Children's Dental Care by Family Dentist on Chinguacousy RD
                     
How Family Dentist care for children 
Newborn dental care is different from toddler and adult dental care, and 
instead of using toothpaste to clean the teeth, you can rub the gums with 
a wet cloth or wet baby toothbrush after feeding or breastfeeding. 
Pacifiers should be cleaned daily to kill bacteria. Finally, for older babies, 
provide a bottle of water at bedtime instead of juice or milk to prevent 
cavities.
When your child is a toddler, Family Dentist on Chinguacousy, RD says 
that this is the time to introduce them to brush their teeth after lunch 
and dinner. Remember to use a small toothbrush with ultra-soft bristles 
and fluoride-free toothpaste. 
Use an amount of toothpaste that is no larger than a grain of rice until 
your child is used to spitting out the toothpaste, then you can increase it 
to a pea-sized amount. 
It is also important for your child to get into the habit of flossing every 
day, especially if their teeth are touching, as this can increase the risk of 
cavities.
What Common problems are seen in children
Bottle Syndrome
The children's teeth are susceptible to all of the same problems as adult teeth, including decay and tooth 
deterioration. This corresponds to the bottle-feeding syndrome, and it more often affects the upper teeth 
at the front of the mouth. 
This is especially common in children who often go to bed with a bottle, or who receive frequent bottles 
as a pacifier. The reason why this happens is that the bacteria in the mouth feed on the sugar in milk and 
other drinks, and when they feed, they produce an acid that is strong enough to damage the teeth. 
However, there are other causes of tooth decay in babies as well, including the bacteria that cause 
cavities passed by parents, from their mouth to their baby, and this can increase the chances of tooth 
decay and deterioration. The best ways to avoid this include:
Do not share utensils or otherwise pass a saliva
Wiping Your Baby's Teeth After Feeding
Do not put juice or other sugary drinks in baby bottles
Thumb sucking
Most children suck their thumbs for 
at least a short time and must stop 
before the age of four. However, if 
your child's adult teeth are growing, 
and he or she has not given up the 
habit, it can lead to tooth alignment 
problems, growth abnormalities. 
Even changes to the palate. There 
are a lot of tactics you can try to get 
your child to stop thumb sucking, 
including praise, talking to 
your Family Dentistry Brampton, and 
responding to possible underlying 
issues of stress or anxiety.
Malocclusion
Malocclusion refers to several 
problems with tooth alignment, 
including crooked teeth, dental 
crowding, and an upper and lower 
jaw that does not fit together 
properly. 
If you notice any signs that your child 
has a malocclusion, it is important to 
see a specialist in children's dental 
care, as early treatment is the only 
way to prevent other problems, such 
as an increased risk of cavities, 
chipped teeth, and improper jaw 
development.
