Dental Care For Kids
HEALTHY BABY TEETH
Did You Know…?
A child’s dental care actually begins when the baby is in the mother’s womb.That’s just one of the many reasons to take extra care of your health during pregnancy.It’s especially important for pregnant women to make sure they are getting a healthy, balanced diet. It is also very important that pregnant women to have a complete dental exam and have any cavities or gum disease treated as soon as possible. Pregnant women in the UK are still entitled to free NHS dental treatment. If you are lucky enough to have a good dental insurance plan then it is likely that you have already been advised that a visit to the dental surgery during your pregnancy would be a good idea.
The Childs Developing Teeth
Your child’s first teeth usually begin to break through the gums from the age of about 6 months old.Every child is different and this age will vary – don’t worry if your child gets his or her first teeth before or after this. Every child has twenty “baby”, or “milk” teeth; the first teeth which appear between the age of six months and three years old. The baby, or milk, teeth usually are only present up until the age of eleven – a child will normally start losing them at around age six.The molars will usually push through at around six years old. The last permanent teeth come out anywhere between the age of 12 and 21 years old.
By the time your child reaches the age of eight months or so, it should be possible for your dentist to spot any potential early problems. While only a short term view it’s good to be made aware of any initial concerns should there be any in your child’s near future.While they may not be medical doctors, dentists often have a wide range of knowledge and experience within the dental surgery field which help them advise on a range of related issues. The best reason for taking your child with you when you go to the dentist is familiarisation. You have a better chance of avoiding fear of dentists in your child if you take them with you to your own appointments.
When Should Your Child’s Dental Care Begin?
Parents should schedule their child’s dental visits for every six months.You should be thinking proactively about dental care by the time your child turns one. There is still a lot that a new mother can do from the very first time your child’s first tooth appears. Naturally you cannot use a tooth brush on a baby’s very first teeth, nor can you use adult toothpaste either. A toothbrush will have bristles which are much too hard for a baby’s teeth and adult tooth pastes have fluoride in them. There are many pros and cons relating to fluoride and although the argument on whether or not fluoride should be present in toothpaste will rage on for many years to come, it’s a good idea to avoid any toothpaste containing fluoride while your child is so young. The toothpaste is actually only a lubricant in any case and the best way to clean your baby’s teeth is to gently wipe the teeth and gums with a soft damp cloth. This will be more than sufficient in removing any sugars from bottled or breast milk and the juices that younger toddlers may drink. Sugars in foods can start the tooth decaying process at a very young age. The rule is simple, a gentle wipe over the teeth and gums each time after feeding and you will be doing a great job. It’s easier for parents to introduce a low fluoride toothpaste once the child has reached about two years old. Your dentist will be happy to advise you when choosing a brush and toothpaste for your child.
Any early dental problems cause by illness, disease or developmental issues should be referred to a specialist pediatric dentist. If there are dental problems which are caused by underlying issues such as poor circulation your pediatrician will make you aware of any additional treatments for you to look into.
Helpful Tips
1. Do not Share Eating Utensils.- Parents and carers may often share spoons and forks with their children. You may leave saliva on the spoon which may contain tooth decay bacteria. You can help prevent early childhood tooth decay by making sure that your family practices good dental health habits. If you do share a spoon with your baby or test the temperature of the bottled milk by taking a sip from the teat, wipe the teat or wipe your baby’s teeth and gums after they have have been fed. Keeping your own teeth and gums healthy reduces the risk of transferring tooth decay bacteria to your child.
2. Avoid Giving a Bottle to Send Baby to Sleep.- The acids found in the sugars present in milk, formula, juice or other flavoured drink can cause tooth decay which is more likely to occur if you put your child to bed with a bottle. This one is a lot easier to say than to do!
3. A Healthy Diet Will Help Your Teeth. - Ensure your children are getting the nutrients needed for strong teeth, healthy gums and less risk of tooth decay. These include fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Try to avoid too many foods that are high in sugar and processed carbohydrates, such as pastries, white pasta, and white bread. Even seemingly innocent fruits which we all try to get our children to eat more of contain sugars which can be harmful to their teeth, so it’s important to strike the right balance.
4. How to Clean the Teeth. - Use a soft cloth to clean your baby’s teeth as soon as you start to notice their teeth breaking through their little gums. As more teeth come in you can clean them with a soft toothbrush, using only water rather than toothpaste for the first few months.
5. Fluoride Can Help Development of Healthy Teeth. - When your child is about a year old you can begin to use a small amount of fluoride toothpaste when brushing.
6. Flossing Time – You should begin flossing your child’s teeth as soon as you notice their teeth beginning to touch each other.
7. On Their Own – Your child can learn how to brush his or her own teeth at about 3 years of age. By the time they are four years of age, children should be brushing their own teeth twice a day – in the morning and before bedtime.They may be capable of brushing by themselves, but you should supervise to make sure they are doing it correctly.
Now is the time to teach your children about the importance of looking after their teeth properly; if they don’t learn now it will be much harder for them to understand the importance of dental hygiene in the future. Dencover dental insurance have dedicated an entire web site to helping you maintain beautiful healthy teeth and offering tips and advice on the best ways that you can insure your smile.

Alphabet Juice $9.99 Ali G: How many words does you know? Noam Chomsky: Normally, humans, by maturity, have tens of thousands of them. Ali G: What is some of ‘em? —Da Ali G Show Did you know that both mammal and matter derive from baby talk? Have you noticed how wince makes you wince? Ever wonder why so many h-words have to do with breath? Roy Blount Jr. certainly has, and after forty years of making a living using words in every medium, print or electronic, except greeting cards, he still can’t get over his ABCs. In Alphabet Juice , he celebrates the electricity, the juju, the sonic and kinetic energies, of letters and their combinations. Blount does not prescribe proper English. The franchise he claims is “over the counter.” Three and a half centuries ago, Thomas Blount produced Blount’s Glossographia , the first dictionary to explore derivations of English words. This Blount’s Glossographia takes that pursuit to other levels, from Proto-Indo-European roots to your epiglottis. It rejects the standard linguistic notion that the connection between words and their meanings is “arbitrary.” Even the word arbitrary is shown to be no more arbitrary, at its root, than go-to guy or crackerjack . From sources as venerable as the OED (in which Blount finds an inconsistency, at whisk ) and as fresh as Urbandictionary.com (to which Blount has contributed the number-one definition of “alligator arm”), and especially from the author’s own wide-ranging experience, Alphabet Juice derives an organic take on language that is unlike, and more fun than, any other. |

Champion Household-Model Juice Extractor, White $278.95 The Champion Juicer is driven by a 1/3 horsepower heavy-duty motor that separates juice from pulp in a continuous operation. Used in professional kitchens, it can wring the juice out of fennel and ginseng as well as carrots or watermelon. Fruits and vegetables are sent down the feed tube, juice drains out of the screen holder, and pulp slides out the tapered end. No intermittent cleaning is required. Try pressing frozen pieces of banana down the feed tube to make instant all-fruit ice. The included recipe book explains how to produce juices, sauces, sorbets, nut butters, and baby foods. |
