\/p>\n<h2>Call Our Office Today<\/h2>\n<p>If you have any questions about your children\u2019s oral health, or if you need to schedule a dental checkup, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistsatorencoforkids.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact Dentists at Orenco for Kids today.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s face it\u2014sometimes parents just have to make their kids do things.
