Baby Dental, Children Oral Hygiene and Diet
Like adults, good oral hygiene and a well-balanced diet are also good for children. It is good for their teeth and it is good for their overall health and well being. Since good habits start young, you will want to gently clean your baby’s gums after every feeding and give your baby healthy foods.
Do not let your child fall asleep with a baby bottle in their mouth. You may not be able to see any baby teeth in your child’s mouth, but they are there. And they are just as susceptible to tooth decay. Letting a baby fall asleep with a bottle full of breast milk, formula, juice or any sweet drink is like soaking those developing teeth in sugar which can result in baby bottle tooth decay. Good oral health and diet is pivotal to establishing a lifetime full of happy, healthy smiles. All it takes is brushing, flossing, and eating right. The key is to start those positive habits at an early age.
