A healthy smile starts at home, and parents are the best role models!
I'm Dr. Yashna Ahuja, and here's my simple guide for parents to build strong dental habits in kids:
Parents, please follow these tips:
1. Brush twice daily with your child, use a pea-sized fluoride toothpaste
2. Supervise brushing till age 7-8, kids lack the right technique alone
3. Limit sticky sweets, chocolates and sugary juices, especially at night
4. Rinse after meals and encourage water over soft drinks
5. Visit your dentist every 6 months, prevention is easier than treatment
How to make kids follow easily:
Make it fun, not forceful. Use a 2-minute timer song, let them pick their brush, and brush together as a family routine. Praise, don't scold.
Healthy milk teeth today mean healthy permanent teeth tomorrow.
Save and share with fellow parents!
