Xiao Q's mother grew up with rotten teeth, so I know the pain of tooth decay! ! When I grew up, I also spent a lot of money and energy tidying my teeth a little bit, so since I gave birth to Sister Q, I will never give in to brushing my teeth again! No matter how bitter you cry, no matter how tired your mother is, just brush your teeth ~
When I was young, I really didn't have the idea of brushing my teeth at all! ! And what's more, I love snacks and soft drinks ~ so I remember that after I graduated from kindergarten, my teeth were almost decayed. The disadvantage of tooth decay is that I have to endure the fear of toothache and take care of my teeth from time to time. My childhood with missing teeth also makes me more afraid of talking and communicating with people.
Maybe this is the relationship. I have been trying to take care of Xiao Q's teeth. Since her baby has no teeth, she brushes her tongue every time she drinks milk. This not only cleans the milk dirt, but also makes her used to being cleaned by me! Otherwise, when she really has teeth, her resistance should be even greater ~
As for the fluoride part, I'm looking forward to it as soon as she has four teeth! (Review the old article: 1Y4M? See the complete record of the first release of dental fluoride)
In order to reduce her anxiety about dentists, I also specially found a children's clinic. I want to say that a doctor who specializes in treating children should know better how to deal with the little devil XD. The professional doctor was really great, and she unconsciously completed the first fluoride application. The process was very peaceful, and she was even too happy to leave the dentist's office.
At that visit, the doctor suggested that breast-feeding must be given up first (I am pro-feeding) and reminded a big point. The only way to prevent tooth decay is to rely on the care of our parents on weekdays instead of going to see a doctor every six months. This sentence woke me up and gave me a stronger sense of mission in caring for children's teeth!
So when we got home, my mother and I immediately began to study the first priority of breastfeeding sleep. After climbing the article, I found that breastfeeding sleep is basically to cooperate with my mother's cruelty to succeed. If I give up for a while, it will make the next breastfeeding sleep more difficult. All right! I made up my mind, and the result was better than expected. I quit in four days! (Looking back at the old article: 1Y8M successfully stopped breastfeeding and slept for four days)
The biggest tooth decay trouble was finally kicked away. Next, I will work harder to clean my teeth. I am preparing a toothbrush that I feel comfortable with, a children's dental floss stick that is smooth enough, and a cup of boiled water that is eight times full. As for the toothbrush, I can buy a small toothbrush for baby teeth first. If the budget is numb enough, I recommend using Qiao Hu electric toothbrush after half a year. (Source)
I recommend this one, not because of the clever tiger, but because of the brush head and LED light! The replacement head of this toothbrush can be sold for more than two and a half years or two years. I have been using a small brush head for more than six months, which is very easy to use against the gum area around my mouth.
Moreover, his lamp is an LED lamp, so I can see her teeth clearly while brushing her teeth, so I am used to turning on the lamp to check my mouth carefully after the whole tooth cleaning project is completed, and sometimes it really makes me catch the fish that escaped the net and find out the food hidden in my teeth ~
As for dental floss, I used Aka's colored dental floss stick almost two and a half years ago (image source).
Their dental floss stick is super good for mom, and the thread is thin and slippery. It is really suitable for cleaning children's deciduous teeth. Recommended for flossing novice babies! !
Later, because Miss Q's teeth became bigger, she switched to American Plackers children's dental floss (image source).
This kind of dental floss is sold in many pharmacies. It is advertised as coated with fluoride and smells like berries. Its shape is very attractive to children, and its fragrance makes children want to use it actively, but the price is not cute, so this kind of dental floss is regarded as a transitional commodity by me. The task is to make her like flossing!
After the completion of the stage task, we replaced the dental floss with 3M child safety dental floss (image source).
This is the same as the last one. Each dental floss has an animal shape, but the 3M dental floss has no taste, the smoothness is almost as good as before, and the price is cheaper! Then little sister Q occasionally said, Why doesn't this dental floss smell like fruit? But my child's dental floss is mainly for you, and I just want to borrow it.
When I first started brushing my teeth, the ignorant little sister Q would lie prone and let me press my hands.
As a result, after brushing several times, she also learned to be smart. As soon as she saw me with a toothbrush, she wanted to run away (where! Fortunately, my house is not big, so I got it back without running far.
Speaking of helping children brush their teeth, the key points are: hold on, brush quickly, indeed!
Hold the child's hand directly with the adult's thigh, so that I can brush my teeth more attentively and quickly. Brush quickly, basically afraid that my hearing will be damaged and my neighbors will report domestic violence. XD is really fast, but I have to make sure that every tooth is brushed clean. Finally, after brushing my teeth, I must give her a hug, comfort and encouragement first!
Moreover, although I cried earth-shattering in the process of brushing her teeth and made me want to buy earplugs several times to avoid causing my occupational injury XDD, in fact, I later found that as soon as I finished brushing my teeth, she would immediately come to her senses, as if she had forgotten what had just happened, and she would happily brush her teeth herself ~ Haha! !
So it also strengthened my will. No matter how she cries, I just want to brush my teeth! I just want to brush my teeth! I just want to brush my teeth!
Because I know that the pain she felt when she was suppressed by me was definitely much less than the pain of being treated by teeth!
So, son, mom, I'm sorry! Only brushing your teeth is not negotiable! ! Because Ma Ma really doesn't want to see you at all, and she cries because of the toothache caused by tooth decay. I don't want to see you crying and begging me to save you from the doctor, XD.
Time is neither slow nor slow. In retrospect, I have been brushing Xiao Q's teeth for more than three years. I shared my feelings along the way with many mothers in the fan group before. Before she was two years old, brushing her teeth every night was a ritual we didn't like before going to bed, but after getting used to it, now she is like a super trust in the photos every night. Trust me to brush her teeth and be the CEO of her royal tooth cleaning?
