For parents wondering when their child should start taking care of their oral health, here are some tips you need to know!
What is the most appropriate way to clean a newborn baby?
Even though your child's baby teeth haven't come in yet, parents can start taking care of their child's oral health from an early age by using a gauze soaked in warm water to wipe away milk residue on their child's gums to help clean and prevent the accumulation of germs in the mouth. When the first baby tooth comes in around 6 months of age, parents should start brushing their child's teeth to prevent dental health problems from a young age.
Dental care at this age is very important as it lays the foundation for good oral health in the future. Choosing the right toothbrush and toothpaste for your child's age plays an important role in preventing tooth decay and helping to strengthen their teeth. Your child's teeth should be brushed regularly at least twice a day, in the morning and before bed.
To ensure that your child's dental health is complete, parents should take their child to see a dentist for a dental checkup every 6 months to ensure that their child's teeth and gums are healthy and strong.
Taking care of your child's dental health is easy and has a significant impact on their long-term health. Healthy teeth are the foundation for good health in the future. Let's help create good dental care habits for your child for healthy and age-appropriate growth!
