How To Best Prevent Children's Tooth Decay

The best way to treat tooth decay in children is to prevent tooth decay from occurring.

If the child already has tooth decay, the first thing you need to do is stop it from progressing.

And to achieve both of the above, children and parents need to understand how to properly clean their teeth.

After you have properly cleaned children’s teeth, then it is time to fill in the decayed teeth.

Proper oral hygiene includes proper brushing, flossing, and mouthwash.

Teaching children how to take good care of their teeth

In order to encourage children to brush their teeth clean, the whole family should brush their teeth at the same time.

If children brush their teeth faster than their parents, it is definitely not clean and thorough.

Some children only pay attention to "cleaning the front", without brushing the inner teeth, while in this area there are permanent teeth that are extremely important when chewing.

Finally, for the best results, parents should check again, and assist in cleaning the baby's teeth in difficult-to-brush areas such as the back teeth, or support flossing to clean between the children's teeth.

Effective oral hygiene is also a great way to reduce "urgent" appointments because of tooth decay during the COVID-19 epidemic season.
