Introduction

• Keeping your child's teeth healthy and strong is
  a priority for all parents. Establishing good
  habits in the early years can help them keep
  their teeth for life.
• Here are a few pointers to ensure that your child
  has happy, problem-free teeth and gums.

Chapter 1 Start Early

• Taking care of your baby's teeth and gums should
  start as soon as they enter the world. Before
  they even have teeth, wiping their gum line with
  a clean damp cloth after feedings is essential
  for good oral health. When teeth appear, there
  are toothbrushes designed especially for infants
  that can be used to gently brush their teeth and
  gums.

Chapter 2 Establish Good Habits

• It is important for your child to develop healthy
  dental habits at an early age, such brushing and
  flossing daily. To help their development, here
  are some useful tips
• Brush twice a day Encourage your child to brush
  their teeth for two minutes, twice a day. Use a
  timer or a fun toothbrush with a built-in timer
  to make brushing more enjoyable.
• Floss daily Flossing removes food particles and
  plaque from between teeth that a toothbrush can't
  reach. Teach your child to floss once a day.
• Use fluoride toothpaste Fluoride is a mineral
  that helps strengthen teeth and prevent cavities.
  Use fluoride toothpaste that has been approved by
  your child's dentist.
• Limit sugary drinks and snacks Sugary drinks and
  snacks can lead to tooth decay. Encourage your
  child to drink water and eat healthy snacks like
  fruits and vegetables.

Chapter 3 Visit the Dentist

• Visiting the dentist regularly is essential for
  keeping one's teeth and mouth in good condition.
  It is recommended that upon the eruption of their
  first tooth, it is time to bring your child to
  their first dental appointment otherwise, no
  later than 1 year of age.
• At a dental visit, the professional will assess
  your child's teeth and gum health, as well as
  possibly taking x-rays to search for any unseen
  issues. Additionally, they will clean away any
  plaque or tartar from your offspring's pearly
  whites.

Chapter 4 Make It Fun

• Dental care doesn't have to be boring or scary.
  Here are some ways to make dental care fun for
  your child
• Let them choose their toothbrush and toothpaste
  Kids love having choices, so let your child
  choose their own toothbrush and toothpaste. There
  are many fun and colorful toothbrushes and
  toothpaste flavors available for kids.
• Use a sticker chart Create a sticker chart to
  track your child's progress with their dental
  care. Give them a sticker for each time they
  brush and floss, and reward them with a special
  treat after they earn a certain number of
  stickers.
• Read books about dental health There are many
  children's books available about dental health
  that can help make dental care more fun and
  interesting for your child.
