Dental Care problems & Tips for Toddlers

Why Is dental care Important  ?

By kindergarten, more than 40% of kids have cavities. Dental Care should start as early as possible. Even When Your Baby has no teeth. Massage the gums twice daily for a healthy growth. Use oils like Sesame for massage & cleaning. Benefits of Sesame oil are well known & its ingestion is beneficial to child. The child should also visit a dentist before his first birthday.

 As soon as they appear. Start cleaning out a baby’s mouth even before any teeth appear using a wet washcloth. Tooth decay -- although largely preventable with good care -- is one of the most common chronic diseases of children and teens ages 6 to 19.

• Avoid Prolonged bottle use, especially at night, and sweetened drinks .
• Carbohydrates in the beverages like sweetened milk, soft drinks, juices & other artificial sweetened products promote the growth of the bacteria that causes cavities.Please Avoid Junk Food & packaged foods & drinks.

• Make sure to feed the toddler at least 5 2-tbsp. (29.7 ml) size servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Include fruits such as strawberries, cantaloupe, blueberries, grapefruit, oranges, guava, papaya and mango. Boost immunity with good vegetable choices including sweet potatoes, broccoli, carrots, squash, kale and spinach. These fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and antioxidants and help increase white blood cell count and boost antibodies, as well as natural killer cells. Natural killer cells attack microbes and cancer producing cells.
• Add fish or fish oil to the toddler's diet. Fish is a source of omega 3 fatty acids, which increase macrophage activity. Macrophages are white cells that eat bacteria in the body. Serve cold water fish varieties such as salmon, as these provide the greatest amount of omega 3. You can feed a toddler up to 3 3-oz. (85 g) servings per week, or you can mix the oil from 1 fish oil capsule into the toddler's food per day.
• Serve foods containing probiotics. Probiotics are healthy bacteria found in the gut. Toddlers who eat probiotic foods like buttermilk or fresh yogurt  may have increased immunity to rotavirus and urinary tract infections.
