If you’ve just given birth you must be wondering what to do for your baby’s oral health. Here we tell some facts you should know:
The same germens that affect your teeth may be transmitted to your baby if you put in your mouth your baby’s stuff, such as toys, spoons, etc.
If you clean the teeth and gums of your baby with a soft cloth or a special toothbrush for babies after breastfeeding or giving him/her meals, this helps to remove the sugar contained on milk and that may cause dental detriment.
If you give bottle to your baby, you‘d better stop doing it before he/she turns one year old. Never put your baby to sleep with a bottle of milk or juice. Never put a pacifier or lollypop on his mouth either. Sucking a bottle being lying on his/her cradle may destroy your baby’s teeth, causing great pain and difficulties for feeding him/her.
Pediatricians and pediatric dentists suggest baby should have an oral exam between the first and the second year of age. This is to evaluate possible problems in your child’s mouth, and this also will teach you how to take care correctly of the mouth and teeth of your baby.
