FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.couriersun.com february 20, 2014 • The Courier sun 19 February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, and it’s a good time for parents and children to renew a commitment to healthy dental habits. Fidelis Care offers the following tips to keep teeth healthy and strong as children grow: Brushing and Flossing • Starting with the first tooth, parents can use a soft cloth, or brush, and water for baby teeth. • Fluoride toothpaste can be used after age 2. Parents can brush children’s teeth and begin to teach good habits, including flossing, until children can brush and floss on their own. • Brush at least twice a day to remove plaque. • Floss daily. Flossing does what brushing can’t. It cleans spaces between teeth that toothbrushes can’t reach. Eating hEalthy Foods • Don’t give toddlers juice or sugary liquids in bottles or sippy cups at bedtime. Sugars can stay on the teeth overnight and cause decay. • Children should eat healthy foods with protein, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and D. • Choose “teeth-friendly” snacks such as cheese, raw vegetables, plain yogurt, and fruit. Avoid sugary snacks. • Soda can damage teeth. If children do drink soda, choose a sugar-free soda and use a straw to avoid contact with teeth. Visiting thE dEntist • All children should have at least one visit to the dentist every year. • Children can begin checkups at the first tooth, but no later than age 1. • Ask your child’s dentist about fluoride varnish or sealant for extra teeth protection. Children are most likely to be seen regularly by a dentist when they have health insurance. Almost all children up to age 19 in New York State qualify for free or low-cost health insurance through the State-sponsored program Child Health Plus, offered by Fidelis Care. Routine, preventive, and emergency dental care are covered benefits when seeking care from a qualified participating dental services provider. give Kids something to SMILE about Fidelis Care Offers Tips for Good Oral Health For more information or to apply for enrollment throughout the year, call 1-888-FIDELIS (1-888-343-3547), visit fideliscare.org, or meet with a representative at a Fidelis Care Community Office: Bronx Community Office: 815 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460, 718-896-2531 Chinatown Community Office: 168 Canal Street, Suite 308, New York, NY 10013, 212-226-6157 Flushing Community Office: 36-36 Main Street, Suite 2SB, Flushing, NY 11354, 718-896-4511 Inwood Community Office: 100-02 Post Avenue, New York, NY 10034, 212-942-3111 Sunset Park Community Office: 837 58th Street, 4th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11220, 718-633-5308 st of the 2013 THE QUEENS QueensCourier.com Place LIC - 1416972 VV HomeINC New WE SPECIALIZE IN: • Accurate and Firm Estimates VeeV constructioninc • Kitchen, Bath & Apartment Remodeling • Fine Cabinetry, Built-Ins & Custom Furniture • In-House Design Services • Landmark Co-op/Condo Renovations • Complete Plumbing, Electric & HVAC WHOLESALE & RETAIL OF KITCHEN & BATH CABINETS WE HAVE IT ALL HERE!!!
