It is advised to follow the doctor’s instructions first in taking care of the child’s oral health in order to avoid problems later on. Before teething, only water is used to clean the child’s mouth. A piece of clean gauze can be used wet with water, and the child’s gums are gently cleaned at least once a day to remove bacteria. If the child begins to eat solid foods before teething, it is recommended to take this step after each meal.

As soon as your child’s teeth appear several months after his birth, the doctor may suggest using a children’s toothpaste specially made for the age group between 0-2 years, and a children’s toothbrush should be used with ultra-soft bristles, and after that, apply a very small amount of paste the size of a pill Rice on the brush, keep in mind that the child still can not spit out the paste, then brush the child’s teeth gently so that the angle of the brush to the teeth is 45 degrees and towards the gums.

You can also visit the dentist to consult him on how to take care of the child’s teeth, and how to train him from an early age to maintain the habit of brushing his teeth.

To avoid fluorosis or any other problems, the following is recommended:

• Use small amounts of toothpaste.
• Choose the appropriate toothpaste for the age group.
• Use water to get rid of the rest of the paste, as we mentioned that the child cannot spit out the toothpaste.
