Any ideas or suggestions? I'm talking about after the checkup. Anything at all?

kids in china visit the dentist? i work in a kidergarten, high end too, and let me tell you ive never seen so many rotten teeth in my life.
Parents here don't seem to see a dentist as essential for their children. There was one little boy I had in a class, all of his baby teeth are rotted. They probably don't know that healthy baby teeth lead to healthy adult teeth that grow in properly. So all those kids will have crooked teeth at best. Because they didn't learn proper care when they are young, then they won't take care of their adult teeth either, and the problem continues. So it doesn't matter if the dentist gives anything afterwards, since they either don't go, or they don't use what they get. I don't floss very often, but at least I brush. Also, proper hygiene, and drinking plenty of water, gives you fresh breath.
