Milk teeth: five tips to maintain the teeth of small

1 / Start early
From birth we think of "rinsing / cleaning" with a clean cloth after each meal. It is not the teeth that will be washed since there are not yet but the gums, which are just as important for baby have a healthy mouth.

2 / Institute the ritual
Give the habit to thechild to go through the sink box, after each meal if possible. This will become an automatism for him and will not be seen as a chore later.

3 / Have the right brush stroke
The ideal is to brush the teeth of thechild until he's six to make sure it's done right. If this is not possible, we explain the gesture to thechild. Thechild must start with the top teeth, brushing the brush several times from top to bottom, then repeat the gesture with the bottom teeth, going from bottom to top.

4 / Show the example
Thechild will be much easier to convince if his parents brush their teeth at the same time as him. This will give him the impression of being a "big".

5 / Be vigilant
To keep caries to a minimum, we remain vigilant to microbes that can come into contact with the mouth of thechild. We check that the toys he puts in the mouth are not too dirty, that his toothbrush is not in contact with others, and we think to change it regularly. Because even if the baby teeth are not definitive, their hygiene is essential, both for the future teeth and for the good development of thechild (food, word ...)
