Your child's dental needs depend on your vigilance. Brushing daily and bringing them to a dental office in Toronto regularly is crucial towards healthy dental development.
Aside from bringing them to a trusted dental office in Toronto, you can use the following tips to help take care of your child’s oral health:
Use a Soft Brush Once Teeth Appears
A baby's gums are extremely sensitive. Using standard toothbrush bristles will damage their gums. Thus, soft baby toothbrushes are the best choice. Most baby care sections have these soft brushes that allow you to apply toothpaste and clean a baby's teeth thoroughly but gently.
The First Dental Appointment
Your child will have a few or all of their teeth on their first birthday. This signals that it is time to visit the dental office in Toronto to start a record of their oral health and monitor their dental growth. Good dental hygiene begins in the first year and ensures that your child will have an excellent set of teeth as they grow older.
Develop Good Brushing Habits
Excellent brushing habits and regular fluoride application prevents cavities and teeth discoloration. Thus, children under six years old should start brushing their teeth under their parent's supervision. Having these regular habits ensures the child's teeth will grow well.
Use Holistic Care
Holistic care is a preventative set of dental hygiene routines that your kids can follow. Optimally, it involves brushing, mouthwash, and fluoride applications. Therefore, consult with your doctor to learn about the best way to apply holistic care for your child's needs.
Visit Your Dentist Regularly
Regular visits to a dental office in Toronto ensure the accurate monitoring of your child's dental health. Dentists can recommend routine adjustments that give your kids the best chance of having excellent oral health at all times.
