Essential Pediatric Dental Care: Brushing, Prevention & Oral Health Tips
 

Brushing Tips:

  • Children under 3 years old: Help your child brush twice a day for 2 minutes using a soft toothbrush with a smear (the size of a grain of rice) of fluoride toothpaste.
  • Children 3 years and older: Help your child brush twice a day for 2 minutes with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.

The Importance of Primary (Deciduous) Teeth: Primary teeth are valuable assets for children. These milk teeth play a crucial role in:

  1. Eating: Facilitating proper chewing.
  2. Phonetics: Contributing to speech and pronunciation.
  3. Esthetics: Enhancing appearance and self-confidence.
  4. Space Maintenance: Serving as placeholders for permanent teeth.

Prevention of Cavities (Caries):

  1. Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
  2. Use the correct brushing technique.
  3. Floss regularly to clean between teeth.
  4. Eat healthy foods to promote strong teeth.
  5. Avoid sugary foods and beverages that can contribute to cavities.

It is also essential to visit your pediatric dentist regularly. They may recommend additional treatments to ensure your child's oral health is in optimal condition.
