Everything You Need To Know About Your Baby’s Teething ProcessWritten by Keziah Engineer

While primary teeth will at one stage be replaced by permanent teeth, they are very important for several reasons – including chewing and speech. Once these teeth are in, you can clean them with a special baby toothbrush. Be sure to never allow your baby to fall asleep with a bottle. This will lead to tooth decay. Whether a baby is bottle fed or nursed, he will be vulnerable to “baby bottle tooth decay”. Such decay occurs when freshly sprouted baby teeth are exposed to liquids containing sugars (basically, anything other than water) for long periods of time. Bacteria in mouth will grow in sugar, which attack tooth enamel and cause cavities. The best treatment for “baby bottle tooth decay” is prevention. Don't let your baby use a bottle as a pacifier or fall asleep with a bottle containing anything but water. Also, be sure to gently clean his teeth and gums after each feeding. You may also see some teething symptoms – on whole these are fairly harmless. For example, drool rash where a red rash can be seen on face, lips, chin and chest. This can be washed with warm water and a cloth and your doctor may prescribe a lanolin ointment as treatment for this. Sometimes other symptoms can include mild diarrhoea and a cough caused by excess saliva dripping down baby’s throat. Here are some good tips to use to care for your baby’s teeth: ·Clean your baby’s mouth before teething process. You can wipe gums after each feeding with a warm, wet washcloth. ·Take good care of teeth once they start to come in. Some parents wrongly believe that because primary teeth are eventually replaced they are not that important – this is false as they preserve space for permanent teeth, not to mention help with chewing and talking. ·Actively watch for cavities – if you spot any discolouration or pitting then they could be signs of cavities. Try and avoid putting your baby to sleep with milk (or even worse sweet juice) as it could lead to cavities. In addition follow up meals with water as this helps to wash off most infant foods quite easily. ·Introduce a toothbrush as soon as possible. In addition you should monitor your baby’s fluoride intake as this can help prevent tooth decay. It’s also important to schedule a dental check up for your baby – shortly after first year is a good time for first visit. Creating good dental practice from start will help ensure that you baby continues good dental hygiene for years into future. --------------------------------------- Discover ground-breaking new baby care book that teaches you absolutely everything you need to know about your newborns crucial first year of life: http://www.global-ebooks.com/babybook.htm

causes in women's health that cause vaginal discharge odor, all of which can be eliminated simply and painlessly. Most (95%+) vaginal odor is caused by an infection called "gardnerella" which causes bacterial vaginosis. While this infection can be passed between partners, it is not a sexually transmitted disease (STD). bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of chief causes of vaginal odor. This odor may become more pronounced after having sex and is often referred to as fishy in nature. This is most common type of vaginal odor. The cause of bacterial vaginosis is not fully understood. BV is associated with an imbalance in bacteria that is normally found in a woman's vagina. The vagina normally contains mostly "good" bacteria and fewer "harmful" bacteria. BV develops when there is a change in environment of vagina that causes an increase in harmful bacteria. Learn more about Enzara for Vaginal Odor.
