Whether you're a parent, guardian or grandparent, having children means you stay busy and because of lack of awareness, dental health is something that can be easily overlooked. According to recent research by The American Dental Association, 40 per cent children between the ages of two and five are almost more likely to develop tooth decay. Children's oral hygiene, therefore, is extremely important and understanding the basics of children's dental and oral healthcare needs. First, familiarise yourself with the fundamentals of children's dentistry. Good dental hygiene habits should begin before your child's first tooth comes in. Wiping your baby's gums with a soft damp cloth after feedings helps to prevent the buildup of bacteria. When the teeth appear, start using a soft children's toothbrush twice a day. Once your child is preschool-age, start using fluoride toothpaste. Don't cover the brush with toothpaste; a pea-sized amount is enough. Cavities are common amongst children. Your child might be at risk if he or she eats a lot of sugary foods (such as raisins, cookies, candy, etc.) and drinks lots of sweet liquids (such as fruit juice and punch, soda and sweetened drinks). Your child also might be at risk if Born early (prematurely) or weighed very little at birth (low birth weight) Has ongoing special health care needs Has white spots or brown areas on any teeth Does not go to the dentist very often Teeth should be brushed at least twice a day and visit a dentist twice a year. Have them show you the right way to brush your child's teeth. To avoid cavities, limit sweet snacks and drinks between meals. Have meals and snacks at regular times. Teeth-friendly snacks include fresh fruits and vegetables, cheese and crackers. Prevent tooth decay Brushing children's teeth twice a day, flossing daily and regular dental checkups are essential for establishing good oral hygiene at an early age. You will need to brush your child's teeth until they are old enough to do it on their own. Nutrition plays an important role in good dental health. Calcium foods helps protect teeth from cavities, and milk and cereal - often fortified with calcium - provide a good dose of the mineral. Overall, healthy eating is important to protect children against cavities and parents should be aware that breakfast is an important factor in keeping their kids' teeth healthy. Teahing children about good dental health is easy and fun witheducational dental activities, such as puzzles, games, printable colouring pages, brushing charts, fun facts, crafts, dental experiments, etc. The American Dental Association recommends that parents take their child to a dentist around his or her first birthday. This gives the dentist a chance to look for early problems with your child's teeth. Pediatric dentists specialise in treating children's dental health. You and your child's dentist should review important information about diet, bottles, tooth brushing and fluoride use. Visiting the dentist from a young age will help your child become comfortable with his or her dentist. It also establishes the good habit of regular dental check-ups.
