At what age should you start brushing your baby's teeth: recommendations from competent dentists
The health of the child is the main concern of parents. It is important to pay attention, among other things, to the health of children's teeth.
Today we offer to find out the answers to the most pressing questions: when to start brushing your child’s teeth, how to do it correctly and what brushes and pastes to use.
Oral health care should begin from the moment the first teeth appear. Try to accustom your child to care procedures from an early age.
To do this, you will need to turn the everyday process into something fun and interesting. Funny songs, colorful books about hygiene and children's toys that can demonstrate how to brush your teeth will help you with this.
A toothbrush for children should have soft bristles and a small head. Its handle should be comfortable and non-slip, so that first parents and then the baby can easily hold it in their hands.
It is better to choose a brush with a bright and attractive design to interest the baby and evoke positive emotions.
Children's toothpaste should be selected according to the child's age. Usually, the corresponding marking is present on the packaging.
And remember: the most inspiring example for children, including during the process of brushing their teeth, is the example of their parents.
