Oral care is not just about having a good smile; it is also about maintaining consistent oral hygiene to ensure good health of teeth and gums. Parents should start giving attention to the baby’s oral care and prevention of cavities at an early stage. Babies with good oral hygiene stay healthier and happier during their teething period.
Even Pediatricians also recommend starting a proper oral hygiene routine early in life and cleaning the baby’s gums after each feed to remove any bacteria that may be present. The cavities in primary teeth further increase the risk of developing caries in permanent teeth. Therefore, the baby’s mouth and teeth must be protected with a controlled diet (low in sugar), good quality toothpaste & gum gel, and frequent use of the toothbrush.
Keeping this in mind, the leading baby care brand, Chicco has introduced its oral care range especially suitable for babies during the growth of their milk teeth.
