Baby's oral cleaning needs to feed warm water to the child regularly to help remove oral secretions. When cleaning the mouth, the baby should lie on his side, and the cleaning order is mouth, cheek, outer cheek, inner cheek and tongue. The baby's oral mucosa is very tender and thin, and it is easy to be damaged and infected. Pay attention to protecting the child. You can also wet the clean gauze with water and wring it out, wrap the wet gauze around your index finger, and clean the milk residue in your baby's mouth with wet gauze, paying special attention to your gums when cleaning. Children should brush their teeth frequently after teething, preferably three times a day. Brush your teeth after meals, which can ensure your child's oral hygiene and develop good hygiene habits.
Under normal circumstances, the newborn's mouth doesn't need special cleaning. Just feed the newborn with warm water after feeding it, and wash away the remaining milk in the mouth. If an individual really needs cleaning, you can dip a clean cotton swab in warm water and gently smear the child's oral mucosa. Pay attention to parents' gentle movements, and don't damage children's oral mucosa, because children's oral mucosa is delicate. In addition, it should be noted that the newborn has not erupted teeth, and if there is a lot of saliva flow, it can also play a role in cleaning the mouth. Therefore, there is no need to clean the newborn's mouth, and there is no need for special gauze, handkerchief and cotton swab to scrub the child's oral mucosa, because it is very easy to rub the oral mucosa and cause bacterial infection. Under normal circumstances, the newborn's mouth does not need special cleaning, because there are no teeth in the newborn's mouth, and the flow of saliva is relatively large, which can play a role in cleaning the mouth.
No teeth erupted in the mouth of infants from 0 to 6 months old. The most important oral cleaning at this time is gargling. At this time, the so-called gargle is to give the baby a cup of warm water after feeding, or take a piece of sterile gauze dipped in a small amount of warm water and gently wipe the baby's gums. Children from 6 months to 1 year and a half are the period when deciduous teeth begin to erupt. At this time, they need to brush their teeth. Prepare sterile gauze or put a toothbrush and warm water on their fingers. The mother sat on the sofa and let the child lie in her arms. The mother holds the child's head with her hand, lets the child open her mouth, brushes her teeth with sterile gauze or finger-set toothbrush, dips in warm water, and wipes the upper surface of the inside and outside of the teeth. It is a very important daily habit to induce children to know how to brush their teeth from an early age, which is very beneficial for children to brush their teeth in the future.
