The Ramstein Dental Clinic will host a dentistry seminar July 25 to teach parents how to keep their children’s teeth clean.
Since the beginning of the year, there have been over 400 births in the KMC! It is important to ensure those little bundles of joy are exposed to good oral health practices early.
The Ramstein Dental Clinic offers some helpful tips for developing an effective oral health strategy.
Constant exposure to sugar promotes bacterial growth and encourages cavity formation. If a baby is given a bottle during the night make sure it does not contain sugar. It is recommended to only give water in the bottle at night.
After bottle feeding or nursing, wipe the baby’s mouth with a clean washcloth to reduce plaque and bacteria accumulation. Start brushing as soon as the first tooth erupts in the mouth and begin flossing when two teeth begin to touch. Parents are responsible for brushing and flossing the baby’s teeth.
Regular dental visits are essential to monitoring oral growth and development. The first visit should occur by the child’s first birthday.
On July 25, the Ramstein Dental Clinic offers a preventive dentistry seminar targeting parents of children 0 to 3 years of age. This open forum offers an avenue for early oral health screenings as well as promoting healthy dental habits. Call 479-2210 or 06371-46-2210 to reserve a seat.
Attitudes and habits established at an early age are critical in maintaining good oral health throughout life. Come and join the staff at Ramstein Dental Clinic as we endeavor to keep the baby’s smile bright and establish healthy habits to last a lifetime.
