Dental health for kids advised on.
Parents have been advised of some of the methods they can use to ensure their children have good oral health.
Aisha Sultan wrote in an article for the Idaho Statesman that children should use toothpaste that does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate, as this can cause canker sores in younger users.
Furthermore, the use of night guards can help children avoid clenching and grinding their teeth during the night, while older kids should start using a mouthwash to help improve their oral health routine further.
In addition, she noted: “Dentistry is a healing experience and should not be traumatic. Take your child with you to your dental appointments from a young age.”
The recent National Health Interview Study revealed 77 per cent of the children in the US whose parents had made a trip to the dentist in the last 12 months were not worried about their own check-ups, compared to 63 per cent for those whose parents did not accompany them.
