At this age they also begin to snack more making the oral cavity a busier place.
This change in their diet also demands for a more elaborate dental health care regime. The following tips can help the parents maintain good oral hygiene for their kids
Remember to brush your child’s teeth at least TWICE A DAY, once in the morning and once at night. The most important time to brush your child’s teeth is RIGHT BEFORE BEDTIME.
Schedule dental visits EVERY SIX MONTHS. The routine teeth cleanings at regular check-ups helps in maintaining good dental health.
Sucking on a thumb, finger and pacifier can affect your child’s teeth the same way: sucking for prolonged periods of time may cause the upper front teeth to tip outward or not come properly.
Most children stop this habit on their own; if not, try to discourage it by age 3 or ask your dentist for other creative ideas.
Keep an eye on snacking ideally children should be allowed to snack thrice a day which is sufficient. Parents can begin flossing for their children when any teeth are touching each other.
Avoid the packaged fruit juices and sugary drinks as much as possible.
Talk to your child’s dentist about the right amount of FLUORIDE for your child.
In our country most people have an RO water purifier installed at their home. The RO water purifier removes all the fluoride present in the water along with all the harmful stuff. So we can say that the amount of fluoride being consumed by us is negligible. Hence it advised to use fluoridated tooth paste for all children.
Ayurvedic toothpastes shouldn’t be used as they do not contain sufficient amounts of fluoride.
FLUORIDATED TOOTHPASTE should be used.
The amount of fluoridated toothpaste to be used for ages 2-5 years should be SMALL PEA SIZED.
BRUSHING TECHNIQUE: Angle the bristles of the toothbrush towards the gum. Move the brush in gentle circles to clean the outer sides of the teeth and gums. For the lower front teeth the brush should move down to up instead of circular motion.
