FAQs Regarding Kids & Babies Dental Health
Babies are not born with cavity causing bacteria. Oral bacteria are transferred from parent to baby during every day activities such as hugging, kissing, cuddling, and playing. It’s essential for parents to keep meticulous oral hygiene of their own while waiting for your baby’s teeth to erupt.
It is a good habit to clean your baby’s gums after every feeding. This lowers bacteria count in the baby’s mouth and keeps his/her oral environment clean while waiting for those first two teeth to come in.
Cleaning your baby’s gums is easy. Take a soft piece of cloth or a piece of gauze, dampen it and gently wipe the gum pads of your baby’s mouth. It’s also recommended to not give your baby juices or milk at nap time, especially in a bottle. Instead, try enforcing water. This helps to avoid future tooth decay.
As soon as the first tooth comes through! Use a soft, infant-sized toothbrush and a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice). Start gentle brushing twice a day, especially after the last feed at night.
Just like adults, children should have regular dental check-ups every 6 to 12 months, depending on their needs. Routine visits help prevent problems and keep little smiles healthy.
Good brushing habits, a healthy low-sugar diet, regular dental visits, and fluoride toothpaste all play a role.
