By\nfollowing below mentioned preventive measures you can ensure your child a\nlifetime of good oral health:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Aware\n     your child about the daily dental hygiene. Teach him to brush regularly,\n     especially after meals or at least twice a day.<\/li><li>Opt\n     for child-friendly fluoride toothpaste with different flavors and colors,\n     as fluoride strengthen their tooth enamel and resists decay.<\/li><li>Teach\n     your child the proper technique of brushing. As it helps removing plaque\n     and results in healthier teeth and gums.<\/li><li>Try\n     different methods to encourage your child to floss daily, as it is the\n     most dreaded dental practice.<\/li><li>In\n     case of up to 5 months old babies, remember to wipe their gums with gauze\n     or clean wash cloth and water after every feeding.<\/li><li>As\n     soon as your baby\u2019s first tooth appears, start a proper and daily\n     cleansing regime and consult your dentist.<\/li><li>Encourage\n     your child to wear mouth guards while playing to protect his teeth from\n     any potential harm.<\/li><li>Consult\n     your pediatric dentist for applying dental sealants (plastic protective\n     coating) on the biting surfaces of our child\u2019s back teeth as most of the\n     cavities occur on these places. Studies also suggest that children with at\n     least single sealant application have reduced the risk of tooth decay by\n     50%.<\/li><li>Antibiotics\n     can stain your child\u2019s teeth. So consult your pediatrician before using\n     any medication.<\/li><li>Offer\n     your child healthy, nutritious and balanced meals like; yogurt, vegetables\n     and cheese as snacks.<\/li><li>Avoid\n     offering candies, sweets and carbohydrates like chips, pretzel as snacks\n     because they stick to the tooth surface. Whenever your child consumes such\n     sticky food, make him brush his teeth soon after.<\/li><li>&nbsp;&nbsp;Take\n     your child for regular dental check-ups for professional cleansing and\n     oral exams. It further helps to remove plaque build-up on teeth.<\/li><li>Fluoride\n     treatments employed by dentists help to renew fluoride content in enamel,\n     thus preventing cavities.<\/li><li>Regular\n     visits to dentists will also help to assess ongoing changes in child\u2019s\n     oral health like; he may need additional fluoride, changes in diets,\n     sealants for proper dental health.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On this 64<sup>th<\/sup> National Children Dental Health\nMonth, Contact Dr. Bikram Singh DMD for your children proper dental check-up;\nin order to fight back severe dental problems like tooth decay and cavities, so\nthat they can continue brightening your world with their healthy, attractive\nand confident smiles.
