To preserve oral and dental health, it is essential for children to acquire accurate knowledge and healthy habits from an early age. Fundamental practices include regular tooth brushing and routine dental check-ups. Furthermore, maintaining a balanced diet—focusing on beneficial nutrients while avoiding harmful foods—is another vital aspect of dental hygiene. Adhering to these principles significantly contributes to the development of healthy, happy, and confident individuals.
