When you’re young and growing, most of what you develop as a child will have formed directly from your parents and your upbringing. At this stage in growth, it becomes vital to develop good habits because whichever habit you learn in this period of life, it becomes set in stone in your later years, and this is especially important when it comes to tooth care.
Furthermore, as a young child, you will develop the urge to eat sweets, drink fizzy drinks and maintain an unhealthy diet. As a result, the symptoms of developing teeth stains will be be very high. Therefore, it’s important to teach kids the correct habits when it comes to good dental care.
When doing so, the basics and fundamentals will need to be taught but also gone into detail as to the extent of the things you need to do to maintain good dental health. Of course, in looking at this, it becomes obvious that again, the best advice given will always be the basics and fundamentals.
So lets delve further into the steps we need to take when explaining correct fundamentals to children:
- Correct amount of toothpaste – When applying toothpaste to your tooth brush, it is essential to at least put enough that it covers your brush bristles. This will ensure that you have applied just enough to cover the entire area of your teeth when brushing.
- Spend 30 seconds per mouth area – It is important to tell the child that at least 30 seconds will need to be spent per area of your mouth in order to brush away any plaque or dirt from your teeth. This will result in 2 minutes brushing which is typically a reasonable time spent brushing, rinshing and flossing.
- Rinse thoroughly - After brushing, it is important to rinse your mouth toroughly and to take away any excess tooth paste from your mouth which by this point will have contained dirt and other excess that was brushed away from your teeth. We can take this a stage further to advise our kids to use medical mouth wash. However, the first stage will always be the rinsing of the mouth.
- Floss – This is the most commonly over looked area in dental care. many people brush their teeth, but a very few floss in between their teeth in order to get into areas which your tooth brush didn’t.
