POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy7 months agoA. 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. 😊
