The most common doubts
The maximum age recommended by pediatric dentistry to remove the pacifier is 2 years, although in some children it should be a gradual process starting at one year of age.
With the little ones, we have to avoid situations that for us are everyday occurrences but that for them can cause later problems in their dental health: kissing them in the mouth, blowing on their food or sucking on their pacifier to clean it.
Pediatric dentists advise early education in the consumption of foods that contain a low percentage of sugar. Avoid sweets, soft drinks and foods that adhere easily to the tooth surface.
Teeth cleaning, and even before the teeth come in, should be the responsibility of the parents. Although no children's dentist establishes a specific age for minors to begin to clean their teeth by themselves, from the age of 2 years old children can "play" at cleaning their teeth to inculcate the habit. Always under the supervision of an adult who should help them to brush their teeth correctly.
