Water Picks
All Kids Dental would love to partner with you!
Every child deserves a healthy smile and we would like to help you ensure optimal oral health for your children!
Our goal is to address and overcome barriers to oral healthcare for children through outreach and education.
We want to create a fun atmosphere to educate and train adolescents on how to care for their teeth where it will make a lasting impact.
Our registered hygienist will provide all the materials needed for the presentation, and distribute dental supplies according to how many children are in each class.
Untreated tooth decay in children causes pain and infection that leads to more missed school days and lower academic performance. We believe in collaborating with school systems, parents and caregivers to ensure that children are in good oral health and ready to learn.
Here is what we have to offer:
- School presentation
- Dentist for a Day (activities and pretend play)
- Dental Screening
To request more info on how to set up one of these events with All Kids Dental, Please contact us!
There is never a suitable substitute for daily brushing and flossing.
While some products, including water irrigation devices (or “water picks”), may be useful for specific applications, they may not be as effective as traditional flossing in the removal of plaque.
Water picks use powerful tiny bursts of water to blast away food particles and other debris in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. Dentists use professional-grade water picks when preparing a tooth for restoration, or in general cleaning and exams.
People with painful gum disease or highly sensitive gums may find water picks useful for supplementing their brushing regimen. People with orthodontia, including braces, have found water picks quite useful because toothbrush bristles often get stuck.
