Cuidar los dientes de leche ayuda a prevenir las caries, favorece la alimentaci\u00f3n y el desarrollo del habla, y establece h\u00e1bitos que pueden durar toda la vida. Esta gu\u00eda explica c\u00f3mo cepillar de forma segura los dientes de beb\u00e9s y ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os desde la infancia hasta los cuatro a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo debe comenzar a cepillar los dientes de su beb\u00e9?<\/h2>\n<p>Comience a cepillar los dientes tan pronto aparezca el primer diente de su beb\u00e9. Antes de que salgan los dientes, puede limpiar suavemente las enc\u00edas con un pa\u00f1o limpio y h\u00famedo o una gasa suave despu\u00e9s de las tomas.<\/p>\n<p>Use un cepillo de dientes peque\u00f1o dise\u00f1ado para beb\u00e9s, con un cabezal compacto y cerdas suaves. Cepille los dientes dos veces al d\u00eda: una por la ma\u00f1ana y otra antes de acostarse. El cepillado nocturno es especialmente importante porque la placa y los az\u00facares no deben permanecer en los dientes mientras su hijo duerme.<\/p>\n<p>Los ni\u00f1os deben contar con un dentista pedi\u00e1trico de referencia antes de cumplir un a\u00f1o o dentro de los seis meses posteriores a la erupci\u00f3n del primer diente. Una visita temprana permite al odontopediatra evaluar el desarrollo dental, los h\u00e1bitos de alimentaci\u00f3n, la exposici\u00f3n al fl\u00faor y el riesgo de caries. Los padres tambi\u00e9n pueden consultar nuestra gu\u00eda sobre <a href=\"https:\/\/pediatricdentalcenters.com\/es\/child-first-dental-visit-miami\/\">la primera visita dental de su hijo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfDeben los beb\u00e9s y los ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os usar pasta dental con fl\u00faor?<\/h2>\n<p>S\u00ed. El fl\u00faor fortalece el esmalte y ayuda a prevenir las caries. La Academia Estadounidense de Odontolog\u00eda Pedi\u00e1trica recomienda cepillar los dientes de los ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os dos veces al d\u00eda con una cantidad de pasta dental con fl\u00faor adecuada para su edad.<\/p>\n<p>Lo importante es la cantidad, no una tira de pasta dental del largo del cepillo de dientes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Desde la erupci\u00f3n del primer diente hasta los tres a\u00f1os: use una peque\u00f1a cantidad, no mayor que un grano de arroz.<\/li>\n<li>De los tres a los seis a\u00f1os: use una cantidad del tama\u00f1o de un guisante.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Los padres deben dispensar la pasta dental y supervisar el cepillado. Anime a su hijo a escupir cuando su desarrollo se lo permita, pero no le enjuague la boca con grandes cantidades de agua despu\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p>Para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre la prevenci\u00f3n profesional de caries, lea sobre <a href=\"https:\/\/pediatricdentalcenters.com\/es\/fluoride-treatment-for-kids\/\">los beneficios del barniz de fl\u00faor para ni\u00f1os<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>C\u00f3mo cepillar los dientes de su beb\u00e9 o ni\u00f1o peque\u00f1o<\/h2>\n<p>Elija una posici\u00f3n que le permita ver con claridad y sostener la cabeza de su hijo. Un beb\u00e9 puede recostarse sobre el regazo del cuidador. Para un ni\u00f1o peque\u00f1o, p\u00f3ngase detr\u00e1s de \u00e9l e incline suavemente su cabeza hacia atr\u00e1s contra su cuerpo.<\/p>\n<h4>Siga estos pasos:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Coloque la cantidad correcta de pasta dental con fl\u00faor en un cepillo de dientes suave y del tama\u00f1o adecuado para ni\u00f1os.<\/li>\n<li>Levante los labios para que pueda ver la l\u00ednea de las enc\u00edas, incluidos los dientes frontales superiores.<\/li>\n<li>Use movimientos circulares peque\u00f1os y suaves para cepillar las superficies externas, internas y de masticaci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>Preste especial atenci\u00f3n a la l\u00ednea de las enc\u00edas y a los molares posteriores, donde la placa suele acumularse.<\/li>\n<li>Cepille durante aproximadamente dos minutos, dos veces al d\u00eda.<\/li>\n<li>Ayude a su hijo a escupir cuando pueda hacerlo y mantenga la pasta dental fuera de su alcance despu\u00e9s.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>El sangrado persistente, la inflamaci\u00f3n, el dolor o las lesiones inusuales deben ser evaluados por un odontopediatra.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo debe comenzar a usar hilo dental en los dientes de un ni\u00f1o?