  2. Importance of Advanced Dental Care for Children Proper dental care for children is very important so that their teeth stay healthy even when they grow up. Many parents are not sure about the age when they need to start taking care of their child’s teeth. As per a study, researchers are recommending regular dental visits starting at about one year of age. The first dental visit is important for both the child and the parent. A child’s first visit will give them a chance to become comfortable with a dentist and the parent can learn more about the dental care for their children.The dentist will provide instructions about tooth brushing, information on diet, dental hygiene and can also advice on some advanced dental care. For a child, regular tooth brushing should start as soon as the first tooth appears. Most of the dental associations recommend brushing at least twice daily with a soft children's toothbrush and a non-fluoride toothpaste. From three years of age, children should start daily flossing at bedtime and a small amount of fluoride toothpaste should be introduced as they generally have all of their baby teeth by this age. As children grow, they need to take a more active part in taking care of their teeth, however parental guidance is suggested to ensure that brushing and flossing are done correctly.

  3. Importance of Advanced Dental Care for Children The biggest concern these days for childhood tooth decay is diet. Studies have shown that tooth decay can be largely eliminated by avoiding the consumption of foods like candy, soft drinks, sweets and sticky snacks. These kind of foods have high content of sugar which promotes the growth of acid forming bacteria that damages the protective tooth enamel and will lead to cavities. Eating high fiber foods like apples, cereal and carrots offer many benefits to dental health. Also, foods like nuts, milk and meat help in restoring calcium and phosphorus which are the two main minerals required for healthy teeth. Healthy teeth will help your child to speak correctly without hesitating about having cavity teeth. This will improve the confidence and self-esteem of the child. Parents should play an important role in supervising the child on dental care. Studies have shown that children with healthy teeth have a better overall health. Once the child gets used to the dental care routine, it becomes a normal habit to take care of his or her teeth. This will lay a foundation for maintaining a lifetime of good dental practices.
