Children's age, when the first teeth have already appeared, requires constant care for them. Initially, children's teeth are cleaned by adults themselves, because children do not yet understand what it is. To clean it is necessary a toothbrush, which is directed precisely at this age of the baby. The process itself should last at the beginning of about ten to fifteen seconds. Over time, it is necessary to increase time. It is very important at the first stage to interest the child with this concept. To show a toothbrush, to awaken the child's desire for this process.

As for the hygiene of the oral cavity, the necessary components for care are toothpaste and a toothbrush. To choose a toothbrush for a child is very serious. Its bristles should be soft, and it should be of short length. The head of the toothbrush should also be small, but as far as its handle, it should be long. To the kid, for whom brushing of teeth is a new discovery, it is necessary to choose a toothbrush that will have a shorter handle, but a sufficiently large one. So, the child will feel it better. As for the amount of dental paste required for one procedure, it is worth noting that its dose should not exceed the size of the nail on your baby's little finger. If the toothpaste will radiate an unusually delicious aroma, for example sweets or various fruits or berries, the child this procedure will be much more pleasant. It is important to pay attention to ensure that the child does not overdo it and does not eat it. After all, then it can lead to allergies, as well as possible damage to the mucosa.

Kislit, which is present in these hygienic napkins, will suppress growth and will help stop the reproduction of bacteria, which in turn lead to caries. Also, the napkins are very comfortable to use at the time of teething. Keep them in a cool place, so it's best to use a refrigerator. And in a cold state napkins can also alleviate pain and discomfort.
It is also necessary to draw on no less significant means hygiene - dental floss. With her help, you can teach a child to remove pieces of the food in places where the toothbrush is powerless.
