Young children can not clean their own teeth. Parents must do for them when they are very young and do with them when they are older.
If your child can write (not print) his name, he is able to properly brush their teeth.
You should start cleaning your child’s teeth before the onset of the first tooth. This allows you and your child to become accustomed, while providing a first teeth clean. The goal is to clean all parts of the gums and teeth.
Here’s how:
* Install your baby comfortably.
* Make sure to see in his mouth.
* Rub it gently gums and teeth with a baby brush or a damp cloth.
* Do not use toothpaste if it does not have any teeth.
Cleaning the mouth
• Clean the teeth and mouth every 4 hours and at bedtime, more often if the mucositis becomes worse.
• Use a soft bristle toothbrush.
• Replace the toothbrush often.
• Use water-soluble lubricating jelly to moisturize the mouth.
• Use bland rinses or plain sterile water. Frequent rinsing removes particles and bacteria from the mouth, prevents crusting of sores, and moistens and soothes sore gums and the lining of the mouth.
