            A Quick and Easy Guide to Maintain Your Child’s Oral Health



Early childhood is the prime time to establish a healthy lifestyle. It is essential to integrate oral hygiene into the general health habits of children from the beginning so they are conscious of their dental care.

Tooth decay is commonly increasing in Indian children as more than half of 6 years old are having tooth decay in baby teeth or adult teeth. Tooth decay not only destroys a tooth but also causes crowding problems in adult teeth at a later stage. Thus, it is vital to care for your child’s teeth from as early as they start teething.

 

ü  Start Caring at an Early Age

·         Brushing teeth twice a day with circular motions.

·         Praise your child for brushing teeth itself as it will instill confidence in the child.

·         Replace the toothbrush of your child every 3 months.

·         Supervise them in flossing until they are 10 and demonstrate the process yourself.
