Young children are always getting into some kind of trouble. Since you cannot be all over the place looking after them, you remain panicky. You never know what bone they will break next or what bruise they will sustain from one of their several daring activities. If you have boys, Pediatric Healthcare of Northwest Houston, one of the best quality medical care providers, salutes you.

Most of the time, mothers of little boys come to see us, complaining about how their little daredevil thought climbing a tree would be a wonderful idea. Sometimes, the little girls come in with their mothers that surprise us the most.

What we like hearing most from the children are their stories of how they found themselves in an unwelcoming situation when they attempted the impossible, and failed or succeeded. However, it is not just the injuries parents and caregivers need to watch out for, but they need to keep a look out for allergies and infection as well.

How to Help Your Child Combat Allergies and Infections

You will hardly find your child playing safely indoors, unless they are heavily into their technology such as iPad and whatnot. Again, your child can still be an indoors person and still be susceptible to the many allergies and infections that await them. Each year, the infections and allergies prepare to attack their immune system. If you have a teenager or an infant in your care, they probability of them coming down with one the unpleasant viruses is high.

At that age, their immune system is not fully developed to fight off infections and allergies successfully. You can help your child fight off the infections and diseases by bringing them over to us. We offer the best quality medical care in giving immunizations and flu shots. Once your child’s immune systems strengthens, your visits us are not entirely over, as over the course of their lifetime, they may sustain injuries. When they do, we will be there.

How to Deal with Injuries

Injuries such as fractures need to be dealt with in an orderly manner. Young children and even teenagers will love doing reckless things such as trying to climb hard to reach places. At that age, they like a good challenge while giving their parents a mini heart attack each time they are caught in the act. If your child has fallen down, you need to take your child to a doctor immediately. Even for one second you thought your child would not attempt the feat again, you could not be more wrong, as “living dangerously” comes with the territory of raising a child.

Congratulations on the birth of your child. Is it a girl or a boy? You can let us know by visiting our children’s pediatrics in Cypress. You will need to pay us a visit, especially when your child’s baby teeth begin to form and the little one likes to drink milk from the bottle. Once they are on the bottle, their tooth will be at risk. As professional pediatricians at children’s pediatrics in Cypress, we would like you to know better infant care for your wee one.

Why Caring for Your Baby’s Teeth is Vital?

When your child’s first teeth begin to show, you whip out your camera to take a picture. In all of your excitement, you might forget about proper dental care for your infant. Your forgetfulness will lead your child’s tooth to decay and prevent their adult teeth from taking their proper position, coming out incorrectly. Therefore, you need to practice good infant care at an early age, as practicing now will help them learn to care for their teeth in the future. Oh, and you will not have to worry about tooth decay resulting from the bottle.

The Causes of Tooth Decay from Bottle

If your child is on the bottle, tooth decay will occur in teeth in the front, and gradually, make its way to the surrounding teeth. How does drinking milk or other fluids from bottle cause tooth decay? Read the following causes to find out:

       ·         Your child mostly drinks sugary fluids such as juice from a bottle.

       ·         Your child sleeps with a bottle in his/her mouth.

       ·         Your child cries and to stop him/her from creating fuzz, you stick a bottle in their mouth to quiet          them.

       ·         Your child caught the bacteria from you when you put the bottle in your mouth to see if it is not          too hot to give to them.

       ·         Your child does not receive the proper amounts of fluoride, leading to tooth decay.   

Do not worry mothers, fathers, or caregivers because when there is a problem, there is always a solution.

The Solutions to Prevent Your Infant’s Teeth from Decaying

Children’s pediatrics in Cypress wants you to apply the following solutions:

  v  Instead of checking the temperature of the milk by putting the bottle in your mouth, check it by           putting the liquid on your hand. 

  v  After you feed your child, use a clean and damp washcloth to clean their gums. 

  v  Use toothbrush for infants to clean their teeth with toothpaste containing fluoride.

  v  If your child has reached the age where he/she can brush his/her teeth themselves, you need to             supervise them to prevent them from accidently swallowing the toothpaste.

  v  Do put sugary drinks in your child’s bottle such as juice and soft drinks.

  v  Believe it or not, but some parents actually dip their child’s pacifier in honey or some other                 sweetener and give it to them to suck. Do not do that if your child has just gotten their first tooth. 

The best thing you could do to prevent tooth decay is to schedule an appointment with PediatricHealthcare of Northwest Houston and let us care for your infant with you.
