KIDS' DENTAL HYGIENE

You are most concerned about our child's well-being, and oral hygiene is a crucial element of their general health. You may set your child on the right path for a lifetime of good oral hygiene by taking care of his or her teeth and gums.

Oral Hygiene for Children

Babies are born with all of their teeth, which are buried underneath the gums and are not visible. Around the age of six months, baby teeth begin to burst through the gums, but it is critical to begin proper oral hygiene for infants even before the first tooth appears. Healthy gums lead to healthy teeth.

• After feeding, wipe your baby's gums with a soft washcloth. This aids in the removal of microorganisms that might lead to tooth decay.
• Brush teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste in a smear the size of a grain of rice, using a soft-bristle toothbrush, once they start to erupt.
• To avoid infant bottle teeth decay, put the bottle aside when your child has finished drinking. When newborns consume milk, formula, or juice from bottles for lengthy periods of time or fall asleep with the bottle, they can develop tooth decay.
• Make an appointment for your child's first dental visit before their first birthday or when their first baby tooth appears, whichever comes first. This appointment is similar to a well-baby checkup with your paediatrician.

Children's Oral Hygiene

Children's oral hygiene practises should develop in tandem with their maturation.

By the age of three, children have lost all of their baby teeth. These are referred to as main teeth. Around the age of six, baby teeth begin to fall out, and the permanent, or adult, teeth begin to emerge. It's common for newborn teeth to have gaps between them. They clear the way for the permanent teeth to come in. By the age of 13, the majority of permanent teeth have emerged.

Creating the Best Children's Oral Hygiene Routine

Starting at the age of three, here are some tips to help maintain your child's teeth healthy and strong:

• Brush your child's teeth with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste and make sure he or she spits it out.
• Make sure your child brushes twice a day for at least 2 minutes.
• Start flossing as soon as your teeth come into contact, or even sooner, to help you develop excellent habits.
• Assist your child in brushing and flossing, and tell him or her to focus on the back teeth.
• Every six months, go to the dentist.

As children become older and more of their permanent teeth come in, it's more important than ever to maintain a strict daily dental hygiene routine to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Preteens, on the other hand, can be challenging to maintain motivated in dental hygiene.

To help your youngster stay on track, try the following suggestions:

• It's important to remind preteens that good dental hygiene can help them look and feel better as they become more self-conscious of their appearance.
• Remind your child to brush for two minutes twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste, which not only prevents cavities and strengthens teeth, but also gives older children confidence in their breath. Brushing with a power toothbrush could be more enjoyable for preteens.
• Flossing is critical at this age since the majority of permanent teeth have emerged, and cleaning between them will help prevent cavities and keep their mouth fresh.
• Encourage youngsters who participate in sports to use a mouth guard to protect their teeth.
• To eliminate white spots on teeth when braces come off, make sure your child uses a power brush and flosses thoroughly.
