We all know that adults brushing their teeth can not only maintain oral hygiene, but also effectively prevent tooth decay, so should the baby brush his teeth?
In fact, whether it is an adult or a child, brushing teeth is an important means to effectively eliminate food debris and bacteria in the mouth.
It's just that children brush their teeth with a lot of precautions, and parents should pay special attention.
Then let's talk about the baby's oral cleaning, brushing time and how to brush your teeth correctly
01
Do children have to clean their mouths?
I know that many parents will do oral cleaning after their baby teething, so you know? In fact, before the baby has teething, he must also do oral cleaning
Especially after your baby has suckled, you can clean your mouth with gauze and gently wipe your baby's gums and gums.
Of course, if you encounter a baby who does not cooperate, it is not necessary to be too real, not necessarily wiped, as long as the baby eats milk or complementary food after the water flush is also OK.
The purpose of this, in addition to effectively reducing the milk residue in the mouth, is mainly to let the baby adapt to oral cleaning in advance and prepare for future brushing.
02
At what age should my baby start brushing?
As we said above, babies start brushing their teeth after they have their first teeth. At this time, you can wipe your baby's teeth with gauze or a finger toothbrush.
Although the gauze or finger sleeve toothbrush is not a toothbrush in the true sense, the gauze or finger sleeve toothbrush is also to apply a certain force to wipe the teeth on the tooth surface, which is still different from cleaning the gums.
With the baby's teeth out more, each brushing time can be controlled at about 3 minutes; a total of 2 times a day in the morning and evening, 1 time a day can also be, but brushing before bedtime can not be saved.
Pay attention to brushing your teeth in addition to drinking water, try not to eat any other food Oh ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

What is your baby's brushing position?
When parents brush their teeth for the baby, it is best to let the baby lie flat, which not only helps to see all the teeth clearly, but also uses both hands, one holding the baby (control do not move), and the other brushing the baby's teeth.
It is recommended that parents and friends can take the Pap brushing method to brush their teeth for their baby.
Introduction to taking a Pap brushing method:
The toothbrush and teeth are at a 45° angle, the toothbrush is pressed into the gum groove, gently forced, tremors a few times, and then brushed down to brush out all the residue.
Parents may feel no problem seeing this, but as a grandfather, I know best that the difficulty of practicing it is not ordinary.
Therefore, if the brushing of the baby's teeth is not very smooth, it is not necessary to follow the method of changing the brushing method, and the baby can brush the baby's teeth according to the actual situation at home.
But the most important thing to remember:
· Draw small circles and don't pull a big saw!
· Brush all the outer sides of the teeth first, then brush all the inner sides of the teeth, and finally all the teeth chewing the surface!
The key is to ensure that the baby's teeth are all brushed inside and out, so that they can be cleaned
