Brushing teeth: babies and young children
Regular brushing begins as soon as the first tooth appears. Teeth are brushed with water and a toothbrush twice a day with parents' help and supervision. For children older than 18 months, a low-fluoride toothpaste is also used.
Care for caregivers
While parenting and child care can in itself be stressful, such stresses can be aggravated by professional and other household responsibilities. It is important for caregivers and families to ensure they are able to balance their other responsibilities with childcare to ensure their children receive adequate protection and care. All forms of violence at home must be prevented as these create an environment that psychological affects the development and well-being of a child.
