Looking after your child’s very first tooth sets an important precedent as it sets the tone for future oral hygiene. Ensure that you get a special baby toothbrush to see them through the first few milk teeth, and don’t brush too hard. Indeed, take advice from family and friends and carefully read the instructions before even starting to brush your child’s first teeth. This might be seen when an expectant woman having gum disease, makes a pre-mature deliver or the baby is very much in weight etc.
To keep the oral health at its prime, the child should follow all the fundamental steps recommended by almost all the dentists. This avoids the incidence of dental problems like gingivitis, halitosis, tartar and gum diseases. Apart from proper brushing, the other hygienic methods like the right method of flossing and using the mouthwash have to be taught.
The American Dental Association even advises the parents of a new born to start cleaning their newborn child’s mouth within few days after birth. It is very important for the clarity of speech and chewing action in the kids.
Tooth being sensitive to cold and hot, toothache, experiencing pain while eating, visible hole or cavities in teeth and pus around the area of infected teeth are regarded as common symptoms of dental caries. The children can be encouraged to brush by changing the color and appearance of toothpastes. Most of the children do like to brush with a fluoride toothpaste but they should be able to spit after brushing. Also, the children need to brush twice a day.
Eating snacks made of sugar and carbohydrates needs to be avoided if not at least the teeth should be brushed properly after eating them. It is a good idea to eat nutrition rich food like vegetable, fruits etc instead of sugar candies as they both provide the required nutrition and also strengthens the teeth due to the chewing action.
Parents of young children schedule regular oral health checkups around the first birthday of the kid. A pediatric dentist should be ideal choice for children. The baby’s gums and teeth can be wiped with a wet washcloth after each meal to help removing plaque that gets accumulated on the gums and teeth. Speak to your peers to find out where they took their child and share experiences with others once you have been through the process.
Do it right and your child will visit the dentist on a regular basis without any fear or trepidation, ensuring that they maintain a lifelong habit of good oral hygiene.
