So that your child doesn't have to suffer from tooth decay, remind him or her of these little tips:
🦷 Honey, brush your teeth 3 times a day!
🍬Come on, you can have a candy today, but no more sweets until next week!
🦸🏽♀️Today we're going to dress you up as a superhero... and get your mouth checked out while we're at it. Every six months we have to go and check that everything is going well.
In summary, for childhood caries, the most important thing is:
