How to prevent cavities in milk teeth.

PREVENTION OF TEETH CAVITIES IN PRIMARY TEETH

• Take good care of your own oral health even before your baby is born. It is important to see a dentist for oral care while you are pregnant.

• Whether you choose to breast feed or bottle-feed, it is important to take good care of your baby's teeth.

           Birth to 12 months: Keep your baby's mouth clean by gently wiping the gums with a clean cloth. Once you see the first tooth, gently brush using a soft baby toothbrush and a smear of fluoride toothpaste.

RICE GRAIN SIZE - UNDER 3 YRS AGE

           12 to 36 months: Brush your child's teeth 2 times per day for 2 minutes in morning and night before going to bed. Use a pea sized toothpaste from 3 to 5 years of age.

PEA SIZE - 3-5 YRS AGE

• Never put your child to bed with a milk bottle - this exposes your child's teeth to sugars.

• Do not use a bottle or sipper as a pacifier for longer periods, if needed to use fill it with water only.
• Check to see if your water is flouridated. If your tap water does not have enough fluoride, your child's dentist may prescribe a fluoride supplement and also apply fluoride varnish to your child's teeth to protect them from decay.
• Limit the amount of sweet or sticky foods your child eats, such as candies, gummies, cookies.

• Limit the snacks in between the meals.
• Make an appointment with the dentist when the first tooth erupts for your child.

Tooth decay can be prevented. Talk with your dentist if you see any signs of decay in your child's teeth. With the right care, your child can grow up to have healthy teeth for a lifetime of smiles.
