As a parent, it's important that you help your child develop proper hygienic techniques that they can continue to use well into their adulthood. This includes showing your child the proper way to care for their teeth. Here are five dental health tips for you to help your children grow into the perfect set of adult/permanent teeth:

1.  Use an Infant Toothbrush: First off, the best way to brush your child's teeth is to use a soft-bristled toothbrush that is designed for infants. This is because the head of the toothbrush will be designed small enough to fit into your child's mouth. This is important to ensuring that your child can reach the back of their mouth without any problems. Also, be sure that they are brushing their teeth at least once a day. 
2. See a Pediatric Dentist: When your child's first tooth emerges, it's important that you set up their first appointment with a pediatric dentist. The reason you should have it set up through a pediatric dentist instead of a regular dentist is because a pediatric dentist goes through extra dental training to work specifically with children or those with special needs. Pediatric dentists, for this reason, also have special training in learning how to be patient and work with children who may not be so cooperative. This makes it easier on you when making your child's first dental appointment.
3. Remember, Baby Teeth are Important: Many parents often forget just how important baby teeth actually are. The baby teeth are important for proper speech development and chewing. Plus, the baby teeth help develop a path for the permanent teeth to follow. This is why it is so important to take special care of your child's teeth from the moment the first one emerges. 
4. Prevent Decay Properly: Decay in children's teeth is especially prevalent when children are still using a bottle or are still nursing. This is because the milk can form into sugar in the mouth that can cause decay. This is why it is important not to nurse or bottle-feed your child to sleep. 
5. Learn How to Floss Your Child's Teeth: Flossing your child's teeth can be difficult, especially if you child is not cooperative. The best way to get them to cooperate is to floss your own teeth at the same time. You should ask the pediatric dentist for some advice on how to properly floss your child's teeth, which is important to start doing once they have their full set of baby teeth. 

By following these dental tips for your children's teeth, you can be sure that your child develops great habits and you won't have to worry about expensive dental care in the future.
