Caring for and maintaining dental health does not only apply when someone is an adult. Since someone is still a baby, parents need to accustom their children to care for and maintain healthy teeth.
Caring for your teeth can be started when your baby has teeth for the first time or even earlier. The goal is for the baby's teeth to be clean, healthy, and strong until they are adults. Teeth that are not properly cared for can cause various health problems.
Here are some easy ways that parents can do to take care of the health of their baby's teeth, especially for babies who are just teething. Listen carefully, Mom.
Brush Teeth Twice a Day
Since teething is even earlier, Mom can get her baby used to brushing her teeth. No need to worry about injuring the baby's gums. At the earliest possible age, we can brush the baby's teeth with a special toothbrush. Even if Mom is worried about using a toothbrush, Mom can use gauze soaked in warm water to clean the baby's teeth and gums.
Use Special Toothpaste
Try to use special toothpaste for babies in caring for their teeth. Special baby toothpaste is designed for the needs of babies. It has a low risk of causing allergies and other health problems.
Make Toothbrush Events as Fun as Possible
Make the toothbrush event as fun as possible for the baby. When children brush their teeth in a fun way, this will make them comfortable and diligent about brushing their teeth. This will also make it easier for Mom to clean her baby's teeth.
Give Example
Make sure to set a good example for your baby. Including examples of brushing or caring for teeth. Children tend to imitate what the adults around them do. Including imitating good habits in caring for teeth.
Avoid letting babies sleep by drinking milk
Does Mom have a habit of giving her baby milk when she sleeps? If so, try to reduce and even stop this from now on. Letting the baby sleep while drinking bottled milk will be prone to damage his teeth. It is also prone to make it easier for bacteria that cause dental problems to multiply.
Those are some easy ways you can do to take care of the health of your newly growing baby's teeth. I hope this information is helpful.
