How to brush teeth to children? Care for the first teeth in the infant to the year, the teeth cleaning technique to the baby in 2 years, the rules for the other age. How much time do you need to brush your teeth?

The kid's mouth hygiene is worth thinking on the stage of his infancy: already at this time, the child must receive the necessary procedures. Of course, no one closes with a brush in the mouth of a three-month infant, but as soon as the teeth "proceeded", it's time to do them.

Fundamental rules

Interestingly, milk teeth are formed on the sixth week of intrauterine development: there should be 20 of them in the norm. Milk teeth are temporary, but consist of the same tissues as constant - pulp, dentin, enamel. True, the dairy teeth have low crowns, a long distance between the latter, long thin roots (they are literally absorbed before falling out) and very thin enamel.

Since the structure of dairy teeth is not globally different from the structure of constant, the departure of the first teeth is needed full. As soon as the first cutter appeared, the baby can begin to brush the teeth.

The main rules for parents.

1. Already immediately after discharge from the maternity hospital, the mother should follow the hygiene cavity of the baby: the gums of the kid should be gently wiped with a dense gauze tampon, pre-dipped in warm water. Instead of water, you can use chamomile infusion, broth of the Zverca or calendula. But herbal infusions are not constantly used, and once or two a week.
2. When the child appeared a teeth, you can begin to clean them. But the toothpaste at this stage is not needed. A special soft children's brush is useful to buy a "tobast" baby and handle it not only a teeth, but also gums. If you do not want a brush, you can buy a silicone overlay - it is put on your mother's finger or dad.
3. The first cleaning is very careful. The gums around the teething tooth usually inflamed, because touch can be painful for the baby. But it is impossible to abandon cleaning: the local immunity is reduced during teething, and therefore bacteria will act more aggressive.
4. Children even from infancy to clean the teeth better twice a day. And preferably at the same time. Kids are very tied to the regime, to automation, to the usual way. Therefore, the cleaning procedure should not be spontaneous, but inscribed in the routine of the baby.
5. By time, cleaning takes 1-2 minutes maximum, because the child still has little teeth and a small mouth.

Conclusion: The best option for the baby is a silicone overlay that cleans the enamel and massages the gums. And the first brush may appear after a year, the option with silicone pumps will be optimal. Closer to two years, the child appears the first classic children's toothbrush.

Cleaning technique up to year

Read more about how to deal with infants. All actions are careful and very careful. The child must be calmly with the parent, the procedure should be carried out in a comfortable environment, accompanying the actions with various cute and soothing words.

One child's teeth appear in 4 months, 6 months, 8 - all in different ways. But usually by 10-11 months, the child confidently has several tooths (2 lower cutters as accurately, in most cases). If the kid, still being a newborn, got a wedding tampon massage, he is unlikely to be afraid of cleaning. Because a full-fledged procedure for cleaning teeth with a brush and a small child in 1 year or a half will be fully ready if the mother always took care of his teeth.

How to clean the teeth and gums to the baby up to the year:

• need to make movements from the root to the top;
• Mom's finger with silicone nozzle should be kept at an angle of 45 degrees;
• The treatment of upper planes requires horizontal holding nozzles, move along the tooth it is necessary to translate;
• From the inside enamel is cleaned by short finger movements.
• Side walls are cleaned with circular motions.

On each tooth accounts for about 10-12 movements. With proper cleaning, not only the enamel part of the tooth is processed, but also the gums, the mucosa of the inside of the cheeks and the language. Alternative to silicone nozzle can be special dental napkins that are sold in pharmacies.

Attention! Some moms are confident that the cleaning of the teeth is not needed, because in maternal milk there is everything to protect the child from diseases. And from bacteria that "attack" on the teeth after meals - too. But it is not. Milk does not purify the oral cavity, he does not have such a purpose.

After breast feeding, as after the mixture, it is possible to clean the oral cavity only with napkins, a tampon or a nozzle. It may not be worth doing this every time, but in the morning and in the evening - it is necessary.

How to clean the raid for children 2 or more

Almost always with a toothpaste, a child meets at 2nd aged: dentists recommend to focus on this age mark. There are compounds that are designed for children to shame, there are no fluorine in them, they are safe, but are suitable, of course, not everyone. Little children will swallow the paste or, on the contrary, to spit it, as soon as she falls into his mouth. Therefore, conscious cleaning and occurs after the achievement of two years, when the child can already be agreed.

Standard cleaning scheme.

