babies’ teeth need special care.

Infants will begin getting their first teeth around the six to nine-month mark and therefore parents need to understand how best to look after their children’s teeth.

Paediatric dentistry firm Kearns, Ashby, Rajchel & Kearns told Pennlive.com that children’s teeth can be prone to decay of they are not looked after properly and there are a number of simple rules to ensure they remain healthy.

The firm noted children should not be allowed to fall asleep with a drink and as soon as teeth appear, parents should take the time to brush them after eating with a damp cloth.

Elsewhere, research carried out as part of the Australian Child Health Survey recently revealed that 50 per cent of children under six in the country have signs of tooth decay, according to Cosmetic Dentistry Guide.

The report concluded that parents in Australia therefore need to ensure their children are taking better care of their teeth.
