Take early care of your children’s teeth
Well, many parents think that it’s too early to teach children how to take care of their teeth, but it is not like that. However, many parents are unaware of the fact that the time to start daily cleanings is before babies have any teeth at all. We have to teach them in the early stages itself to take proper care of their teeth. Here are some tips that will help you to guide your child.
1) A whopping 15% of kids have baby bottle cavities, received after going to bed with a baby bottle. Cut this habit.
2) It is a general belief that choclates is the worst thing for children’s teeth, in actuality, any foods that contains sugar or carbohydrates that can be broken down by the bacteria in a child’s mouth can cause cavities. So, the cookies can be worse for teeth than candy.
3) Use an open cup instead of a chippy cup as kids don’t suck on it and hence there will be less sugar on the mouth longer.
4) Children should be given fluoridated toothpaste after their second birthday. Fluoride can be harmful to your child. Feed your child on green leafy vegetables which itself is high in fluoride.
5) Incurred the habit in your child of brushing while looking at the mirror. In this way a child will enjoy the whole process of brushing and can remove a lot more plaque.

Proper dental care begins even before a baby’s first tooth appears. Once your child is preschool-age, start using fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride helps make teeth strong by hardening the tooth enamel.

Wiping your baby’s gums with a soft damp cloth after feedings helps to prevent the buildup of bacteria in teeth and when teeth appear, you can start using a soft toothbrush twice a day.

Teeth is the most important part of our face which also plays a role in our looks and if they are not good enough then it is not all taken as a good sign and indirectly lowers down our image in front of others. So its better we make the child understand the importance of teeth and keep them clean, white and stay healthy by cleaning it in a daily basis.

When a child loses his temporary teeth early, problems with spacing, moving and turning teeth sometimes occur. The minute they begin to appear, primary teeth can easily be prone to cavities and so you should take care of them by cleaning them regularly.
