Poor breastfeeding habits during infancy can lead to poor oral cleaning and, if not done regularly, can lead to cavities in the baby’s mouth.
Should oral care be carried out in infancy before the baby has teething?
Yes! Generally speaking, babies should have some basic oral care practices from the time they are first born.
How exactly should I give my baby oral care? Here is our oral care plan for babies depending on whether they are teething or not.
Generally speaking, babies at this stage are mainly fed with breast milk or formula milk. At this time, parents can use gauze dipped in warm boiled water and wrapped around the index finger to gently rub the gums, mouth and tongue to clean the mucous membrane of the alveoli and the inner mucous membrane of the cheeks of the mouth.
When your baby’s first milk teeth come in, you can start preparing your baby’s toothbrush for brushing twice a day, morning and evening. Brushing is difficult at first and your baby may be extremely uncooperative, but don’t let this put you off, be patient and guide them. Keep at it and your baby will get healthy teeth.
In addition to this, a healthy diet and good habits are also important.
During the teething stage, pay attention to the intake of calcium, magnesium, vitamin A and other nutrients. Also pay attention to a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, and teach your baby not to be a picky eater.
Eat less sweets and reduce sugar intake. Not only children, but also adults are fond of cakes and sweets. Parents can control the frequency of desserts for their babies and tell them to brush their teeth promptly after eating sweets.
It is necessary to get into the good habit of rinsing their mouths promptly after eating. Brush your teeth at night before going to bed. But, don’t eat afterwards!
When babies are young, they do not have much self-control yet and keeping their mouth clean is not easy. In addition to daily cleaning, you should have regular oral check-ups and have your teeth cleaned according to the state of oral cleanliness. If there are any blackened teeth, address them promptly.
