Children's education has a starting line, but the starting line of the oral cavity is easy to be ignored by everyone. A healthy and neat tooth is not only less economical and less painful, but also saves time and costs and improves the quality of life.
Only by cultivating good habits in the early stage and laying a good foundation can we ensure the normal eruption and arrangement of permanent teeth. Baby teeth have a much bigger impact on permanent teeth than you might think. Far more than that, in fact, from the first tooth eruption or even before the tooth, it is necessary to pay attention to the protection of the mouth. So, how can children of different ages protect their teeth?
Infancy (0-1 years)
Although the child is not yet teething at this stage, parents can gently wipe the baby's gums and gums with moist gauze after feeding, especially before bedtime. Keeping your mouth clean is conducive to the healthy eruption of baby teeth.
Early Childhood (1-3 years)
Once your child has their first teeth, they can brush their teeth with a finger toothbrush or a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush your teeth at least twice a day for at least 2 minutes each time. At the same time, it is necessary to teach children to learn to rinse their mouths from an early age, and develop the habit of gargling after meals, which can benefit them for a lifetime.
Preschool (3-6 years)
Children at this age can already learn to brush their teeth on their own. Parents can buy a toothbrush and toothpaste for their children, and show them a video of Pap brushing from the beginning to teach them how to brush their teeth properly. You should also take your child to the dentist regularly to learn more about dentistry.
School-age and adolescence (over 6 years old)
As the saying goes, "It is better to give a fish than to give a fish." "The older a child gets, the more attention should be paid to oral health awareness. Parents only need to supervise their children's brushing and make sure they brush their teeth every day with fluoride toothpaste. Check the teeth regularly, apply fluoride and seal the pits and fissures in time, and treat them as soon as possible if they find caries and cross-jaws. In addition, children should be taught to drink less carbonated beverages or brush their teeth promptly after drinking.
A good tooth can be used for life, and a good oral health awareness is an invisible wealth. Caring for them is not only to give them good food and clothing, but more importantly, to let them develop good habits and save them a lot of trouble in the future.
