On this day, Mom Pippi, who was a new mother, came to the clinic with questions. Since she and Pippi’s dad have bad teeth, I want to ask the doctor if there is any way to protect Pippi’s teeth.
Pippi mom: I heard that the deciduous teeth will be replaced anyway. Pay attention to oral care after the teeth are replaced. Is that right?
Doctor: This is absolutely undesirable. Poor deciduous teeth may affect the development of permanent teeth and even have a serious impact on physical and mental health.
Pippi Mom: Huh? It's so serious, it's good to come to you, how can we protect Pippi's teeth?
Doctor: 0~3 years old infants and young children are at the beginning of their lives.The biggest change in the oral cavity: from toothless to 20 deciduous teeth, all grow up.
Therefore, we advocate that from the birth of a baby, we should start to actively maintain oral health. Let's talk about how to do oral health care since childhood!
good feeding habits conducive to oral health
promote breastfeeding, regular feeding
breast milk is the best natural food for infants and young children. Compared with formula and mixed feeding, children who are exclusively breastfed have a relatively low risk of caries (commonly known as cavities and cavities).
After the child is 1 year old, it is best to gradually reduce the frequency of feeding, especially the frequency of feeding at night, or even no longer feeding at night. Avoid letting the child hold the nipple for a long time, otherwise the child’s teeth are soaked in the milk and it is prone to caries.
After the child is 1 year old, he should use as little bottle as possible

No matter what kind of feeding method, the feeding position should be emphasized

When feeding in a bottle, you should also pay attention to choosing a nipple of the right month to avoid inappropriate hole sizes, which will result in your child’s inability to exert "strength to feed", which is not conducive to the development of perioral musculoskeletal.
Incorrect feeding posture may cause the child's jaw to extend or retract, forming " " or "small chin".
Correct bad habits and avoid dentition malformations

Pacifier is a substitute for nipple and can be used as a sucking substance. However, using a pacifier for too long may cause dentition malformations or abnormal jaw development. Therefore, it is recommended that children gradually withdraw from pacifiers when they are 1 to 2 years old, and stop using them after 2 years of age.
Correct the bad oral habits as soon as possible
Small chins, etc., not only affect the appearance of children, but also greatly increase the risk of dental trauma. Therefore, these bad habits should be corrected as soon as possible to prevent uneven dentition.
oral health care, parents should pay attention to
clean the mouth, from the child's birth
After 's child was born,Although there is no tooth, parents should scrub their mouth with soft gauze once a day. This will not only help the child's oral cleansing and the early development of good habit of cleaning the mouth, it will not be easy to reject tooth brushing in the future, and the parents will be able to discover the new situation in the child's mouth in time.
After the teeth erupt, parents should switch to using gauze, finger cots or small toothbrushes to brush their children twice a day.
Two-year-old children have increased autonomy and will require themselves to brush their teeth, but they often do not do well. Parents should not only instruct their children to brush their teeth independently, but also help them to clean them thoroughly after brushing. In addition, parents should cultivate the habit of children not eating after brushing their teeth before going to bed.
After the teeth erupt, use dental floss to clean the interdental teeth

Because brushing alone cannot effectively clean the gap between the teeth, if things go on like this, dirt and dirt will be hidden here and become the most likely place for deciduous teeth to develop caries.
Especially emphasize that the correct use of dental floss will not cause the gap between the teeth to increase.
abandon traditional ideas,Avoid "word of mouth"
Some studies have shown that caries can be "spread" between mother and baby. "Transmission" refers to the transmission of cariogenic bacteria from parents to infants and young children, and saliva is the medium for this transmission.
Therefore, caregivers of infants and young children should pay attention to: avoid kissing the child with mouth to mouth or touching the child’s nipple with the mouth; do not put the spoon in the mouth before feeding the child or chewing the food. For children; feeding equipment such as baby bottles should be cleaned and disinfected frequently; pay attention to one's own oral hygiene, and do not "spread" pathogenic bacteria to children.
child oral health can not be ignored
in order to have good teeth, regular check-ups
Parents should take the child to the hospital for the first oral examination as soon as possible within 6 months after the eruption of the child's first tooth. Let the doctor check the child’s teeth and maxillofacial development, and provide targeted oral health guidance.
topical fluorine,Strong teeth
Fluorine is a trace element necessary for human health. Ingesting an appropriate amount of fluoride can reduce the solubility of teeth and promote the remineralization of teeth to prevent the occurrence of caries.
After the child’s first deciduous tooth erupts, parents should use fluoride toothpaste to brush their teeth.
Children under 3 years old each use rice grain size (15-20mg) fluoride-containing toothpaste with a fluorine concentration of 500-1100mg/kg (marked in the toothpaste component). In addition, according to the doctor's recommendation, apply fluorine-containing paint every 3 to 6 months.
