Many parents believe that the best time to establish good dental hygiene habits is right when their child\u2019s first tooth appears. In actuality, the best time to start taking care of your child\u2019s teeth<\/a> is the moment that your child is born. Because even without teeth, bacteria can and will build up. To prevent this from happening, the routine is simple \u2013 wipe your baby\u2019s gums with a soft damp cloth after every feeding. Once your child\u2019s teeth develop and break through the gums, it\u2019s time to start brushing. Do it twice a day. Use a soft children\u2019s toothbrush and minimal to non-fluoride toothpaste<\/a>. As they reach preschool-age, feel free to start using fluoride toothpaste. But remember \u2013 too much fluoride toothpaste can leave permanent stains on the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know kids love sugar \u2013 try to keep their favorites as something special, not something expected. But that\u2019s not all; there are other circumstances, like being born with low birth weight or premature, ongoing treatment for any special health care needs, brown areas and white spots on the teeth and infrequent trips to the dentist can all lead to the development of cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To stop this from happening, start teaching your family good dental hygiene habits. Everyone needs to be involved in order to get the habit to stick. Other family members can pass on cavity-causing bacteria to both children and babies, so every family member has to make an effort to take care of their teeth properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to baby\u2019s first dental visit, most dental practitioners agree that parents should take their children in for an appointment as soon as their first tooth pops out, but no longer than the child\u2019s first birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