1. The brush must be moistened in warm water. On the humidified pile should squeeze a small fragment of pasta. Usually enough such a quantity so that it occupies a third or half of the pile area, much is not needed.
2. At an angle of 90 degrees, the cleaning tool should be reduced to crowns.
3. Dental enamel should be cleaned in the direction from the roots to the vertices, as if man wants to fit the dirt from the tooth surface. It's about it, strictly speaking, he does.
4. From the inside the teeth are cleaned by short movements, the brush will already be moved to an angle of 45 degrees.
5. The cutting and chewing surfaces of the teeth are processed by the latter.
6. Completing cleaning, you need to rinse your mouth with warm clean water.

If balsam is used for rinsing, it completes the processing of the oral cavity. Then you need to wash the brush itself, which should also teach the kid from the earliest years.

To say that a two-year-old child will be happy to work clean and will do it in all the rules, of course, it is impossible. For about three years, it will open the mouth, and parents are cleaned. As soon as it becomes clear that the child is ready to seriously consider the instrument to clean the teeth himself, he is given freedom of action. But strictly under the parental control and with the adjustment of all not very correct movements.

Be sure to show the ritual of teeth cleaning on himself. Most of all in the light of the kids love to copy, and therefore, no one has canceled the sacred effect.

10 moments that parents may not know.

1. Change toothbrush to the child follows 3-4 months. Even the best and most expensive.
2. You need to start an independent teeth care in 2.5 years. The focus on the word "start": about just to three years, the baby will do it confident.
3. Until a year, every child should at least once be at the dentist. Even if the teeth are not yet. After all, the doctor assesses not only their condition, but also the health of the oral cavity.
4. So that the baby does not come down in the cleaning process, did not finish the procedure earlier than what is required, he needs a timer. The usual hourglass will rise. Today, special brushes are sold with a timer that give a signal when cleaning should be completed.
5. From the small years, the child must understand that the brush, the cup should be only individual.
6. Treat milk teeth, if they "attacked" the caries - be sure. This is not subject to doubt. Often, treatment takes 5 minutes, unless, of course, the process is not running. The child should not be afraid of the office of the dentist - if you competently pick up the clinic and the doctor for the first campaign, positive emotions will be enshrined, and the person will not know what fear is at the Cabinet of Dentist.
7. In some countries there is such a tradition: if the child does not try to clean the teeth, eat a lot of sweets, does not want to go to the doctor, the dental fairy does not give him a gift. The tooth fell, and in the morning there is not a car in the dresser, but a letter, where partitioned, but it is strictly written that the Fairy "cannot give a respected path, since he inappropriately cleans his teeth, eats candy out of measure and do not make friends with a dentist."
8. When the teeth are changing, the child may be stressful to react. For example, to be afraid that he swallows the fallen tooth. If parental assurances that it is not scary, do not help, you need to consult a good dentist. And at 5, and at 7, and even at 9 years old, the child needs a council from a funny pro, which colorfully tells how it is cool - the change of teeth - and why it is not entirely scary.
9. And the teenager will tell such a doctor that not very beautiful teeth is temporarily that the jaw is growing and everything will fall into place. And if it does not get up, there are many cool and increasing ways to fix it.
10. In kindergartens, in grade 1, the child also cleans his teeth. Parents should find out how much Chado makes it outside their control.

Can I use an electric brush?

About three years old (no earlier) electric brush is really available for use. But only the cleaning should be carried out in this case, the parent. Children's enamel is very thin, very sensitive. The brush head rotates, pulsates, and it can harm the enamel layer of milk teeth. If a microcracy is formed, then bacteria will settle, and then - caries.

Consider what electrolates for children today are presented on the market.

• Classic. This is a housing equipped with a motor who has a round head with a pile. The nozzle rotates at a given speed, effectively removing the flare and food residues.
• Sound. Such a brush is not only rotated, but also makes certain oscillations, which removes pathogens from the surface of the enamel more thoroughly.
• Ultrasound. Winner in the category "Efficiency". Ultrasonic waves destroy the film created by pathogens, and they do it better than mechanical cleansing.

Of course, the cleaning technique is simplified with power tools. The child conditionally must divide the oral cavity on the 4 segment: the top left, the upper right and the lower left and right parts. The moisturized brush with a drop of paste is applied at an angle of 45 degrees, and on it begins to work itself. Each site is given approximately half a minute. But a child will be able to fully brush the teeth for years to 6 for years, and then if the parent is confident in the correctness of his actions.

Conclusions are simple: no suitable time to start cleaning teeth. Already a newborn child needs mom gently and affectionately processed his lescape with a special nozzle from silicone or a dental napkin. By two years, the child is confidently familiar with the brush, and three - begins to clean the teeth itself.

If the culture of the care of the oral cavity is present in the life of a child with infancy, parents will give him a huge and important contribution to the health of the teeth for life.
