Teach Children for Good Dental Habits Contrary
to popular opinion, good oral habits are very
important from the get-go with your child. Before
your baby even has teeth, you can gently wash
his/her gums using water on a baby toothbrush or
even a soft washcloth.

• Dental Hygiene Tips for Children
• When your child gets his/her first tooth, make
  sure to brush at least twice a day with an infant
  toothbrush and some water. No toothpaste is
  necessary unless recommended by your dentist.
• Start flossing when two of the teeth touch each
  other. If you arent sure of the proper
  technique, your dentist can show you how to care
  for your childs teeth properly.
• If you brush and floss before bedtime, its
  easier to ensure your child doesnt eat or drink
  anything except water until the next morning.
• Handle with care During the initial stages of
  tooth growth, be very gentle with your babys
  gums and teeth. Use a soft bristled baby tooth
  brush and a very light feeling. This will get
  your baby used to the feeling of the brush in
  his/her mouth and lets them learn that brushing
  is a pleasant experience, not something to be
  afraid of.

• Keep an eye out for any issues that may affect
  your childs teeth or speech patterns
• Give you advice regarding your childs at-home
  oral hygiene routine
• After the first visit, you should schedule
  checkups with your childs dentist at least every

Stick to a Good Diet Given By Best Dentist in
Brampton and Avoid Sticky Foods One of the most
important things to remember when it comes to
your childs oral health is that what they eat
will affect their teeth. Too many sugars,
starches, and carbohydrates will increase their
risk of tooth decay. The main risk of decay? How
long food particles stay on the teeth. Thats why
its so important to avoid sticky foods when it
comes to your childs diet. Products such as
jelly beans, honey, caramel, and even raisins
will stick to the teeth and make it difficult for
saliva to wash the sugar away. Common
Example Cheese, Milk Water, Leafy greens
(spinach, broccoli, kale), Fish (fatty fishes,
wild salmon, tuna), Meat, Nuts   If you have any
