Babies and Kids

Following good habits from the get-go will set your children up for better dental health as they get older.

Encouraging healthy teeth in children is not just about having a beautiful smile. Your children need healthy teeth to chew and speak properly. Pedro offers the following tips for keeping your child’s teeth strong.

• Only put unsweetened milk, breast milk or formula in your baby’s bottle.
• Make sure your child finishes their bottle before putting them to bed.
• Never dip a dummy in sugar or honey, and refrain from putting it in your own mouth to clean it before giving it to your child.
• Encourage your child to drink from a cup from the age of one.
• Discourage prolonged use of a beaker.
• Serve water and healthy snacks from a young age.
• Limit your child’s sugar intake.
• Teach your child the connection between healthy eating and healthy teeth.
