Children’s Dentistry in Niagara

Proper dental hygiene is an essential part of a daily routine, and so it is vital that parents begin to establish good dental habits early in their child’s life.
This starts with the cleaning of a baby’s mouth even before the teeth erupt by gently wiping away any buildup from the gums with a special finger brush and semi-warm water. As the baby teeth begin to ease through the gums, using a soft brush will help to keep bacteria at bay. The brush will easily reach all sides of the generally widely spaced teeth.

Sealants

Further protection can be provided by a dental sealant. Then, when your child is old enough so that there is no risk of them swallowing the toothpaste, you can begin to use a paste with fluoride. As your child’s teeth start to fill out and the gaps between them close, use floss to remove any plaque from between the teeth. In this way, you can begin to establish a healthy pattern of dental care and a positive attitude toward dentistry in general.
