What should I do if my child’s teeth are crooked? These tips are very effective

Every parent hopes that their children will have neat and beautiful teeth, but many times things don't go as planned. When you find that your child's teeth are crooked, I believe you must be very anxious. What methods can be used to remedy the situation in time?

1. Even if your baby's teeth have not yet grown, you should start cleaning your baby's mouth carefully. Wrap your finger in a warm, damp washcloth or gauze and gently wipe your baby's mouth and gums after each feeding. You can also buy some soft-gel gadgets on the market that fit the size of your index finger and are great for cleaning excess food out of your baby's mouth.

2. Once the baby's teeth grow out, dental care should be carried out immediately. Many parents may think that these teeth are not important because they will eventually fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth. But these teeth are actually very important because they provide space for permanent teeth and also help babies chew and speak. Without proper care, problems such as tooth decay and gingivitis may occur.

3. Be careful about tooth cavities. The first signs of cavities in your baby's teeth are changes in tooth color and small pits. Never let your baby suck on a bottle for a long time.

4. Give your baby water after each feeding. Most baby food can be rinsed off with water after a meal, but it is best to use a baby-specific soft-gel toothbrush for careful cleaning, especially after the baby has eaten sticky sweets.

5. After the baby is about two years old, you can start using a small amount of children's fluoride-free toothpaste. When your baby is about two years old and can no longer swallow toothpaste, you can start using a small amount of fluoride-free children's toothpaste when brushing his teeth.
