Sugars or carbohydrates from food and drinks with bacteria usually found in the oral cavity accumulate on the tooth surface.

Do not put the baby to bed with a bottle, especially after one year old. Also, never put sugary drinks in baby bottles. A dental examination can help detect the first signs of tooth decay.

Dental sealants fill in the crevasses or fissures on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. It shuts out food particles that could get caught in the teeth and cause tooth cavities.

It would be best if you made the process comfortable and fun. Let the child pick out a unique and fun toothbrush, make sure that the bristles are soft and toothbrush with a wider handle, and try to choose unflavored toothpaste. Stand behind and apply a minimal amount of unflavored toothpaste (pea size).
You may need to help by guiding their hands to make sure they reach the front and back of all sides of the tooth. Brushing at the same time can help you alleviate some anxiety and teach you the technique. To make sure they brush for the recommended two minutes and make the process more fun, experts recommend using a timer or singing their favourite song while brushing their teeth. You may have to brush their teeth first because it is a skill that requires them to be independent, so it is essential to try to help them.
