Tiny mouths need special care, from a dentist and at home. Early visits set children up on a path for a healthy life.
The American Association of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) also has a great check list for moms and dads to help keep infant mouths healthy and prevent infection:
Clean infants’ mouths and gums regularly with a soft infant toothbrush or cloth and water. Once baby teeth appear, brush them at least twice daily with an age-appropriate sized toothbrush and a “smear” of fluoridated toothpaste. Give children older than six months fluoride supplements if their drinking water does not contain enough fluoride. (Fluoride supplementation in infants has been shown to reduce tooth decay by as much as 50 percent.) Wean infants from the bottle by 12-14 months of age. Have infants drink from a cup as they approach their first birthday. Visit the pediatric dentist before children’s first birthday and twice annually following the first appointment. Avoid at-will breast feeding after the first baby tooth appears and other foods are introduced. Pediatric dentists get additional education and training required to be able to care for a child’s developmental need. Starting dental visits early in life sets up infants for preventative care and provide the proper foundation for a healthy life.
Below is CDHP’s Top Ten List for at home dental care for infants:
1.
Cavities are caused by bacteria in the mouth that can be spread from person to person. 2.
Be sure the entire family sees the dentist regularly to keep a healthy mouth and prevent the spread of cavities. 3.
Take your baby to see a dentist for the first time when his first tooth comes in or by age 1 at the latest. 4.
As soon as your baby’s teeth come in start brushing with a toothbrush and toothpaste with fluoride. 5.
It is safe to use a small smear of toothpaste with fluoride (about the size of a grain of rice) to prevent cavities even though your baby will swallow most of it. 6.
Be sure your baby drinks 1-2 ounces of water with fluoride every day to prevent cavities. 7.
Never put your baby to bed with a bottle or cup of milk or juice after his teeth have come in. Only water is OK. 8.
When your baby has teeth, encourage him to sleep through the night without feeding him in the middle of the night. 9.
Only give your baby 4-6 ounces of juice or less every day. 10.
Encourage your baby to stop sucking his thumb, fingers or pacifier early, by age 3 at the latest, to prevent orthodontic problems. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/childrensdentalhealth
