How to implement good oral care right from the start
MAM have a brochure (below) showing how to implement good oral care right from the start and have a range of products to help with it. Here are our top tips:
- A soft microfiber cloth is best, in order to gently cleanse inside baby’s mouth.
Once the first tooth has come through it is time to start with proper dental care.
- Brush teeth daily.
- Replace toothbrush every 6-8 weeks and after infectious illnesses.
- Regular dental check-ups.
- Use bottles (enter code: TRYMEFREEBLOG to claim a free sample excluding P&P)only for feeding or fluid intake and not for help when going to sleep.
- Water instead of sweetened drinks.
- Be conscious of soother use.
Children follow the example set by parents. Sensible nutrition and dental care are best taught by example.
