It is very important to take care of the baby's oral health. Here are some suggestions:
1. Clean deciduous teeth every day: Oral hygiene care should start from the first deciduous tooth after the baby is born. Wipe deciduous teeth and gums gently with wet gauze or baby toothbrush every day to remove residual food and bacteria.
2. Healthy diet: Avoid feeding babies foods and drinks with high sugar content, especially before going to bed. Sugar is the main nutrient source of bacteria, which easily leads to tooth decay. It is recommended to provide infants with a balanced diet, including vegetables, fruits and foods rich in calcium.
3. Avoid using the bottle for a long time: Using the bottle for a long time can easily lead to "bottle caries", that is, tooth decay. Try not to give babies bottles or just water before they go to bed.
4. See the dentist regularly: It is recommended that the baby see the dentist within 6 months after the first deciduous tooth grows. Dentists can check the baby's oral health and provide professional advice and treatment.
5. Establish good oral hygiene habits: When babies grow up, we can gradually guide them to develop the habit of brushing their teeth. Use a soft toothbrush suitable for babies and a small amount of fluoride-free toothpaste, and brush your teeth at least twice a day. At the same time, educate them on correct brushing skills and oral hygiene knowledge.
In a word, nursing the oral health of infants needs to start from the early stage and continue. Regular cleaning of deciduous teeth, healthy diet, avoiding long-term use of bottles and regular visits to dentists can help babies maintain good oral health.
