Brushing children’s teeth

It is necessary to observe the rules of oral hygiene from the moment the first tooth appears – this is one of the main factors influencing the health of the dentition and the body as a whole. First, this is done with soft brushes without using toothpastes. Parents are responsible for the quality and regularity of these procedures, and to ensure effective and safe cleaning of children’s teeth, consult with your dentist regarding the choice of brush and paste.

But even strict adherence to hygiene and parental control does not guarantee complete elimination of plaque, therefore we recommend using the “teeth cleaning for children” service, which is carried out by our dentists.

Why do children need professional teeth cleaning

Professional cleaning of milk teeth is the same necessary procedure as cleaning of permanent teeth.

Microorganisms present in dental plaque have a detrimental effect on the entire body, which is expressed in the following:

• the occurrence of caries in milk and permanent teeth;
• violation of the gastrointestinal tract;
• diseases of the ENT organs;
• disorders in the work of the kidneys, etc.

Dental plaque is the main cause of dental and soft tissue diseases. If plaque is not removed for a long time, tartar forms on the enamel surface over time, which can only be removed with the help of special tools and equipment.

Insufficient dental hygiene in children is the reason for the accumulation of large amounts of plaque containing microbes that can provoke the development of such diseases as early caries, gingivitis, stomatitis, etc. Professional hygiene is the most effective prevention of these and many other diseases.

Due to the peculiarities of the functioning of the child’s body, cleaning of milk teeth at the dentist is shown to children more often than to adults. Children should visit the dentist every three months.

Brushing teeth for children at the dentist is a safe and painless procedure, which, among other things, allows children to get used to hygiene and the fact that today a visit to a dental clinic is in no way associated with pain.

How is professional teeth cleaning for children carried out

Brushing your teeth is necessary in case of insufficient oral hygiene, as well as before therapeutic treatment. The procedure is performed by a pediatric dentist who is fluent in the cleaning technique and has extensive experience in working with children.

Brushing your teeth is safe and does not injure tissues, and with high sensitivity, the doctor can use application anesthesia – a gel with an analgesic effect. In the smallest patients, the procedure is carried out using soft brushes, and at an older age, it is possible to use such a method as ultrasonic cleaning of teeth for children and using the Air Flow system. The procedure ends with teeth polishing and fluoridation.
