Parents have the role of keeping their children healthy and happy. When it comes to dental health, the  Tooth Fairy  is an exciting approach to introducing your child to oral hygiene.

Most toddlers have a complete set of teeth when they are about two years. By the time they are turning five or six, baby teeth start to loosen and fall off giving way to permanent teeth. It’s vital to cultivate a dental hygiene routine during this period

Many parents from various cultures take the loss of their children’s baby teeth as a rite of passage. They want to make it a smooth experience.

The Tooth Fairy is folklore adopted in many civilizations. It advises children to place each lost baby tooth under their pillow when going to bed.

As they sleep, the Tooth Fairy (usually the child’s parent or guardian) visits and takes it for a cash reward. The  average American the Tooth Fairy payout is $3.70 , according to research.

For infants, wipe their teeth with a gauze square or clean cloth. Teach your child to brush by age two or three. Let them use a child’s toothbrush with a  pea-sized dab of toothpaste. They can remove plaque with fine back and forth strokes. Help them to brush the areas they miss and rinse the mouth thoroughly.

As your kids grow older, teach them these dental care practices.

Reward your children for upholding good oral hygiene.

Ensure your children understand the importance of dental health at a tender age. Take them to a pediatric dentist for checkups regularly. They will less likely develop dental-phobia or tooth complications in the future.
