Oral Hygiene

A good oral hygiene is the most important factor in avoiding tooth decay and gum disease. You should clean them twice a day with a soft cloth. Around the year, you start brushing her teeth with a soft toothbrush and a very small amount of toothpaste.

Brushing should include teeth and gums, the latter, gently.

As your child becomes interested in this process, let him participate, but you should monitor the amount of toothpaste until 4 years of age or older, in case the little one tends to exaggerate the dose.

You will have to do part of the brushing, at least until the age of 7 or 9, if you want to make sure it is done correctly.

So, be prepared to be part of this routine for quite some time. If you want to ensure healthy teeth, never allow your child to go to bed with a bottle in his mouth, or give him juice from a bottle.
