Moms, do you have a problem with your child having holes in his milk teeth when he is still 4 years old? I was very surprised when I found out that Azzam’s milk teeth had holes in his molars, even though I felt like I was brushing his teeth regularly twice every day.
Thank God, Azzam has not had any complaints of pain in his tooth, but I am very worried and hope that the hole in his tooth can be fixed.
Start correcting mistakes in how to care for our teeth, Moms, and teach them to your children, so that your child doesn’t have holes in their milk teeth.
Can you imagine, Moms, when your child is fussy because of a toothache? We adults are always cranky and incoherent when we have a toothache.
It turns out that I made a lot of mistakes when caring for my child’s milk teeth, this was because I underestimated small things which turned out to be fatal for my little one’s oral health.
Hopefully moms won’t do the following things which could cause holes in your child’s milk teeth, as a remainder and lesson, moms.
5 Mistakes When Caring for Children’s Milk Teeth
1. Not checking or checking your teeth regularly at the dentist.
We often take this one for granted, we can easily give various reasons to avoid going to the dentist, from fear, high costs or the distance of the dentist’s practice.
However, the consequences are very fatal if you always postpone routine dental check-ups. Isn’t it better to prevent than to cure moms? If we have a dental check-up every 6 months, we can always check whether there are cavities or annoying plaque, and it can even prevent us from having bad breath.
By having regular dental check-ups, children will get used to it and will no longer be afraid of going to the dentist. Did you know, moms, we can have routine dental check-ups for free at Pepsodent Dental Care?
2. Do not replace the toothbrush you use after 6 months.
It’s so neat, often the toothbrush still looks like new even though it’s been used for more than six months, or not, Moms. While it’s still good, why not just use it, but apparently this is not good for the family’s oral and dental health.
Don’t be too stingy, moms, especially for the sake of your family’s health. Did you know that your toothbrush’s function will decrease after six months of use?
It’s better to always prepare a new toothbrush every six months, moms, so you’ll be healthier and avoid various oral and dental diseases.
3. Brushing your teeth at the wrong time.
Do you know yet, Moms, the right time to get maximum results from brushing your teeth? Twice a day is enough, Moms, every morning after breakfast and when you go to bed.
You don’t need to brush your teeth immediately after eating, this will actually damage your tooth enamel, Moms. Too much of anything is not good, isn’t it 🙂 .
4. Wrong way to brush your teeth
During this time, moms, try to remember how to brush your teeth and are you really doing it the right way?

Some of us brush our teeth by rubbing our teeth back and forth, then gargling. However, there are ways to keep your teeth clean and dirt doesn’t stick to them, causing holes in your child’s milk teeth.
5. The wrong way to gargle
Come on, what do you feel like when you finish brushing your teeth? I’m telling you, moms, teach your child to rinse their mouth with clenched teeth. This aims to ensure pressure is placed between the teeth and dirt sticks to it, moms.
Come on, moms, brush your teeth regularly with Pepsodent every morning and night, so that your teeth and gums become stronger, healthier and don’t have holes, especially your child’s milk teeth.
