Children with healthy teeth chew food easily, gain more nutrients from food they eat, learn to speak clearly, and smile with confidence. Parents are responsible for ensuring their children practice good dental hygiene. Parents must introduce proper oral care early in a child’s life-as early as infancy
A good oral hygiene routine for children includes:
Thoroughly cleaning your infant’s gums after each feeding with a water-soaked infant cloth. This stimulates the gum tissue and removes food. Teaching your child at age 3 about proper brushing techniques with a small, soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste and helping them with brushing and flossing until 7 or 8 years old. Regular visits with their dentist to check for cavities in the primary teeth and for possible developmental problems. Do not mention words like “pain” or “hurt,” since this may instill the possibility of pain in the child’s thought process. Permanent adult molars appear at the age of six that should not be mistaken for baby teeth they are meant to last lifetime. Asking the dentist about sealant applications to protect your child’s teeth-chewing surfaces and about early childhood caries, which occurs when teeth are frequently exposed to sugared liquids. Teaching them proper eating habits that would prevent dental diseases. In pediatric practice (children's dentistry) emphasis is laid on early detection and thereafter the treatment of problems affecting children. Also proper treatment plan and preventive regimen for the child is must. Prevention in case of children will help to preserve your child's teeth for life. Some of preventive treatments for children are Brushing and flossing, Fissures and sealants, Fluoride applications, Fillings Preventive orthodontic care
