And speaking of water\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Water bottles everywhere<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: in backpacks, purses, and cars. Anything you or your child drinks that isn\u2019t water\u2014in other words, any liquid that tastes good\u2014is either acidic or will turn into the acids that cause <a href=\"\/services\/family-dentistry\/\">tooth decay<\/a>. Teach kids to swish and spit with water after food and non-water beverages.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Gum with xylitol for a treat<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Xylitol has been shown to prevent <a href=\"\/services\/family-dentistry\/#ToothColoredFillings\">cavities<\/a>. Read those labels, you may be pleasantly surprised!<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Dental travel kits for the car<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: fill them with water, extra toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, healthy snacks, and reusable straws. (Why straws? They help sugar from coating kids\u2019 teeth.)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Interactive toothbrushes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: fluoride toothpaste is a lot more fun if your toothbrush speaks like a favorite movie character, makes cool noises, or plays a song.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a dentist that sees kids in the Goose Creek area, <a href=\"\/contact-us\/\">make an appointment with Carolina Complete Dental Care<\/a> today!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The content of this blog is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
