How to take care of children's teeth?

I remember when I was a child and was about to change my teeth, my elders told me: if the upper teeth fall out, they should be thrown under the bed, and if the lower teeth fall out, they should be thrown onto the roof, so that the teeth can grow back. And when throwing, the person must be upright so that the teeth can grow straight. Thinking about it now makes me smile foolishly. Dental care is not only about replacing teeth, but is an all-round matter at all stages. If you want your children to have healthy teeth, please learn how to take care of your children's teeth with me.

First of all, we need to cultivate good habits for our babies and encourage them to eat less candy, chocolate and other sweets. Give your baby water to drink after each feeding. Most baby food can be washed off by drinking water after meals, but it is best to use a baby-specific toothbrush for careful cleaning. It is best to wash the teeth of babies aged 0-1 year old frequently with cotton yarn. Be sure to do it gently so as not to cause the baby to be disgusted. It is best to stop feeding babies aged 1-3 years old before going to bed. If not, make sure to feed them water after drinking milk.

Of course, the above methods are only temporary solutions and the best way is to train your children to brush their teeth from an early age. Once your baby's teeth have grown, dental care should be performed immediately. Babies over one year old can be guided to brush their teeth every day, or at least be trained to brush their teeth before going to bed. After your baby is about two years old, you can start using a small amount of children's non-fluoridated toothpaste. Take your baby to the dentist regularly to have his teeth checked or cleaned.

So how do you choose a toothbrush? For younger babies, you should choose a cotton toothbrush and brush their teeth with clean water, or choose a children's toothpaste that can be swallowed, just the size of a mung bean will do. For babies around 3 years old, you can choose toothbrushes with softer bristles to brush their teeth. The toothpaste must not contain fluoride, otherwise the baby will swallow it, which is bad for the body. So how do you get your baby into the habit of brushing their teeth? Babies aged 1-3 years old especially like to imitate, so mom and dad must set an example for their babies by brushing their teeth in the morning and evening.

Then you can buy some books and toys to guide your baby to brush his teeth. After your efforts, your baby will definitely love brushing his teeth. So how to brush teeth? You need to teach your baby the correct way to brush teeth. Don’t brush teeth randomly, as it is more likely to damage the baby’s gums. You need to guide your baby to brush teeth gently, spit out the water used for rinsing the mouth, and guide your baby to clean all the teeth. Of course, this job cannot be done overnight and requires gradual cultivation.

Because children are ignorant and only know how to eat, drink, play and sleep, they don’t know how to protect their teeth. Now that we have learned so much about dental care, parents must pay more attention to their children’s teeth. Don't have a mouth full of beard teeth when you meet strangers, but take care of yourself until you have "iron teeth and copper teeth" when you grow up. What is our goal: Healthy teeth.
