A baby who is almost one year old has just grown baby teeth and has just started to have a few baby teeth in their mouth. To protect the baby teeth, it is not recommended to use a toothbrush to brush them. If not taken care of carefully, it can cause damage to the baby's teeth. So how should we take care of them in daily life?
1. When a baby is almost one year old, after giving them candy, warm water is usually used to clean the residue in their mouth. Alternatively, we can use gauze dipped in warm water to gently rub off the baby's baby teeth and gums. After more than half a year of age, babies will start to grind their teeth. At this point, you can try using a toothbrush to gently brush.
2. Before going to bed, it is important to develop good habits and avoid feeding or drinking beverages to the baby, as these can produce harmful acidic fluids that can damage the teeth. Feeding beverages to babies every day should be controlled and not exceed 2 cups. Babies should be encouraged to eat more high fiber coarse grains. Strengthen the activity of the oral system and improve self-cleaning of the mouth and teeth.
3. Regularly check for baby teeth every two months; If you find something dark or black, you should take your baby to see a doctor as soon as possible. Also, it is important to pay attention to some bad habits in daily life. Reduce letting babies suck their fingers, stick out their tongues, and so on. Because in the long run, it can cause the front teeth to protrude and the teeth to bend. Also, babies who always breathe through their mouths can also cause their front teeth to protrude too much. When eating, if the chewing on both sides of the teeth is not evenly distributed, it can cause asymmetric development of the faces on both sides. These bad habits need to be corrected regularly in order to better care for the baby's teeth.
