Pls Share, as Sharing is Caring

To prevent bad breath from happening, there are 4 basic things you should do as a parent or guardian:

1. Teach your child the proper oral hygiene. The best way to do it is by brushing your teeth together. Also, allow your child to choose the toothbrush and toothpaste he wants to use. Just make sure that you guide him to the right type of bristle and toothbrush with fluoride.
2. Make visit to the doctor a regular habit. Children at their early age develop fear with dentist. To avoid it, introduce your child as early as 1 year old. Maintain a family dentist so that your child can build a trust to him. A good relationship between your child and his dentist will ensure that he maintains a good dental health.
3. Prevent bad habits that cause nasal infection and dry mouth. If you see you child sucking his blanket, tell him to stop. Or, if you see that he is sticking foreign objects in his nostrils, stop him.
4. Treat allergies, colds, and sinusitis immediately. If these things are prevented, then bad breath is less likely to happen.
