From the age of 3, children should learn how to brush their teeth correctly and dental check-ups should take place, even if they only have their milk teeth.
It is important for the child to pick up the habit of cleaning their teeth. When they are so young, it is difficult to instil discipline, so it is often difficult to ensure the child heeds their parents. Using games, toys or little stories or tales may motivate the child to brush their teeth.
Once the brushing habit is ingrained so young, it is unlikely it will ever be discarded. Therefore, the child will have good oral health.
Children need more frequent dental check-ups because of their lifestyle. Moreover, their milk teeth are much weaker than their adult teeth, which means it is easier for caries to appear.
