Dentist Sends A School Boy Home Crying And His Mom Was Furious To See What Had Happened

Early Checkup

You must make sure that your child has visited a dentist before having a first birthday. Early preventive care will be wise for your pockets in the years to come. A CDC report reveals that the cost if 40% lower over a 5-year period if the child sees a dentist before reaching age 5. So if you want to avoid rushing to the dental chambers in the future, we suggest you go early.

Teach Good Habits

Brushing is important from the start. Always make sure that you brush your child’s teeth, imbibe in them this habit so that their gums and teeth are strong. A child should use infant toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste twice a day when they start growing teeth. Also, always floss their teeth as this cleans up all the tricky spots. Flossing and brushing should be a habit.

Avoid ‘Baby Bottle Decay’

Never let your baby sleep with a bottle of juice, formula, or milk. Sugary liquids cling to the teeth, feeding bacteria that can easily result in tooth decay. Therefore, in order to avoid this hassle, always feed your baby with plain water to makes sure no decay is caused.

Lowers The Juice Intake

While the majority of parents presume that juice strengthens and is healthy for the baby, there is a catch. It can easily lead to tooth decay. You should cut down their intake to about 4 ounces a day of 100% fruit juice. Let them have non-sugary drinks and foods at mealtimes. Using juice as a treat is a very sensible way of going about it too…

Control The Sippy Cup

A sippy cup can actually lead the kid to graduate from using a bottle to using a glass. Make sure the baby does not drink from it the whole day long. They can actually lead to the decay of tooth especially if the baby is drinking sugary juices.
