Good dental care should start early in childhood. Healthy milk teeth are important for proper chewing, speech development, and guiding permanent teeth into the correct position. Parents should begin cleaning a child’s teeth as soon as they appear.
Children should brush twice a day using age-appropriate toothpaste and a soft toothbrush. Limiting sugary snacks and drinks helps prevent cavities. Regular dental visits help children become comfortable with dental care and allow early detection of dental issues.
Teaching children good oral hygiene habits at a young age sets the foundation for lifelong dental health and confident smiles.
