How to protect children's teeth

In our daily life, we always see that many babies are relatively young but their teeth are corroded and damaged. This will seriously affect the child’s normal diet and add a certain burden to the stomach. If you pay more attention to protecting your child’s teeth, you can avoid such problems. Let’s learn about the methods of protecting children’s teeth.

How to protect children's teeth

First: Choose the most suitable toothpaste

1. The viscosity of the toothpaste must be moderate. Finally, it should be formed into strips from the tube and covered on the toothbrush. This will not only perfectly cover the teeth, but also avoid splashing.

2. Moderate friction. Toothpaste has a certain friction, but the force must be moderate. It should be able to clean teeth well but not damage the tooth enamel.

3. The paste must be stable, especially during storage, it should not produce water or become hard, and the acidity and alkalinity must also remain stable.

4. Medicated toothpaste must be used within its validity period.

5. The toothpaste paste should remain smooth and beautiful, and no bubbles should appear.

6. During the brushing process, bubbles can be generated appropriately, which can better eliminate food fragments suspended in the teeth and effectively reduce the growth of bacteria.

7. It is best to choose a big brand, which is more trustworthy and the taste should be suitable.

Second: Choose a high-quality toothbrush

There are many requirements for choosing a toothbrush. Not only do you need to consider the overall appearance, but you also need to consider the bristles and the size of the toothbrush, etc. This will help protect our teeth better and ensure the healthy development of children's teeth. The specific requirements are as follows:

Toothbrush appearance: It is best to choose a brush head that is shorter and narrower, the toothbrush handle should be flat and straight, and the toothbrush surface should be flat.

There are many plate-shaped toothbrushes on the market, which have wide brush heads, very fine and dense bristles with small spacing in between. This type of toothbrush is relatively cheap, but the editor does not recommend that you use it. Because this type of toothbrush can easily damage our teeth and gums when brushing our teeth, and in severe cases it can also cause tooth chips and gum atrophy. In addition, this type of toothbrush cannot clean our back teeth well. If this situation continues for a long time, food residues cannot be removed well, causing bacteria to grow in the mouth and damage the teeth.

Tooth damage is a slow process and we cannot see the results in a short period of time. Many people think that this plate-shaped toothbrush is very easy to use and can save time. This is actually a very wrong view. Using it for a long time will cause great damage to our teeth.

The above is an introduction to how to protect children's teeth. After understanding it, we know that to protect children's teeth, we must also pay attention to oral hygiene. Don't always think that children are too young to brush their teeth. In addition, we must let children eat more foods containing calcium and vitamin C in daily life, and don't let children eat large amounts of candy.
