How to clean baby's tongue?

As parents, we all want to give our babies the best care, and keeping the baby's oral clean and healthy is a very important part of daily care. According to a survey, in the process of caring for the baby, many parents will pay more attention to how to clean the baby's tongue coating, which is a good oral hygiene awareness, because tongue coating cleaning can not only remove milk stains and food residues in time, remove bad breath, but also prevent oral problems.

Tongue Cleaning ≠ Oral Cleaning

In addition to tongue cleaning, parents also need to pay attention to the cleaning of the entire mouth. There are many parts in the mouth, so there are many places for oral food residues and bacteria to live. Cleaning the tongue coating can only remove food residues and bacteria in the tongue coating area, but cannot clean the entire mouth. But in fact, comprehensive cleaning of the entire mouth (including tongue coating, gums, sublingual, upper and lower jaws and inner cheeks) is the most effective preventive measure for oral diseases. Only by truly removing food residues and bacteria in the entire mouth can we truly prevent oral diseases. Therefore, we advocate a comprehensive oral care concept to help babies develop good oral hygiene habits from an early age and prevent future oral problems.

Why should we clean the baby's oral and tongue?

In fact, the tongue coating is the manifestation of poor oral hygiene on the surface of the tongue. In fact, oral problems can occur in the entire oral, but they are particularly obvious on the surface of the tongue. Therefore, to truly care for the baby, we should not only focus on the cleaning of the tongue coating, but also pay attention to the cleaning of the mouth outside the tongue coating. The following are the benefits of cleaning the baby's tongue coating and mouth:

Prevent oral diseases and reduce bacterial growth. The baby's oral environment is weak, and the warm and humid environment in the oral provides favorable conditions for bacteria to reproduce. The baby's tongue coating refers to a layer of white or yellow covering on the surface of the tongue. This substance is composed of milk stains, food residues, bacteria and oral secretions. If it is not cleaned in time, it will become a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of the baby suffering from caries, bad breath, thrush and other diseases.

Keep the oral fresh and promote the baby's appetite. If the baby's oral is unhygienic, it will produce sour oral odor, etc. At the same time, too thick tongue coating will also affect the baby's taste sensitivity. When too much material accumulates on the tongue coating, it will reduce the baby's ability to perceive the taste of food, which may lead to a decrease in appetite. Cleaning the oral helps babies taste food better and fully experience the taste and texture of food. It also stimulates the secretion of saliva and digestive juices, promotes the digestion and absorption of food, and is beneficial to the development of the baby's digestive system.

Ensure respiratory health. The oral is connected to the respiratory tract, and bacteria and odor in the oral may affect the baby's breathing quality. Especially when the baby is sleeping, a bad oral environment may cause problems such as difficulty breathing and snoring. Cleaning the oral and tongue coating can help reduce odor and bacteria in the oral, providing protection for the baby's respiratory health.