<\/h2>\n<p>Comience a usar hilo dental una vez al d\u00eda cuando dos dientes est\u00e9n en contacto y el cepillo de dientes no pueda limpiar entre ellos. Los ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os no tienen la coordinaci\u00f3n para cepillarse los dientes ni usar hilo dental correctamente, por lo que un adulto debe terminar la limpieza despu\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfQu\u00e9 hacer si su ni\u00f1o peque\u00f1o se niega a cepillarse los dientes?<\/h2>\n<p>La resistencia es com\u00fan. Mantenga la rutina tranquila, predecible y breve. Algunas estrategias \u00fatiles incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Permitir que su hijo elija un cepillo de dientes adecuado para su edad.<\/li>\n<li>Cepillarse juntos para que su hijo pueda imitarlo.<\/li>\n<li>Usar una canci\u00f3n de dos minutos o un temporizador visual.<\/li>\n<li>Ofrecer dos opciones, como \u201c\u00bfcepillo de dientes azul o verde?\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Permitir que el ni\u00f1o se cepille primero y luego que el padre o cuidador tome su turno.<\/li>\n<li>Elogiar su cooperaci\u00f3n inmediatamente despu\u00e9s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Evite amenazar a su hijo con el dentista. Las visitas al odontopediatra deben describirse de manera positiva para que el consultorio dental siga siendo un lugar seguro y acogedor.<\/p>\n<h2>H\u00e1bitos diarios que ayudan a prevenir las caries en los ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os<\/h2>\n<p>El cepillado es esencial, pero los patrones de alimentaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n afectan el riesgo de caries. Evite acostar a un beb\u00e9 o ni\u00f1o peque\u00f1o con un biber\u00f3n o vaso con boquilla que contenga leche, f\u00f3rmula, jugo u otra bebida endulzada. La exposici\u00f3n frecuente permite que las bacterias que causan caries produzcan \u00e1cido repetidamente durante el d\u00eda y la noche. Despu\u00e9s del cepillado, el agua es la bebida m\u00e1s segura antes de dormir.<\/p>\n<p>Limite el h\u00e1bito de comer entre comidas con frecuencia y los refrigerios azucarados o pegajosos. Ofrezca agua entre las comidas y refrigerios programados, y elija alimentos nutritivos. Obtenga m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n en nuestra <a href=\"https:\/\/pediatricdentalcenters.com\/es\/childrens-nutrition-dental-health\/\">gu\u00eda para padres sobre la nutrici\u00f3n de los ni\u00f1os y la salud dental<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Revise los dientes con regularidad. Las \u00e1reas blancas y opacas cerca de la l\u00ednea de las enc\u00edas pueden indicar da\u00f1o temprano del esmalte. Las manchas marrones, los agujeros, la sensibilidad o el dolor requieren una evaluaci\u00f3n profesional. Las caries de la primera infancia pueden avanzar r\u00e1pidamente. Nuestra gu\u00eda sobre <a href=\"https:\/\/pediatricdentalcenters.com\/es\/baby-bottle-tooth-decay-miami\/\">caries por biber\u00f3n<\/a> explica otras se\u00f1ales de advertencia.<\/p>\n<h2>C\u00f3mo crear sonrisas saludables desde el primer diente<\/h2>\n<p>La mejor rutina de salud bucal para los ni\u00f1os de uno a cuatro a\u00f1os es sencilla: cepille los dientes dos veces al d\u00eda con la cantidad correcta de pasta dental con fl\u00faor, use hilo dental donde los dientes est\u00e9n en contacto, limite la exposici\u00f3n frecuente al az\u00facar y mantenga citas regulares con el dentista pedi\u00e1trico.<\/p>\n<p>En Pediatric Dental Centers, nuestro equipo ayuda a las familias a que el cuidado en casa sea pr\u00e1ctico y adecuado para la edad y el riesgo de caries de cada ni\u00f1o.

El cepillado nocturno debe realizarse despu\u00e9s de la \u00faltima comida o bebida del ni\u00f1o, excepto agua.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfCu\u00e1nta pasta dental debe usar un ni\u00f1o de dos a\u00f1os?<\/h3>\n<p>Use una peque\u00f1a cantidad de pasta dental con fl\u00faor, no mayor que un grano de arroz. A los tres a\u00f1os, aumente la cantidad al tama\u00f1o de un guisante.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfEs seguro si mi ni\u00f1o peque\u00f1o se traga un poco de pasta dental?<\/h3>\n<p>Los ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os suelen tragar peque\u00f1as cantidades porque a\u00fan no han aprendido a escupir. Usar solo la peque\u00f1a cantidad recomendada, del tama\u00f1o de un grano de arroz, limita la ingesti\u00f3n. Guarde la pasta dental donde los ni\u00f1os no puedan aplic\u00e1rsela por s\u00ed solos.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfA qu\u00e9 edad pueden los ni\u00f1os cepillarse los dientes por s\u00ed solos?<\/h3>\n<p>Los ni\u00f1os pueden participar desde temprana edad, pero los padres deben realizar o supervisar el cepillado hasta que el ni\u00f1o pueda limpiar todas las superficies de manera confiable.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your baby\u2019s first tooth is an exciting milestone\u2014and the beginning of an important daily routine.
