for this reason that the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that expectant mothers receive dental checkups and counseling regularly, in order to prevent, intervene, and treat dental problems.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>For expectant mothers, here are some perinatal oral care tips:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Floss and brush your teeth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To eliminate harmful oral bacteria, use ADA-approved, fluoridated toothpaste at least twice a day, and floss at least once.\u00a0 It is also recommended that you use an alcohol-free mouthwash on a daily basis.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Chew gum <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> By chewing 3-5 times daily, xylitol, a natural substance, has been shown to reduce infant and toddler caries (cavities).\u00a0 Xylitol is the only sugar substitute that has been proven effective in clinical studies when choosing gum.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Diet evaluation <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is always important to maintain a balanced, nourishing diet, but it is particularly important during pregnancy.\u00a0 Keep a food diary and reduce your intake of sugary and starchy foods.\u00a0 It is believed that sugars and starches provide food for oral bacteria, as well as increasing the risk of tooth decay.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Visit the dentist regularly <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is important to see your dentist regularly so that he can bolster your homecare preventative efforts and provide excellent advice.\u00a0 Teeth can be checked by the dentist, and strategies for reducing oral bacteria can be provided by the dentist.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f2f7bff elementor-invisible elementor-widget

are unaware that cavity-causing bacteria can be transmitted from their mother or father to their children.\u00a0 Parents transmit this disease by sharing eating utensils and cleaning pacifiers in their mouths.\u00a0 A parent should use different eating utensils from their infant and rinse pacifiers with warm water rather than sucking them.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>To enhance infant oral health, parents should also follow the following guidelines:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Brushing &#8211;<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Two times a day, brush your teeth gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and ADA-approved non-fluoridated toothpaste (for children under two).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Flossing &#8211;<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cavities can form between teeth as soon as two adjacent teeth appear in the mouth of an infant.\u00a0 Consult a pediatric dentist for advice on flossing an infant&#8217;s teeth.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use of pacifiers &#8211;<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is a soothing tool for infants to use pacifiers.\u00a0 If you decide to purchase a pacifier, make sure that it is orthodontically correct (you may ask the pediatric dentist for recommendations).\u00a0 Do not dip pacifiers in honey or any other sweet liquid.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Drinking glasses should be used &#8211;<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Infant and toddler tooth decay is largely caused by baby bottles and sippy cups.\u00a0 In both cases, a small amount of liquid can be repeatedly sucked into the mouth.\u00a0 The result is that sugary liquid (milk, soda, juice, formula, breastmilk, or sweetened water) is constantly swilling around in the infant&#8217;s mouth, which encourages the growth of bacteria and accelerates tooth decay.\u00a0 After an infant&#8217;s first birthday, only offer water in sippy cups.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Take your child to the pediatric dentist &#8211;<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A pediatric dentist should examine the infant around the age of one for a &#8220;well baby&#8221; appointment.\u00a0 During an examination by the pediatric dentist, the tooth and jaw development will be examined, and strategies for future oral hygiene will be provided.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The gums should be wiped &#8211;<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As soon as the first tooth emerges, the infant is at risk for early cavities.\u00a0 After every feeding, wipe the gums of young infants with a damp cloth.\u00a0 By doing so, you minimize the risk of early cavities and reduce oral bacteria.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact your pediatric dentist if you have any further questions about perinatal or infant oral
