Oral education for children
It is very necessary for the younger children to acquire proper oral hygiene habits since childhood, to internalize why it is important and what the consequences of neglecting the care of their mouth in the short and long term may be.
Education indental hygieneallows children to feel oral care as one more part of their daily routine from a very early age and carry it out naturally, preventing the development of future problems such as caries and, later, periodontal disease.
Important points in oral education
Daily brushed.You have to choose an appropriate brush according to the child’s age, with an ergonomic and thick handle that facilitates maneuverability.
Dental gel.The brushing should be accompanied by a flute-containing toothpaste or gel, the amount of which varies depending on age, as it helps to strengthen the enamel and reduce the chances of developing caries.
Silks and dental tapes.The recommended age to introduce dental silk is about 6 years, when children’s teeth begin to touch each other.
Sugar.Avoid the abuse of sugary foods and establish the relationship between the intake of these foods with subsequent good dental cleaning.
Dentist.Good prevention is always more beneficial to our health. It is therefore recommended at least a couple of times a year.

Frequently asked questions
Oral hygiene should begin as soon as the first teeth appear. At first, parents should carry out the brushing, and little by little the child can become involved until they are able to do it independently. Even so, adult supervision is important during the first few years.
Although it is less common than in adults, some children can develop tartar, especially in areas that are difficult to clean, in cases of mouth breathing, dental crowding or irregular oral hygiene. In these situations, a professional dental cleaning for children can help remove deposits and prevent gum inflammation.
Children should use a toothpaste suited to their age and with the amount of fluoride recommended by the paediatric dentist. The amount of toothpaste also varies depending on the child’s age, which is why personalised guidance during a dental visit is important.
It may be necessary when the teeth are close together and the toothbrush cannot clean properly between them. In many children, flossing is introduced at around the age of 6, although this depends on each case. The paediatric dentist can show parents how to use it safely and easily.
It helps to turn brushing into a positive routine: doing it at the same time every day, brushing together, using short songs or a sand timer, and avoiding presenting it as a punishment. The aim is for the child to associate brushing with self-care rather than obligation.
Yes. Tooth decay, infections or gum problems during childhood can affect future oral health. Baby teeth also help with chewing, speaking and maintaining space for the permanent teeth, so taking good care of them is essential.
