Now, just because your baby has only a
couple of tooth showing, doesn’t mean you should leave these baby teeth alone.
We list down some ways on how you can practice good family dental care
for your little one.
Watch
the bottle. Check for baby bottle decay. This is
when sugar containing liquids, like milk and juice, tarnish your baby’s teeth
causing cavities. Before nap time, make sure that your baby has his fill of
water or even a pacifier to prevent this. You may also try wiping your baby’s
gums before napping and after feeding for some basic home pediatric dentistry.

High
in fluoride. We all know that fluoride strengthens
our teeth. This is why your baby needs fluoride as his or her teeth are just
forming. One source of fluoride is water. Check on your pediatrics dentistry
if your infant may need supplements.
First
toothbrush. When your baby’s first tooth appears,
proud parents can now start brushing that lonesome tooth. Make sure to choose
one that has a soft brush and small head. For the toothpaste, non-fluoride
toothpaste is recommended; introduce a fluoride filled paste when your baby is
two.

Good
dental care starts from your baby’s conception.
Tetracycline, an antibiotic, should not be used by pregnant women or nursing
mommies, as it causes tooth discoloration.
