Primary teeth / milk teeth are usually ignored in case of children. Parents believe they will get replaced later and overlook them. When ignored, defects in primary teeth can get carried onto the permanent teeth and jaw structure.
General guidelines related to pediatric oral care:
1. Dental health care should start right from birth. Child’s gum pads should be cleaned with a soft wet cotton cloth after every feeding.
2.When the first tooth pops in, use a soft bristled kids toothbrush in addition to massaging gum tissues.
3.Amount of toothpaste should be minimal(grain sized for <3yrs and pea sized > 3yrs).Child should be taught to spit the toothpaste and not to swallow it
4.Brushing should be supervised by parents until he /she develops brushing skills.
5.Do not let your child sleep with a bottle of milk or juice other than plain water as this could lead to early childhood caries.
6.Promote healthy habits by limiting the amount and frequency of sweetened and sticky food. Encourage to wash mouth after every food intake.
7.Lift your child’s lip regularly to check for suspicious white or brown spots on teeth.
8.Talk to your dentist if your child regularly sucks pacifier or thumb or any other habits.
Baby teeth may be small but they are very important. They are placeholders for the future adult teeth. Proper care and timely intervention can retain healthy set of teeth.
