It is so exciting when your children’s first teeth are loose
and their permanent teeth begin to come in. Dr. Lee recommends these six tips
to care for your child’s permanent teeth.
·
Parents should continue to help the children,
6-8 years old, brush their teeth twice a day until they can show that they can
do a good job on their own.
·
Use a soft toothbrush with a pea-sized amount of
fluoridated toothpaste
·
Teach the child to spit out the foamy saliva
·
Begin flossing the child’s teeth daily as soon
as any teeth are touching each other
·
Talk to the dentist about the child to make sure
they are getting the right amount of fluoride
·
Sealants
Permanent teeth can last a lifetime if your child takes care
of them. From the beginning of the first permanent tooth coming in to the last,
it is critical to have your child take care of their teeth. For more information contact Dr. Anna Lee
