 To have a beautiful smile all their lives, it is necessary to teach babies to oral hygiene from an early age. Therefore, you are parents, should be an example for your baby! It depends only on the parents whether the child will be accustomed to brushing his teeth, washing his face, rinsing his mouth. Make the process of caring for your baby's teeth fun and exciting. Include all your imagination, come up with game elements, demonstrate your own attitude to brushing your teeth.
Tell your child more often that dental care is necessary and obligatory for all children.
It is necessary to accustom the child to regular periodic check-ups with the dentist. The kid must learn that prevention is very important for his teeth. If a child starts visiting a dentist from an early age, then in the future he will not be afraid of him. Try to take your baby to the doctor with whom he has a trusting relationship.
In addition to regular checkups with the dentist, it is necessary to teach your baby about hygiene. Teaching your child to care for their teeth will take some effort. Here are some guidelines for parents:
1. First, you yourself must brush your child's teeth. This procedure should be carried out twice a day. Preferably in the morning after getting up and in the evening before bedtime. You need to brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes. You should not raise your voice to the child if he does not want to perform this procedure.
2. The toothbrush should have very soft bristles. The brush head should not be very large. For a small child, buy only baby brushes that are designed for a specific age.
3. To brush the teeth of a child, you need only a special paste for children. Better to buy baby toothpaste at the pharmacy. Specialists will select a baby brush and toothpaste that is suitable for the child's age.
4. To brush your teeth, you need to let the child squeeze the paste onto the brush himself. Let him get used to helping you. You need to brush your teeth using only warm water. Do not press hard, try to make soft movements. Remember to massage your gums gently as well. But, only using a small brush. Otherwise, you could injure your baby's mouth.
5. Until the child turns five, you will have to brush his teeth yourself. Then, the baby must do it on his own. But, you must always be with him. You need to make sure that he correctly performs all the necessary procedure.
6. You need to change your toothbrush every 3 months. When buying a new brush, try to buy the model that your child likes best.
7. To rinse your mouth, you need to pick up a glass with a bright pattern for your child. It's even better if you buy the glass as a toy. If the child likes a glass, he will be happy to rinse his mouth out of his favorite glass.
8. From the age of 10, a child can start using dental floss. But always under your control.
Remember that your baby's toothpaste, brush and glass should be kept separate. Try to buy only quality dental care products. Instead of solid caramel, it is better to give the child a juicy apple to gnaw. Do not give your child sugar-fortified foods and drinks. Limit your intake of various sweets. It should be reminded that regular visits to the dentist will help your child reach adulthood with healthy and strong teeth!
