How to ensure the best dental hygiene
for your kids?

Introduction
  • A large part of the overall health of your child
    depends on his or her oral hygiene. Healthy teeth
    play a major role in keeping your kids physically
    fit. Effective dental care is possible, only when
    your child follows a proper dental-care regime,
    so when it comes to dental hygiene for kids,
    serious consideration must be given for this
    aspect. Many parents have similar concerns
    regarding their kids dental health, so read on
    for tips to care for your childrens teeth.

The right time for Kids dental care 
  • Proper dental care begins before your childs
    first tooth comes out. The initial teeth are not
    visible initially, but they are growing inside
    your childs mouth. A typical new-born has a set
    of twenty primary teeth right from birth. Some of
    these teeth are fairly well-developed within your
    childs jaw. This is why dental hygiene for
    kids should be considered as a high priority by
    parents.

Kid-friendly dental hygiene tips
  • Lack of oral care for your kids can make children
    suffer from many dental ailments. Oral
    infections, dental diseases and other
    teeth-related issues can harm your childs
    overall health. Visit Dr. Beena George Dentistry
    in Mississauga to ensure quality oral care for
    your child and introduce your child to the
    dentist. This will introduce a good regimen and
    help build trust with your dentist, rather than
    when your child visits the dentist for the first
    time with a painful tooth condition. Below are
    some useful dental hygiene tips which must be
    followed for your child regularly.

5
  • Infant Brushing
  • After your babys teeth show, start brushing
    their teeth with an infant toothbrush. We
    recommend not using a fluoride toothpaste till
    the child is able to spit. When the child is
    older and able to spit, fluoridated childrens
    toothpaste is recommended. Please ensure the
    child does not  swallow  leftovers of any
    toothpaste you are using.
  • Pre-dental Regime
  • Sometimes, your kids gums can become susceptible
    to various harmful bacteria even before their
    teeth have grown fully. This is where the
    importance of pre-dental care would have been
    beneficial. As a parent, you must follow the
    simple steps below for your infants dental
    hygiene. Take a clean wash-cloth and make sure it
    is adequately damp. Now, run it gently on your
    childs gums to keep dangerous bacteria at bay.

6
Start the brushing and flossing routine
  • Brushing as well as flossing should be introduced
    as a routine when your child is two years old.
    You can use a soft and small toothbrush according
    to the size of your childs mouth. Now brush your
    kids teeth every day with water, not less than
    twice a day. While doing so, gradually you can
    use a little fluoride-free toothpaste on your
    childs toothbrush. If your child swallows this
    small quantity toothpaste, he or she can do that
    safely. Encourage them to spit the toothpaste
    every time.

When to use Fluoride toothpaste?
  • After your child is trained well enough, you
    should start the use of a fluoride toothpaste.
    Make sure that you start with only a small amount
    of fluoride toothpaste. The perfect time to
    switch your child to a fluoride toothpaste is
    when you are convinced that he or she spits out
    toothpaste properly. Your child should also
    spread the toothpaste between their tongue, gums
    and teeth. Dr. Beena George Dentistry is the best
    dentist in Mississauga who can show your child
    the correct steps to brush his or her teeth
    properly. Until your child is seven to eight
    years old, you will need to help them with
    brushing their teeth.

8
Time to use bigger toothbrushes
  • When your child becomes seven to eight years of
    age, you must change his or her toothbrush.
    Choose a slightly larger toothbrush for your kid
    this time. The moment bristles look a little
    worn-out, change your childs toothbrush
    immediately. Also, remember to change their
    toothbrushes every three to six months. In
    addition to that, ensure your child brushes his
    or her teeth for at least two minutes.

9
Importance of Flossing and tongue cleaning
  • Just like brushing, flossing is equally important
    for your child. Train your child to floss his or
    her teeth at least once a day. Introduce your
    child to floss with long handles to make flossing
    easy for your child. In addition to flossing,
    cleaning his or her tongue everyday should be of
    equal importance to your kid. This reduces the
    number of harmful bacteria inside your childs
    mouth. This is why your child must learn to brush
    his or her teeth every day before going to bed,
    after they are done with all the drinking and
    eating for the day.

10
Importance of Fluoride
  • Fluoride is an effective agent in reducing
    cavities in kids with primary teeth, or adult
    teeth. It hardens the tooth enamel, thereby
    making the teeth stronger. Many children have
    access to fluoride in their drinking water. This
    is the reason why several cities add fluoride to
    their tap water. Alternatively, your kids can
    consume an oral fluoride supplement if you know
    that the water in your area does not have
    fluoride in it. Before taking any steps in this
    direction, you should reach out to the best
    dentist in Mississauga (Dr. Beena George
    Dentistry) to know whether your child must
    consume fluoride indispensably.
