The Irish Independent reported keeping baby teeth decay-free is an important part of keeping a child healthy.

Ensuring children brush their teeth regularly is an important part of maintaining oral health and children under seven should be supervised by an adult.

“Do not allow a child to fall asleep with a bottle of milk, formula, fruit juices or other sweet liquids. If your child needs to be comforted between regular feedings or during naps give [them] a bottled filled with cool boiled water,” the publication noted.

Elsewhere, researchers for the Cochrane Oral Health Group recently revealed a minimum concentration of fluoride in children’s toothpastes of 1,000 parts per million (ppm) could have a significantly positive impact on oral health.

However, the organisation noted that at present, concentrations in these products range from 100 to 1,400 ppm.
