Tips to Keep Your Child's Teeth Healthy

 Taking care of your child’s teeth is crucial for their health. It’s true that a child’s teeth don’t last.

 They’re bound to fall off and be replaced by adult teeth.

 But they still need proper care for the permanent teeth to come out healthy and aligned.

Clean Their Mouth Before Their Teeth Erupt

 Cleaning the mouth starts even before your child’s teeth begin to come in.

 Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away deposits on their tongue and gums.

 Once their teeth erupt, you can also start using a toothbrush, but be sure it’s age-appropriate for them.

Limit Intake of Sugary and Foods

Sugary and starchy foods tend to cling to the tooth surface. They become food for harmful bacteria, which later on produce acids that wear down the enamel.

 You don’t have to eliminate these food types from your child’s diet, but instead, moderate their intake.

 It is important to teach your kids to drink enough water during the day and whenever they have consumed some sugary and starchy foods.
