PARENT EDUCATION

Parenting is the biggest responsibility anyone on earth can have. A parent has to take care of all the needs, desires of your child, and a crucial role to play in developing healthy habits in their child. Establishing proper oral hygiene habits is very important in the first year of their life. Recommended by experts worldwide, the practices of preventive dentistry should be initiated from the period of pregnancy until 6 years of age.

The pregnant mother needs to have information about the nutrition requirements.
Oral hygiene maintenance is important during pregnancy also.
The mother should take a proper diet during the third trimester as the formation of milk teeth takes place.
