Looking after toddlers teeth
We all know how important is it to look after your teeth, but when it comes to toddlers it can be quite a difficult task. Here are some tips to help you and your toddler keep their little teeth clean and cavity free:
- Buy them a toothbrush with one of their favourite character ( Minnie, mickey mouse, minons) or even something bright that will catch their eye
- Books or Tv shows that show characters brushing their teeth is always a big hit with my toddler. She loves to copy them and it really helps
- Get your toddler to practice brushing teeth on their dolly or favourite toy
- When your toddler is going to brush their teeth try brushing your teeth with them too. It can be something fun for Mammy/Daddy to do with your toddler. Make it fun! J
- Limit sugary juices and foods. Juices are usually the main cause of cavities in toddler teeth. Keep juices for special occasions if possible.
- Make sure to praise your toddler when brushing their teeth, give them a compliment and they will be sure to keep up the good work.
