How to Train your Baby to Brush Teeth


It is very important for parents to take care of their
kid's teeth, as, teeth are not only important for health but also for their cute and beautiful smile. Now the question is when to start cleansing the teeth and why it is important to take care of baby teeth or milk teeth that do not last even for a decade and baby would have new permanent teeth at age of 6 or 7 years?


The answer is very simple. The most common disease among kids is tooth decay. Therefore we can do good for our kids to fight against the cavities, by training them properly for the maintenance of their teeth.
A toddler has twenty primary teeth that are for few years. But milk teeth are as important as adult or permanent teeth, because, milk teeth are basically a guide for adult teeth. If a child lost his baby teeth due to decay then he would not have enough space for adult teeth to appear. other than this the child will suffer from infection and pain and other problems related to teeth. Therefore it is very important to take care of the baby's teeth.

When a baby to start brushing teeth: 

The parents should clean the gums of their infants before appearing the teeth. You should clean their gums with a soft cloth, gauze, or infant-sized toothbrushes after every feeding. When your baby has first teeth at the age of 6 or 7 months you should have a visit to a dentist. And set up a proper routine of brushing teeth twice a day; after breakfast and before sleep. The toothbrush should be soft and small-headed. Brush your baby's teeth with water, don't use toothpaste until your child learn to spit.

When a child becomes 2 or 3 years old he should brush his teeth by himself. You can train him for self brushing in many ways. When you yourself brush your teeth, give brush in his hand and do brush together.
Or set a proper time for his brushing and make him follow the routine and properly guide him on how to brush his teeth. 
In short, toothbrush training is necessary for toddlers for their hygiene and beautiful smile.
