HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CHILD’S TEETH ?
- Babies are born with teeth. They can’t be seen since they are hidden in the gums.
- Baby teeth start to break through the gums at around 6 months age. All baby teeth come by the age of 3 years. These are called PRIMARY TEETH.
- Primary teeth start falling around the age of 6; that’s when adult teeth i.e. PERMANENT TEETH start coming. Most permanent teeth come in by the age of 13.
- Gaps between primary teeth are normal. They make room for the permanent teeth
BOTTLE TOOTH DECAY:
01.
0 – 2 YEARS
- Wipe gums with a washcloth after feeding. This will help get rid of the sticky coating called plaque that can cause tooth decay.
- Brush teeth twice a day with water and soft-bristle toothbrush.
- Schedule first dental check-up before first birthday.
02.
3 – 5 YEARS
- Start using fluoride toothpaste at age of 3. Use only a pea-sized amount and make sure your child spits it out after brushing.
- Try to break thumb-sucking and pacifier habits by age 4.
- Start your child’s 6 monthly dental check-up routine.
03.
6 – 9 YEARS
- Explain to your child that it’s normal for baby teeth to fall out. That’s how “grown-up” teeth come in.
- Until your child is able to practice proper oral health habits alone, parents should help their child brush and floss twice a day.
- Always pay special attention to the back teeth, which may have more plaque.
04.
10 – 12 YEARS
- Children who play sports should use mouthguards to protect their smile.
