Oral Hygiene Instructions for Infants to School-going Children
Oral Hygiene is the practice of keeping the oral cavity, which includes the teeth, gums,and tongue clean. Parents should start maintaining oral hygiene of their child within a week after birth. The best time to counsel parents regarding oral hygiene is when the mother is expecting because parents to be more receptive at the time. As a dentist, I am here with some oral hygiene instructions for all age groups of kids.
1. Infants (0-1 year old )
Clean and massage the gums with a moistened gauze piece or wet cloth after every feed.
This helps in enhancing blood circulation in the gums and promotes growth of healthy bacteria.
In some kids, the first tooth comes at six months of age, whereas for others, it may come at around one year. So, on the basis of number of teeth erupted, use of a soft toothbrush is advised.
2. Toddlers (1-3 years old )
This is the best age to introduce your child to a tooth brush, if you have not done it earlier.
Brushing should be done by the parents, as the motor skills of children in this age group are not as developed.
Brush your child's teeth only with an infant sized toothbrush with soft bristles.
Only a non-fluoride toothpaste is advisable for kids under three years of age.
3. Preschoolers (3-6 years old)
A fluoride toothpaste can be introduced to kids, once they turn three years old.
The brushing technique of the child should be properly supervised by parents, or parents must assist their children in brushing teeth.
4. School-going kids (6-12 years old )
At this age, children now possess the dexterity to brush their teeth by themselves, but initially still require monitoring and reinforcement.
A fluoride rinse and floss can also be introduced to kids in this age group
The ideal time to replace your child's tooth brush is every three months or when you see the bristles appearing worn out, whichever comes sooner. Oral hygiene practices at home from an early age is very important to prevent condition like cavities and gingivitis in kids.

What Do Age Recommendation Labels on Toys Mean
Age recommendations are guidelines offered to parents or gift-givers to help them choose a toy that is suitable for a baby of a certain age. The guidelines are based on the following factors:
Safety first. Some of the toys that are safer for older children are not suitable for toddlers, for instance, toys that have small parts that can be easily swallowed. Children younger than 3 years old tend to put things in their mouth often, therefore all toys are designed to prevent this.
A thorough knowledge of the various stages of development of children goes into designing toys. Toys for babies mostly involve grabbing, shaking and squeezing to build motor skills. A 6-month-old would just bang a bunch of building blocks together while a 2-year-old might want to stack them, older ones might want to build things and so on.
Observations of how children use the toys are done by the developers by testing them with real children to see how they appeal o different age groups. They also observe for how they play with the toys and pick out design flaws in them.
Inputs from parents and children go into making toys for different age groups. They need to be designed with the entire household in mind and other parameters that affect the rest in the house.
The history of similar is taken into account when building a new one or upgrading an existing toy.
Safety Tips for Babies
Toys for infants 3 months of age while being fun should also be safe. Since they can also be hazardous here are a few tips:
Choose toys that are well designed, whether you’re buying new ones or using a toy passed down from older siblings; ensure they haven’t worn out in ways that can be dangerous. Pay attention to stitches and seams on stuff toys and that they are not damaged. Parts on other toys should be securely attached and has no sharp edges.
Avoid picking toys that have a chord or a string that’s longer than 12 inches. Long chords can wrap around the neck and strangle babies in sleep or during play.
Watch out for cheap plastics that can be toxic. Certain manufacturers could add chemicals such as plasticizers to make toys more flexible, these chemicals can be harmful.
Balloons and other rubbery sheets that can break into tiny bits are a choking hazard and should be avoided.
How to Choose Best Toys for Your 3 Month Old Baby
At three months your baby can grasp things and reach for what interests them. Here are some tips on how to choose good toys for them.
Lightweight rattlers are ideal toys for kids of this age. They are colourful and make plenty of noise. Look for rattlers made out of good quality materials and without small parts that can be swallowed.

Why She Had an Affair With Your Husband
Some women want to add another dimension to their lives, others seek erotic pleasure, while those going through troubled times desire emotional security. How do you explain the reasons other women slept with your husband? These guesses throw light on why some women snatch other women's fairy tale.
Was it plain thrill, selfish motivations, or simply the desire to prove that they were accessible? Think what you may, but there isn't any easy way to say why that women chose to sleep with your husband. An understanding of what these women were thinking may help you calm those frazzled nerves.
She Slept With Your Man- Here's Why!
1. Yes, you live with a cheater
Yes, she probably showcased her accessibility and seduced your husband into a nooky, but your partner was equally responsible too. Refrain from acting childishly or questioning the other woman's lack of worth; it’s not the way you would like others to assess you as a mature person. With more and more women seeking "fun", both online and offline, there is a lot more than what meets the eye, especially when you're seeking answers to why women sleep with married men.
2. Attention or passion seeker?
The vacuum experienced by a woman in her current relationship makes her wander beyond her limits to enjoy praise and passionate emotions with a married man. Be it in the form of a sexy demi-goddess on an online dating site, a secretary with a plunging neckline to make her boss ogle, or simply an opportunity monger who acts without much forethought. Some women feel alive, desired and more passionate by such acts. Your man may have succumbed to that opportunity.
3. How lonely am I?
Sexting late nights, emailing under an anonymous identity, and indulging in cyber sex on adult sites - they are all precursors that make them long for those willing to listen and get intimate with. Even though the guilt factor lingers in their minds, especially when they are sleeping with married men, their heightened libido gets the better of them.
4. Was she a savior?
Is it possible that your man wanted an out from the relationship he shared with you? If that was the case, he intentionally created a situation that made him believe that the other woman was a protector, rather than a home wrecker. Your man craves to be appreciated too and if the other woman makes him feel capable or sexy, then you stand a solid chance of losing your husband to the one he's enjoying sleeping with now.
5. No baggage allowed
Full-time sexual relationships with unmarried or divorced men often lead to expectations that go beyond emotional and physical pleasures. So, the burden of managing household chores, delivering your husband’s baby or cribbing with reducing savings accounts isn't her cup of tea. Do understand, if she was thinking of long-term commitment, she wouldn't have looked back at the "married" guy who showed interest in her.
These facts may well explain the reasons other women slept with your husband. Rather than just quickly blaming the women, it’s time for you to understand why your hubby strayed and invited an intruder to rob what you both shared. You may want to think hard on that one! Read more
