  1. HOW PARENTS CAN ENSURE BETTER ORAL HEALTH OF THEIR CHILDREN?

  2. Nothing can light up a room like your child’s bright, shining smile.

  3. Keeping that smile healthy can be a challenge if your child doesn’t brush their teeth.

  4. Good oral hygiene is vital for kids and adults alike.

  5. Here are some handy tips you can use to keep your child’s teeth & gums healthy.

  6. Even before your infant begins teething, you should wipe their gums with a damp washcloth after feeding. START YOUNG

  7. Use an infant toothbrush & small amount of FDA approved fluoride toothpaste to brush their first tooth.

  8. Once they develop two teeth that touch, you can start flossing them gently.

  9. You should establish routines that limit their chances of developing tooth decay.

  10. Most importantly, you should take your infant to a dentist before their first birthday.

  11. Once your child becomes old enough, you should help them develop & stick to a good oral care routine. ESTABLISH AN ORAL CARE ROUTINE

  12. Make sure your child brushes twice & flosses once daily, preferably at the same time each day.

  13. Brushing your own teeth with or in front of your child will also help them develop good dental habits.

  14. If your child sees you brushing often, there is a good chance they will imitate you.

  15. You should be sure to schedule regular dentist appointments for your child, like routine check-ups.

  16. Juice, sugary food, and sticky candy can all cause serious damage to tooth enamel. REGULATE FOOD & TOOTHPASTE CHOICE

  17. Sweet liquid medicines, while sometimes necessary, can also cause tooth decay.

  18. You should also ensure that your child is using the right type and amount of toothpaste.

  19. Get your child a fluoride toothpaste as well as asking your dentist for fluoride supplements.

  20. Don’t give your child too much fluoride as it can cause tooth discoloration.
