Baby brushing teeth is resistant? Most likely parents overlook one thing!

The life after the baby is like an endless "challenge to break through". Perhaps the most difficult of these levels is the Brushing Challenge.

Parents often complain:

Every time the child brushes his teeth, it is like fighting, and I can't fight a four-legged beast at all;

One-year-old baby toothbrushes go in and bite, and can only brush a few times at a time, which is too difficult;

Don't talk about brushing your teeth, as long as you hold the toothbrush, the baby will sit on the ground and sprinkle, alas...

Do you tired old mothers also feel the same way and helpless?

First, brushing teeth only takes a few minutes for why does the baby fight for half an hour?

Instinct resists unpleasant experiences

For young babies, the difficulty coefficient of brushing teeth is a bit high.

If you are not careful, it is easy to vomit and poke your mouth, and the "user experience" is so bad, of course, the baby will instinctively reject brushing her teeth.

In addition, some parents also persecute and scare their children at every turn.

Don't brush your teeth? Then you are not allowed to sleep today!

Don't brush your teeth, bugs will eat up all your teeth at night!

If your toothbrush is not clean, Mom and Dad will not love you...

Baby is so frightened twice a day that she will have a psychological shadow on brushing her teeth, let alone obediently brushing her teeth.

Affected by the living habits of parents, many parents will make such mistakes:

Brushing his teeth is perfunctory, but he requires the child to brush his teeth carefully sooner or later.

Imagine that when the old mother crosses her hands and waist and scolds the baby, "Why can't you brush your teeth well", the baby may only need a sentence of "Daddy did not brush his teeth at night" to make you dumb.

There is also a type of parent, very "Buddhist", think that since human cubs are so difficult to engage, I will simply lie flat!

They often comfort them like this —

Little children, what teeth to brush;

It doesn't matter if the deciduous teeth are broken, it will be fine after the teeth are replaced;

As long as you control eating sugar, there will be no caries...

The above ideas, all will pit the baby, let the baby be a little old and have a rotten tooth!

According to statistics, the caries in children aged 3 to 5 years showed an upward trend, and the caries rate of 5-year-old children was as high as 71.9%. You know, the surface of the teeth will continue to form plaque, brushing is one of the most effective ways to protect teeth.

Therefore, even if the baby is very resistant to brushing her teeth, the parents cannot pick and choose.

If there is really no way, we can share two tips for you.

Second, get two tips to make the baby fall in love with brushing her teeth

Turn brushing your teeth into playing games

Brushing your teeth is terrible? It doesn't matter, we can make brushing our teeth very fun, such as playing brushing games with your baby in a different pattern.

For example, brushing each other's teeth, brushing faster and cleaner than anyone else, etc., can make children happier when brushing their teeth.

In addition, we can also use plaque display agent (very cheap, about one or two pieces), after the baby brushes her teeth, "look for stubble" to see where it is not brushed clean.

Let picture books become a good helper for parents

In addition to playing games, parents can also use picture books to make their babies no longer resist brushing their teeth.

"Departure, Brushing Teeth Train", "Cute Little Brother Mouse Special " · Brush your teeth together" and "New Things on the Street of Teeth" are all good brushing picture books.

Of course, the above two little tricks only play an auxiliary role, and the most important thing is to make the baby fall in love with brushing teeth.

This is not so difficult, as long as you grasp the 3 golden periods, cultivate the baby's good habit of brushing teeth, the baby's small white teeth will not run.

Third, grasp the 3 golden periods to cultivate good brushing habits

1, during the teeth aging period, clean your teeth frequently and don't be lazy

Babies in the dental period are prone to milk caries, and the surface of the upper upper teeth is prone to defects or plaques that turn from yellow to black.

Therefore, parents should start brushing their teeth just after the baby's baby teeth have erupted, and they can use a finger toothbrush or wrap a clean gauze on the index finger, dipped in warm water, and scrub the baby's teeth.

2. Deciduous teeth period, effective brushing and anti-caries

Many parents believe that deciduous teeth will eventually be replaced by permanent teeth, so they do not take the protection of deciduous teeth seriously.

However, if the deciduous teeth are allowed to develop badly, they will eventually damage the root of the tooth.

Then even if the baby grows permanent teeth, it is likely to be a "bad tooth".

Therefore, babies in the deciduous period should also pay attention to brushing their teeth.

However, babies at this stage cannot "brush their teeth effectively", so they need help from parents.

Parents choose a soft-bristled, small-headed, easy-to-grip toothbrush for the baby, assist the baby to brush his teeth morning and evening, and also supervise the baby to rinse his mouth after meals and see the dentist regularly.

3. During the period of tooth replacement, cultivate scientific brushing method

Deciduous teeth begin to be replaced around the age of 6 and end around the age of 12, a period called the replacement period.

The shape and size of the teeth during the teeth change period have also changed, the pits and grooves are deeper, and the dentition is crowded and not easy to clean. Therefore, the small brush head toothbrush in the deciduous period is no longer suitable, and the baby needs a toothbrush with a slightly larger brush head.

At the same time, parents teach the baby horizontal flutter + vertical brushing of the modified Pap brushing method, spend 3 minutes each time brushing, to ensure that each tooth to brush.

Finally, draw another key point, parents must grasp the three golden periods of the cute teeth period, the deciduous teeth period, and the tooth replacement period, so that the baby can develop a good habit of brushing teeth.
