🦷 When caring for a child's dental health, it is important to consider the following: Wat is important: • Let your child brush twice daily for at least 2 minutes with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. • Schedule regular check-ups with a dentist to monitor oral health to prevent possible teeth issues. • Promote a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and limit sugary drinks and snacks. • Encourage your child to drink water throughout the day. Try to avoid: • Excessive sugary drinks • Sticky candy • Ignoring early signs of decay • Consult a dentist immediately if there is discolouring of your child’s teeth • Hard foods for young children #SmileyKids #Preschool #SouthAfrica #learningthroughplay #earlychildhooddevelopment #raisingthepreschoolbenchmark #creche #nursery #healthyteeth #milkteeth #dentalcare #followus
