In the West, children's dental health is considered one of the indicators of family well-being. Since children have become part of the image, parents regularly take them to the dentist, which helps prevent diseases of the oral cavity and preserve strong teeth for many years. It would be nice if a similar tradition appeared in Russian families.
Instructions
Step 1
As soon as the baby's first teeth erupt, it is necessary to teach him oral hygiene. After each meal, the mother should gently wipe the child's mouth with a bandage or gauze dipped in a soda solution. When your baby is two years old, you need to show him how to brush his teeth on his own. It will be great if at this time the mother takes the child to the dentist for the first time.
Step 2
It is at the age of 2 that the registration in kindergarten takes place, it is not for nothing that oral cavity sanitation is included in the mandatory list of procedures that a future kindergartener must undergo. At the first visit, a dentist tells the little patient how important it is to keep his teeth clean, because healthy milk teeth are the key to strong permanent teeth.
Step 3
At the age of 6-7, permanent teeth begin to appear in a preschooler. At this point, the oral cavity must be absolutely healthy, otherwise caries will spread to new fragile teeth with great pleasure. It's time to visit your dentist for a fissure sealing procedure. The enamel of new teeth is soft. It takes a year to ripen and this year it is especially vulnerable. A sealant will be able to protect it from destruction.
Step 4
At the age of 9-12, teeth remineralization should be done. Just at this time, almost all milk teeth are replaced by permanent ones. In dentistry, an impression is taken from the child's teeth, and a mouthguard is made on it for both jaws. At home, the mouthguard is filled with a special gel, from which calcium and phosphorus enter the tooth tissues, which strengthen the tooth tissues. It is enough to wear a mouthguard for 20 minutes a day for 2 weeks, after which a break is taken.
Step 5
It is very important that a child's, and then a young body, receives calcium and vitamin D3, which contributes to its assimilation. The child's diet should contain fermented milk products, black bread, herbs, sesame seeds, dried fruits, cabbage. Mustard oil has proven itself as an alternative to fish oil. It contains omega-3 fatty acids necessary for the absorption of calcium.
