Early age dental care
It is very important that children brush their teeth three times a day and avoid excessive consumption of soft drinks and sweet foods. If they don't, decay will result which leads to fillings in their teeth and even tooth loss.
Dental health care starts as soon as babies get their first teeth.
Babies' teeth should be cleaned with a clean cloth as soon as they
show through gums. Parents should avoid putting sweet liquids in
baby bottles, especially before bed. If a baby needs a bottle at
night only water should be used.
Junior toothpaste is recommended until children begin school.
A well balanced diet is very important in stopping tooth decay
so processed snack foods and soft drinks should be avoided unless
children can clean their teeth directly after eating.
And, don't forget to make sure your child has regular dental check-ups.
