Daily care of children's teeth
Good home hygiene is the main step in preventing tooth decay in children. It is important not only to brush your teeth regularly, but also to do it correctly, using products that are appropriate for your child's age.
- Brushing your teeth twice a day helps remove bacteria and food debris.
- Using dental floss - cleans the spaces between the teeth, where plaque often accumulates.
- Toothpaste with fluoride - helps strengthen enamel and protect against caries.
- Tongue cleaning - reduces bacteria and helps maintain fresh breath.
It is also important to limit the frequent consumption of sweets and carbonated drinks, because it is sugar that creates a favorable environment for the development of caries.
Prevention and dental checkups
Even thorough home care does not always completely clean your teeth of plaque and bacteria. That is why dentists recommend having a preventive examination and professional teeth cleaning every 6 months.
