ORAL CARE & EFFECTIVE CAVITY PREVENTION FOR CHILDREN

The mouth is the first part of the digestive system responsible for chewing and breaking down food to supply essential nutrients for the body. Chewing thoroughly enhances taste and aids in the digestion and absorption of food more effectively.

Infants and toddlers are at risk of cavities just like older children and adults. Oral care for children should begin from birth. Developing early oral care habits helps children maintain healthy teeth and effectively prevents cavities.

Daily Tooth Brushing:

Choose a toothbrush that fits the child’s mouth, allowing easy access, with bristles that are neither too soft nor too hard. Brush teeth after meals, before bed, and clean all three tooth surfaces: the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces. Use circular motions on the front teeth and a 45-degree angle on molars for three minutes.

Appropriate Amount of Toothpaste for Children:

For children under 5 years old, the toothpaste amount should be as small as a grain of rice per brushing, with parental supervision to ensure proper technique.

Limit Sugary Foods and Drinks:

Reducing sugar intake is recommended for all ages. Children should avoid sweets before bedtime or meals, and refrain from snacking. After eating, they should rinse their mouth and brush their teeth promptly.

Strengthening Tooth Enamel with Fluoride:

Children aged 6 to 15 can rinse with salt solutions and use fluoride toothpaste.

Regular Dental Check-ups:

Children should have dental check-ups every 6 months. Regular visits help detect early-stage cavities for timely treatment and prevent complications.
