A healthy smile is an invaluable gift we can give to our children. From the first baby teeth to the eruption of permanent teeth, oral hygiene plays a crucial role in the overall health and development of our children. We recently touched on this subject. Well-maintained teeth not only support chewing and speaking but also shape self-confidence. In this blog post, you will learn how to properly care for your child's teeth from the beginning and lay the foundation for a healthy smile.

 

Basics of children's dental hygiene: From the right technique to toothpaste

Proper dental care begins with choosing the right tools. A soft toothbrush with rounded bristles protects the sensitive enamel of little ones. When brushing, the 45-degree technique along the gumline with small, circular motions is ideal. As for toothpaste, a fluoride-containing children's version strengthens enamel and prevents cavities. A pea-sized amount is completely sufficient.

 

Promoting healthy habits early on: Effortlessly embracing oral hygiene through play

Brushing teeth should be fun! By making tooth brushing playful and turning it into a shared activity, you promote positive associations and a consistent routine. Encourage your child to brush at least twice a day and be a role model. Ideally, use our emmi-dent ultrasonic toothbrush and pay attention to nutrition: Avoid sugary snacks and drinks before bedtime to minimize the risk of cavities.

 

Dentist visits: An important part of dental care

Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor your child's dental development and detect problems early on. The dentist can not only perform professional cleanings but also provide valuable tips for at-home dental hygiene. This ensures that your child's radiant smile is preserved not only today but also in the future.
