562. Oral hygiene health: Good habits are born early

Truth and as the reader knows, its implementation depends solely on parents. If the reader was father recently, take note of this advice does not always reach the ears of everyone. I speak to you then the oral hygiene of your puppies.
Oral hygiene, contrary to what is usually thought, should begin before the eruption of the first teeth. And how, asks the reader? Oh well, after each feeding, either breast milk or formula milk, gums, tongue, cheeks baby should be cleaned with the tip of a diaper or compress soaked in boiled water or serum. This habit should be daily, especially at bedtime.
It is extremely important to have these habits as it is on the surface of the gums that will spawn future teeth. Studies say that the sooner you take these measures, the puppies will be more receptive in the future in relation to the care of their oral health.
When the first teeth are born, parents may use a fluoride toothpaste based on a small amount (the size of the nail of the little finger of your child), and brushing twice daily with a brush or diaper wrapped itself in the finger the first child's teeth. By doing a year old, should leave the tiller collaborate in the task in order to wrap it and encourage this habit so essential in the prevention of caries essentially.
By six months of age the teeth begin to emerge, and this process usually makes the gums of babies very sensitive and irritated. Thus, another advantage when you rub the gums, is to provide relief and comfort to babies.
Parents should also take into account the bad habit of letting children stay for a long time with the nipple of the bottle in his mouth. Artificial milk have sugar often arises pope, who also has a lot of sugar in the bottle to thicken the milk and what happens is that if the kids get too much time with the teat in the mouth, there is an excessive exposure of the teeth to these sugars. Should not allow your baby to fall asleep, for instance, the bottle mouth.
Do not forget also to enjoy the dentist-check that all children have the right (ie if the state budget is still permitting of course) when it enters primary school.
Should minimize the intake of sweets and fizzy drinks (they cause erosion of teeth) by your children while you can, because I know that over the years, children will gain weight, height and willingly and will soon make that gives them the real ghana and not connect to your advice, so take advantage while you can to establish healthy habits, because the right to be parents who pay the bills of the dentist, and we agree, that are costly!
Dear readers, you know what to do to prevent tooth decay in your shoots, because prevention is better than cure!
