Caring for your children’s teeth seems simple; give them a healthy diet, make sure their teeth are cleaned twice a day and take them to a dentist on a regular basis. But these basic steps are fraught with frustration and battles. Student Parents spoke to Deborah King, a dental hygienist with over 25 years experience looking after people’s teeth. She has written a guest post for student parents, on how to keep your baby or young child’s teeth clean and healthy.
‘Hi, I am Deborah King. I trained as a dental therapist, and at that time specialised in children’s dentistry.’Posted by studentparents on March 17, 2012

Women feel like they have to do it all. But when you’re rushed off your feet juggling studies and family life, is it any wonder that you feel over-worked and exhausted. The right diet can be vital in giving you enough energy to run around after the little one, and enough brainpower for that pile of reading in the corner. Whilst you’ll no doubt be worrying over how best to feed your child, making sure they get a balanced nutritious diet; remember its important that you look after yourself too. Eating well is important; to give you that boost you need to look after your baby, and get those good grades.
