DENTAL ADVICE

Caring for children's teeth is essential to ensuring good oral health from an early age. These tips for caring parents will help you take care of your children's teeth properly.

It starts from an early age

Dental care should begin during the first months of life. Wipe your baby's gums with a soft cloth or damp gauze after each meal to remove food debris and potential bacteria.

Introduce the toothbrush

When your baby's first teeth emerge, around 6 months, start using a soft toothbrush with a small head. Use clean water and gently brush your child's teeth twice a day.

Use the appropriate toothpaste

Starting at age 2, start using children's toothpaste with an appropriate amount of fluoride. Make sure you only use a small amount, equivalent to a grain of rice, and teach your child to spit it out instead of swallowing it.

Supervise brushing

Until your child can brush their teeth independently with good technique, it is important to supervise brushing. Make sure your child brushes all teeth, including the back teeth, for at least two minutes.

Limit sugary foods

Reduce your child's consumption of sugary foods and drinks. Sugars can contribute to the formation of cavities. Instead, promote a balanced diet with healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products.

Avoid bottles in bed

Avoid putting your baby to sleep with a bottle containing milk or fruit juice. Prolonged exposure to sugary liquids can cause so-called "baby bottle tooth decay" which damages the child's teeth.

Scheduling visits to the dentist

Schedule your child's first dentist visit within the first year of age or as soon as the first teeth emerge. The dentist will be able to evaluate the child's oral health, provide specific advice and instructions on dental care at home.

Education and example

Teach your child the importance of good oral hygiene. Explain the importance of regular brushing, flossing, and a healthy diet. Set a good example by brushing your teeth together with the child.

Schedule regular dentist visits for your child

Periodic checkups allow the dentist to monitor the health of your child's teeth, detect any problems early and provide preventative treatments.

Protect your teeth during sporting activities

If your child plays contact sports or are at high risk of trauma, consider using a protective mask to protect their teeth from injury.

Avoid the habit of thumb or pacifier sucking

Prolonged thumb or pacifier sucking can affect the proper growth and development of your teeth. Try to limit or gradually eliminate these habits to preserve your child's oral health.

Establish an oral hygiene routine

Create a regular oral hygiene routine for your child that includes brushing in the morning and at bedtime, as well as flossing. This routine will help establish healthy habits and maintain good oral health in the long term.

Remember that every child is unique, so you may need to adapt these tips to suit your child's specific needs. Always consult your dentist to receive personalized advice on caring for children's teeth.

Taking care of children's teeth from an early age is essential to ensuring good oral health and promoting lasting hygiene habits. Investing time and energy in caring for your children's teeth now will help them maintain a healthy, bright smile for a lifetime.
