The child’s tooth needs special attention especially during the early days of developments. Jolting down some points which are coming to my mind.
• Everyday brush the child’s teeth both in the morning and at night. Night brushing is very important. Else the food particles might stick to the teeth which lead to tooth decay
• Elders should brush the kid’s teeth till at least 5 years. And brushing should be such that the brush reaches all corners of the mouth.
• Use the toothpaste which has less fluoride content. There is a chance that the kids swallow the paste and fluoride is bad for health.
• Don’t assume white teeth are healthy teeth. A tooth being white is an indication that it is lacking calcium.
• Do have a consultation with a doctor once in 6 month for a regular check up of the teeth.
