Avoid describing any bad experience you may have had as a child - rememrber dentistry has changed a lot recently. At the sanie time, dont make any promises, neither should you attempt ta bribe the child. As soon as teeth appear, begin daily dleaning, starting with a small, momst clath after each feed ta remove any food clebris or plaque. Later on, brush the teeth yourself until the child is aider. Even then, it's a good idea ta supervise or even dispense the toothpaste. Make sure the child does not swallow any fluonide toothpaste. To be continued in next column. --'l
