Patient's question:
Comprehensive prevention and treatment of dental caries for babies may sound easy, but for toddlers who are just learning to speak, no matter what, it's hard to change their habit of keeping sugar in their mouths, not eating dinner on time, and dry swallowing things that have been kept in their mouths for a long time. This habit is very difficult to correct. So, when children are too young to understand the adults' intentions, how can we make them practice it to prevent the recurrence of dental caries?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No history of allergies.
The kind of assistance needed: The child is too young. After eating, they keep food in their mouths and pay no attention to what is said. How can this situation be changed?
Doctor's answer:
Dental caries is a dental disease characterized by the gradual erosion of the tooth structure, leading to the formation of cavities. Advice: Hello: After the first tooth erupts, parents should clean the baby's teeth. The method is to first wash your hands thoroughly, then wrap a sterilized gauze around your third finger and dip it in physiological saline or distilled water to brush all surfaces of the teeth. Brush twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Do not let infants or toddlers sleep with a bottle containing milk or other sweet beverages. Only offer cool boiled water before bedtime. After each feeding, clean all surfaces of the teeth.
