Oral and dental health is a subject that should be carefully protected from childhood. Milk teeth are of great importance for the healthy emergence of permanent teeth and the proper development of the jaw. Therefore, children should be taught proper oral care habits from an early age.

The habit of brushing teeth should be acquired with the emergence of the first tooth. A special soft-tipped toothbrush and fluoride children's toothpaste should be preferred for children. Teeth should be brushed at least twice a day, especially before going to bed at night.

In addition, in order to prevent tooth decay in children, the consumption of sugary foods and drinks should be limited and healthy snacks should be preferred. Water consumption should be encouraged and acidic and sticky foods should be avoided.

Dental health checks should start from the emergence of the first tooth. Regular dentist visits every 6 months are important in terms of early diagnosis and intervention of possible problems.

Remember, proper oral and dental care habits acquired in childhood form the basis for a healthy smile that will last a lifetime.
