According to dentists, children's oral care should be viewed as a continuous journey. When parents correctly understand the characteristics of their child's oral cavity at each stage, caring for their child's teeth becomes more scientific and effective. The journey of children's oral care can be divided into clear segments, linked to each developmental milestone.

Oral care for children in their early years requires parental involvement. *Nam Duoc*

Stage 0-6 months

In the first months of life, a child's oral cavity already needs care. When a child nurses, milk residue easily adheres to the tongue and oral mucosa. If the tongue and mucosa are not cleaned regularly, bacteria will have an environment to develop, increasing the risk of oral thrush and tongue fungus, causing the child pain, discomfort, and affecting feeding.

At this stage, the most important factor in caring for a child's oral cavity is sufficient and gentle cleaning. A newborn's oral cavity is sensitive; rough manipulations or unsuitable tools can cause mucosal damage.

Therefore, soft gauze cleaning solutions are often chosen by parents. Products like Ich Nhi 0+ herbal tongue cleaner gauze, with soft material infused with herbal extracts such as chive leaves, propolis, and purified salt, help remove milk residue gently without causing pain. This also helps children become familiar with oral care early, laying a good foundation for subsequent stages.

Stage 6 months - two years old

Entering the complementary feeding and teething stage, a child's oral cavity begins to face more challenges. Complementary foods easily stick to the gums and newly erupted teeth, while the child cannot brush their teeth independently. At the same time, the sensation of swollen, itchy, and painful gums during teething causes children to cry, feel tired, and even refuse to eat.

At this point, oral care is not just about cleaning food residue but also needs to help reduce discomfort, protect gums, and limit the risk of early decay. That is why many parents switch to Ich Nhi 6M+ herbal oral gauze designed for children from 6 months old. In addition to familiar infused ingredients like chive leaf extract and propolis, the gauze is supplemented with Lactoferrin, green tea extract, and Xylitol. The product supports the removal of milk residue and prevents the formation of plaque causing early tooth decay.

Stage two - under 6 years old

From about two years old, baby teeth gradually complete their development. Children should become familiar with brushing their teeth. However, at this stage, most children do not know how to spit out toothpaste and often swallow it. The concern about chemicals and fluoride causing stomach irritation and fluorosis makes many parents "headache" when choosing toothpaste for their children.

Ich Nhi herbal toothpaste for children under 6 is a suggestion for mothers. The product, with herbal ingredients combined with propolis, chamomile, rosemary, salt, and hydrated silica, will help clean teeth, limit plaque, and care for and protect baby tooth enamel. In particular, the mild strawberry and melon flavors are suitable for young children, helping them cooperate enthusiastically and gradually form a habit of brushing their teeth regularly every day.

Mothers can use the premium Ich Nhi toothbrush with soft bristles coated with silver ions and a compact brush head that fits a child's mouth, accompanying their child in the first steps of brushing.

Stage over 6 years old

After 6 years old, children enter the stage of shedding baby teeth and forming permanent teeth. These teeth will stay with the child throughout their life. Therefore, oral care at this time is not just about "keeping clean" but also needs to focus on protecting and strengthening enamel.

At this stage, the need for enamel remineralization becomes clearer. Oral care products supplemented with an appropriate amount of fluoride help enhance the ability to prevent cavities, especially when permanent teeth are newly formed.

Therefore, mothers can switch to Ich Nhi herbal toothpaste for children over 6, which has been researched with a more intensive formula, including an appropriate amount of fluoride. Fluoride helps remineralize enamel, strengthen it, and prevent cavities during the newly formed permanent tooth stage. Additionally, the product still retains herbal ingredients with propolis, rosemary, and chamomile to protect enamel comprehensively.
