251. Taking care of your child smile

Brushing (1) - You should always brush your teeth after eating - a ritual that must be repeated at least three to four times per day, from the birth of the first tooth. Supervise brushing the child - and even the teenager - until she has control of the procedure and know how to use dental floss.
At about six years, on average, can be introduced using mouthrinse. Then you can start making a lifestyle complete with brush, floss and rinse with a brush-to finish. The wire should be used at least twice a day. And remember: the largest and most effective example is the parents. Therefore, not enough to have them, you need to do well.
Brushing (2) - also need to brush their teeth after snacks out of hours. This guidance applies to all sweet and savory. It is very important to maintain the habit and the frequency of brushing.
It is easier when the child has a routine to eat: come at the right time and right away, do the cleaning. In the morning, on waking, the ideal is to brush your teeth, take breakfast and go back to brush.
Injuries - If your child has suffered a fall and lose a tooth, attention, just join the tooth by holding the crown (the part that is apparent in the mouth, not the root) and dip it, preferably in a glass of milk. If you can not milk at the time, so please use the order, saline, saliva (put the tooth that fell under his tongue) or water. Make a compress with gauze in place and look for the dentist immediately, so try a reimplantation.
Never wrap the tooth in a cloth or napkin, which would make him lose the fibers. Even if it is dirty, leave it as is. If the strike did not make the tooth fall, but only the left half loose in the mouth, do not try to pull it out. Plug it back in place and go to the office. Keep calm, in both situations is essential.
