How Can Parents Help in Maintaining Their Child's Dental Health?
Parents play a crucial role in maintaining their child's dental health. Here are some tips:
Start brushing your child's teeth as soon as they appear using a small, soft-bristled toothbrush. Use fluoride toothpaste and ensure your child spits it out after brushing. Encourage your child to floss daily once they have two teeth that touch. Limit sugary snacks and drinks that can contribute to tooth decay. Ensure your child wears a mouthguard during sports activities to prevent dental injuries.
