Dental home regimen for infants and children
Posted on 8/8/2022 by Office - Boone DMD
Dental home regimen for infants and childrenBaby teeth are formed during pregnancy and emerge six months after delivery. From the time they are born, baby teeth and gums should be cared for well as they are important in guiding speech, eating, appearance, and preserving space for permanent teeth to emerge. By the age of seven, baby teeth start to fall off and are replaced gradually by permanent teeth. Caring for baby teeth and gums ensures they have a healthy oral cavity in adulthood.

Home care remedies for baby teeth


Parents should maintain a consistent and thorough dental routine for their infants from birth. To clean the baby's gums, use a wet washcloth and gently rub all gum surfaces after every feed or at least twice a day. Have clear feeding schedules, and do not let the baby fall asleep with a bottle in their mouth. When the first teeth appear, parents must switch to brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush without toothpaste. You should continue massaging the gums and provide a wet washcloth to help the child with teething. It is important to inspect baby teeth and gums occasionally to ensure they grow properly with a normal appearance. Patients should also start a dental appointment schedule during this stage.

At the age of two years, parents can start using a grain-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste and be encouraged to spit it out. They will probably need your help brushing until they are the age of five years when they can be encouraged to brush their teeth. It is important to avoid offering sweet candy to your children, potentially damaging their teeth. Water is also important for a child as it helps wash down bacteria from the mouth that could cause infections. When the baby starts weaning, ensure you provide a nutrient-dense diet to help strengthen the baby's teeth and immune.
