Maintaining healthy gums in children involves several practices:
- Brushing and Flossing: Encourage regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing to remove plaque from between the teeth. - Diet: A balanced diet low in sugary snacks and drinks helps prevent gum disease. - Regular Dental Visits: Routine check-ups with a pediatric dentist can catch potential issues early. - Mouthguards: For children involved in sports, using a mouthguard can prevent gum injuries.
