2- Brush teeth
- The most important thing is brush your teeth at
least twice a day. The nasty caries bacteria
don't stand a chance! Make this habit for your
children. - Many still believe that teeth need to be scrubbed
firmly. But that's not true. You can injure the
gums with it. - How to do it right
- First, brush all the chewing surfaces these are
the parts of the teeth that are used to chew food
after biting off. Start at the back of each side
and then move forward towards the mouth. They
won't forget a tooth Healthy dental care for
children. - This now cleans the outer surfaces of the teeth
from the back to the front again. Make small
circles with the toothbrush. The easiest way to
do it is to pretend theyre baring your teeth
like a dog. Be careful not to press too hard! - It's very easy, isn't it? We would be happy to
show you the right way to brush the teeth again
in our practice.
3Floss Children should also floss regularly, that
is, once a day. The molars in particular are
often so tight that the toothbrush cannot reach
the spaces between the teeth. To make handling
the floss easier and to make it attractive for
the children, there are now very nice holders,
some in the form of small colorful animals. If
they are unsure how to use it, have it show in
the dental office.
4The toothbrush It is best if they use a
children's toothbrush. Because the handle and the
head are the right sizes for them. The bristles
should be soft so that they don't damage their
gums while brushing. Sometimes an electric
toothbrush is better. We will tell them in our
practice which toothbrush is best for their
teeth. When they have finished brushing their
teeth, they should rinse the bristles with water
and shake out the brush. Then put the brush
upside down in their toothbrush cup to
dry. After two months at the latest, the
toothbrush is old and they need a new one.
5Eat and drink healthy Do they like sweets,
cakes, and chocolate? They are not the only one
who likes to eat this. Because of the little
caries bacteria in their mouth like the sugar in
it. They need it as food and turn it into
acid. The acid can make small holes in their
teeth, which can then gradually grow larger.
Incidentally, such a hole is called tooth decay
theyve probably heard that before. But they can
prevent that. By brushing and not eating or
drinking sweets that often. It is best to only
eat a piece of chocolate or cake or drink
something sweet now and then. For example, after
lunch. Fruits and drinks that are very acidic can
also make holes in their teeth. For example,
lemonade, cola, or fruit juice. Therefore, they
shouldn't drink or eat them too often. Water and
tea without sugar are better for their teeth.
They taste good and also quench their thirst.
