Know how to care for your Baby’s Teeth? 

Good oral healthcare starts right from the beginning of your child’s life. Taking care of your child’s oral health before their first teeth emerge would be best. Certain factors may affect your child’s teeth’ appearance. One of them is tetracycline, an antibiotic that can cause tooth discoloration. It is something to beware of and should not be used by nursing or expectant mothers in the last half of pregnancy.

Baby teeth will usually start emerging around six months of age. Standard brushing and flossing healthcare procedures are not required for infants. However, infants have special oral healthcare needs that must meet. Parents should know how to guard against baby bottle tooth decay. Parents also need to take their child to see a dentist at the cutting of their first tooth or by the time they are one year old. Prevention is the key, so the sooner you start with proper dental care, the better.
