7 Ways To Keep Your Child Teeth Safe

There is nothing more contagious than the Laughter of your children; it doesn’t even have to matter what they are laughing about.

When kids laugh they spread happiness everywhere.

For me smile is the most precious thing in this world. So the smallest human’s smile/laughter need more attention. We need to take care of things which we don’t want to hurt our kids in future.

Teeth are the base of smile.  And to secure your little ones smile we have to take care of their teeth too.

It sounds like a very normal topic but it is very intense, because these little monkeys will never listen to therir parents and will never do what they are asked to do.

Tooth decay is very normal in toddlers these days, even my own daughter is suffering from that. You know excess of anything is not good. Whether it’s breastmilk. We need to be carefully about what we have in our hands.

Maithili was a kid who “only breastfeed” till 18-19 months. So because of breastmilk her tooth started decaying. She had breastmilk in her breakfast, snacks, lunch, dinner etc. I tried to feed her other things too like rice, roti, porridge, puree. But she didn’t eat any of them.

One day someone gave her chocolate and chips and then she has her comfort food with her and that is what she look every where.
