Health - How to take care of baby’s first set of teeth

In today's show, we spoke to Dr Imraan Hoosen - A leading paediatric dentist at the Pampers Institute about caring for baby’s first set of teeth. It appears that healthy teeth are enormously important to a baby’s overall health. Baby teeth act as placeholders for adult teeth and therefore without a healthy set of milk teeth, young children will experience trouble chewing and forming words and sounds, when learning to speak. It also affects the way a child’s jaw grows. Dr Hoosen advises parents to commence caring for baby’s gums right away by using a soft, moistened washcloth or piece of gauze to gently wipe baby’s gums at least twice a day especially after feedings and before bedtime.
