This month, we embark on a journey through the early stages of oral health – dental care for babies.

Dental care for babies is not only about protecting tiny teeth; it’s also about nurturing a foundation for a lifetime of good oral health…

Tooth Eruption

Baby teeth start to emerge as early as six months of age. Proper care at this stage is essential for the development of healthy permanent teeth.

Prevention

Early dental care helps prevent common childhood dental issues like tooth decay, cavities, and malocclusion.

Oral Hygiene Education

It’s crucial for parents to learn about proper infant oral hygiene practices and dietary choices.

Tips for Parents on Dental Care for Babies

Here are some valuable tips you can share with parents to ensure a strong start for their baby’s oral health:

1. Cleaning Baby’s Gums

Before teeth erupt, clean the baby’s gums with a soft, damp cloth after feeding.

2. Toothbrush Introduction

As teeth appear, introduce a soft baby toothbrush and use fluoride toothpaste in a rice grain-sized amount.
