Adults’ bad breath also known as halitosis is found to be in toddlers as well. The reason of having it in babies is due to their adult caretakers. Often it is ignored which is a grave mistake.
One of the major causes of a child’s bad breath could be the poor hygiene which really needs to be improved. You should make a practice of brushing your teeth and keeping them clean so that they would follow your example.
To avoid this halitosis problem, you should brush your teeth, regularly floss them between all the teeth and make sure you do the scraping too for all the leftover things are to remove. This requires just the habit and once you develop it, you won’t find any problem.
There is a very interesting way to include your child in keeping him orally clean. Do not force him, and involve him with your own practices. Take him to the market with you and let him select his toothbrush and toothpaste. Usually the toothpaste made for children contains fluoride but make sure it has it just in case and also that the toothbrush is soft.
Some people think kids always complain of some problem or other for no reason so they might even ignore this halitosis issue. This shouldn’t be neglected at all if your toddler is having bad breath, sneezing, sore throat etc. It could mean there is some sort of infection which could later turn out to be a bad dental problem.
The baby bottle syndrome is a common disease found in toddlers. It usually happens because parents give their children a bottle of juice or sweetened milk to go to sleep and while they are sleep the liquid causes this tooth decay.
And parents don’t notice their child’s teeth and when they do, the teeth are covered with cavity and there could be some other infection too.
So make yours and your child’s habit of brushing teeth regularly and also make sure to check up your teeth at a good dentist.
