When it comes to baby's teeth care in life, most mothers will brush their babies' teeth, but brushing their teeth will inevitably deal with toothpaste. What type of toothpaste is suitable for babies? And what other knowledge about dental care when dealing with brushing?
toothpaste selection
First of all, when buying baby toothpaste, you can choose fluorine-containing items. Don’t, mothers must remember to choose these three elements:

1. The fluorine-containing proportion is between 0.05% and 0.11%.
2. To choose a light taste, remember not to choose a scent, such as strawberries, to prevent the baby from accidentally eating it and not wanting to vomit it out.
3. Toothpaste is generally divided into three types: multiple bubbles, medium bubbles, and less bubbles. The amount of foam depends on the amount of soap content. The soap content of the multi-foam toothpaste is more than 18%. The soap not only stimulates the oral mucosa, but also destroys the yeast enzymes in the saliva, reduces the friction on the tooth surface, and affects the teeth cleaning effect. Therefore, it is not advisable to choose toothpaste with more foam for your baby.
Dental care tips
When you find that your baby has its first tooth, you may suffer from caries soon, and parents need to pay attention to oral care. Wipe and clean with a clean damp cloth or finger brush every day. When more teeth erupt, switch to a small, soft toothbrush.
Supervise or help your baby brush his teeth twice a day until the child can brush his teeth correctly without the help of his parents. Parents can teach their babies to brush their teeth without learning to rinse their mouths and vomit them. In addition to using toothpaste, you should also develop good habits of using teeth:

1. When you find that the baby has its first tooth, use a gentle baby's special toothbrush to brush the baby's teeth or use gauze to help the baby wipe the teeth.
2. Avoid letting your baby fall asleep while drinking milk, whether it is day or night.
3. The purpose of brushing teeth is to thoroughly clean every tooth, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, once in the morning and once in the evening.
4. Try to let your baby eat less candy and brush his teeth after each time he eats candy.
5. Babies are not allowed to drink any sugary liquid using straws or bottles for a long time.

6. Babies who are used to using bottles must start to stop using bottles when they are 1 year old.
7. See the dentist regularly. For babies who have teeth before the age of 1, it is best to see a pediatric dentist once before the age of 1.
Develop good habits of using teeth. You should start from childhood. Don’t think that there will be permanent teeth after the baby teeth fall, and there will be a chance. The decay of the deciduous teeth and the destruction of the crown lead to a deterioration of the oral environment, making the inherited permanent teeth susceptible to caries, especially the greatest impact on adjacent permanent teeth.
