1. Start early: It is important to start dental care early for children, even before the first tooth appears. Wiping the gums with a soft, damp cloth after feedings can help in removing bacteria and preventing decay.
2. Regular Dental check-ups: Ideally, children should have their first dental check-up by their first birthday. Regular check-ups every six months can help in detecting any dental issues early on.
3. Brushing and flossing: Once your child’s first tooth appears, it is important to brush it with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste twice a day. Flossing is also advised as soon as the teeth start touching each other.
4. Fluoride treatments: Fluoride treatments help in strengthening the teeth and preventing decay. It is important to discuss fluoride treatment with your child’s dentist.
5. Healthy diet: A diet that is high in sugar and processed foods which can contribute to tooth decay should be totally avoided. Encourage your children to follow a healthy diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains which helps promote good dental health.
6. Sealants: Dental sealants can help to protect the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where tooth decay is most common.
7. Lead by example: Children often follow the behavior of adults around them and learn by example, and seeing their parents practicing good dental hygiene can encourage them to do the same.
