A. Taking care of your 5-year-old’s teeth is essential to prevent cavities and ensure healthy permanent teeth. Here are some key tips: 🦷 Daily Dental Care Routine: ✔️ Brush Twice a Day: Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush. ✔️ Supervise Brushing: Teach your child to spit out toothpaste instead of swallowing. ✔️ Floss Daily: Start flossing if teeth are touching to remove food stuck between them. ✔️ Use a Tongue Cleaner: Gently clean the tongue to remove bacteria and bad breath. ✔️ Give Water After Meals: Helps wash away food particles and sugar. 🥗 Diet for Healthy Teeth: ✅ Give calcium-rich foods – milk, curd, cheese, almonds. ✅ Add fruits & veggies – apples, carrots, and cucumbers naturally clean teeth. ✅ Encourage drinking more water – prevents dry mouth and cavities. ❌ Avoid sticky sweets (chocolates, candies, lollipops). ❌ Limit sugary drinks (juices, soda). 🦷 Additional Tips: 🔹 Change toothbrush every 2-3 months or if bristles are frayed. 🔹 Regular Dental Checkups: Visit a dentist every 6 months for checkups and cleaning. 🔹 No Bottle at Bedtime: If your child still drinks milk from a bottle, stop before sleeping to prevent cavities. By following these tips, your child will have strong and healthy teeth for life! Let me know if you need more help. 😊
