Recommendations to prevent tooth decay in baby teeth
- Even before the first tooth appears, cleanse out your baby’s gums after each feeding. To do this, you can use a moistened gauze or a soft clean cloth.
- When teething starts, use a toothbrush. At the beginning don´t use any toothpaste at least until your child is 2 years old. From age 2, place small amounts of children´s toothpaste .on the brush. There are special toothpastes for children with low fluoride content and special flavors.
- And remember to prevent tooth decay; don’t leave the baby with a bib in his mouth for long periods of time. Prolonged contact with the milk sugars predispose the outcome of caries.
