HOW TO PROTECT YOUR BABY’S TEETH FROM CAVITIES ?


For CAREGIVER/ MOTHER:
• Eat healthy foods to reduce the cavity-causing germs in your mouth.
• Brush your teeth with a toothpaste that contains fluoride.
• Do not put anything in your baby’s mouth that has been in your mouth including spoons or a toothbrush, do not blow on your baby’s food
• Do not use your spit to clean your baby’s pacifier - use water instead.
• If you have bleeding gums or cavities, you should visit your dentist as soon as possible.

FOR YOUR BABY:
• Before your baby’s first tooth becomes visible in the mouth, you should wipe the mouth every day with a soft, moist washcloth. As soon as teeth become visible in the mouth, brush the teeth with a small soft bristle toothbrush that contains a rice-sized smear of fluoride-containing toothpaste.
• Encourage your baby to spit out the toothpaste.
• You should brush your child’s teeth at least twice each day - once in the morning and once at night. Remember, the most important time to brush your baby’s teeth is right before bedtime.
• Talk to your baby’s pediatrician or pediatric dentist about the right amount of fluoride for your baby. Ask if your child should be brushing with toothpaste that contains fluoride.
• Avoid giving your baby sticky foods and unhealthy snacks like candy, soda or juice in between meals. Instead, give your baby healthy snacks like cheese, yogurt or fruit. Only give your baby treats or juice at meal times.
• Establish bedtime routines that do not involve using the bottle filled with milk or juice to soothe the baby to sleep. Also avoid having the baby sleep with a bottle filled with milk or juice as the natural sugars in these liquids will get changed to acid, which will rot or decay the teeth and lead to dental infection and pain. Avoid having your baby drink from a sippy cup filled with juice between meals.
• Do not give your baby juice until he is 6 months old. Do not give your baby more than 4-6 ounces of juice per day.
• If you see white spots developing on your baby’s teeth, then take your baby to a pediatric dentist right away. A white spot is often the first sign of a dental cavity.
• Schedule your baby’s first dental visit with a pediatric dentist when she is one year old.
Pediatric dentists have additional training beyond dental school, working with babies and young children.
Remember - first tooth, first birthday, first dental visit.

A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there.

He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work.
