Old Toothbrushes: The Ultimate Cleaners

By Hedrick Lepsch


While babies aren't eating tons of sugar and don't even have teeth till they are around 3 months old, they still need help keeping up on their dental hygiene. Babies can start getting dental problems relatively early on. Some of their problems can be caused by breast milk as well as formula but they can definitely start getting problems once they start diversifying their diet. Here are some things you can do to take care of your baby.

It is important to always keep your baby's mouth clean. There are times that you will find that there can be a milky residue that builds up over time. If that is just left, it could turn into thrush which is a major infection of the mouth caused by the candida fungus.

It is always a good idea to consult with your surgeon or dentist before you go in for oral surgery so you can understand what medications you will be taking after, and what you should expect from the procedure. Once you have had this meeting, it is a good idea to talk to a friend or relative so they can pick up your prescriptions. That way they will be ready for you once the procedure is finished. Especially because you may be feeling a little groggy and sore, so you won't want to pick them up yourself.

Choose a friend or family member to come with you to your surgery appointment and to drive you home. It is a good idea to ask your companion to stay in the office until your surgery is finished, in case it ends early or they need to be given information. Some anesthetics can make you incapable of driving, so this step is incredibly important. If you have children, it is a good idea to have someone take care of them for you as you recover.

Old toothbrushes are a great way to apply hair dye if you like to dye your hair at home. Another excellent tip for touching up grey or white roots is to put mascara on a toothbrush and gently rub it in to your roots. It blends in very well and keeps your hair looking great from top to bottom.Toothbrushes are a great tool to clean out the tiny crevices and crummy cracks of your toaster, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee pot. Let those little bristles sweep through the cracks that nothing else can get into. It will work wonders.

Your first dentist appointment should be in the first year. There is no better time to see the dentist in Sandy, UT than when those first teeth start to come in. Dentists can give you a good idea on what to do to take care of your child's mouth.

Whether you are just cleaning your child's gums with a little cloth and water, or just helping them understand that going to bed with juice is no beuno, you will be well on your way to instilling good habits that will last far into the future. Even though those teeth aren't permanent, they do have a large impact on your child's health, so make sure you are taking care of them.
