The teeth of infants have always been a concern for parents. Only when infants have healthy deciduous teeth can they chew food better promoting digestion and nutrition absorption. However, many infants are too young to pay attention to oral hygiene and then have dental caries and even have serious oral infection. Many mothers will ask, how to prevent infant tooth decay? Let’s talk about the methods of preventing infants from dental caries.

    1. Develop a good habit of clean the oral cavity
    Oral cleaning should be paid attention to from the baby's birth. The purpose is to remove the milk dregs in the mouth, avoid the peculiar smell caused by the fermentation of bacteria in the mouth, and massage the gums to relieve the discomfort of long teeth. The most important thing is to let the infants adapt to the sensation of putting things in the mouth as soon as possible, so as to prepare for brushing teeth after growing teeth in the future. Otherwise, when infants grow up, it will be more difficult to develop the habit of brushing teeth.

    2. Supplement fluoride with drugs to prevent dental caries
    Fluoride is currently recognized by dentists as an effective element to prevent dental caries. It is necessary to supplement fluorine before tooth calcification does not germinate to achieve the purpose of preventing dental caries. If parents decide to give infants fluoride tablets, it must be given at the age of six months.

    3.Exercise chewing
    From 6 to 7 months, children should be encouraged to learn to eat coarse and hard food, such as dried bread and steamed bread, so as to improve their chewing ability, rub gums, promote the development of dental bone and help the eruption of deciduous teeth.

    4.See the dentist regularly
    Let infants get used to seeing the dentist from an early age, and then insist on seeing twice a year. This means that any problems or changes in the baby's mouth will be quickly identified and treated before they deteriorate. Being familiar with dentists also means that babies are not afraid to see the dentist when they grow up.
