Children's dental health knowledge

First of all, children should start brushing their teeth after they have their first teeth. Although the child has only one tooth, he should also pay attention to cleanliness. You can use a fingertip toothbrush to clean and wipe, and pay attention to the gentle and short movements. This can not only protect children's teeth, but also help children to establish good oral hygiene habits as soon as possible.

Second, children's teeth should not be cleaned with toothpaste. Various additives in toothpaste are not suitable for children, but care should be taken to wipe them clean. With more teeth erupting, it is easy for children to embed food residues in their teeth, which is easy to cause dental caries and can be cleaned with dental floss.

Third, don't brush your teeth until your baby's deciduous teeth grow. First of all, it is necessary to choose a toothbrush suitable for children, preferably a soft-haired children's toothbrush with a small brush head, which is also good for protecting gums. Then, to choose the right toothpaste, it must be fluoride toothpaste, and some fruit-flavored toothpaste is also a good choice, which can improve children's interest in brushing their teeth. In addition, the amount of toothpaste should be as big as a mung bean.

Fourth, the way children brush their teeth. On the outside of the front and rear teeth, the toothbrush forms a 45-degree angle with the teeth, and the teeth are brushed from the gum line. On the inside of the posterior teeth, the brushing action forms a certain arc. Inside the front teeth, the toothbrush is perpendicular to the teeth, and brush it up and down with the toothbrush head. In addition, there are chewing surfaces, so it is necessary to pay attention to brushing your teeth gently and slightly to prevent damage and injury to the young children's tender mouth.

All of the above are little knowledge about children's dental health. For the sake of children's dental health, we must encourage children to develop the habit of brushing their teeth and master the correct brushing methods. Doing a good job in children's oral cleaning mainly depends on parents, and more supervision and education are needed. In addition, once you find that your child has cavities, you must seek medical treatment as soon as possible and receive treatment as soon as possible.
