The popularity of Justin Bieber has a great support by a massive merchandise with a large variety of goods and products with his image and name on, which appear in the shops and markets. Justin Biebers’ products include everything, from dolls and pencils to nail polish. Certainly, it is mostly targeted to young and teenage audience, that is why the latest trend from 17-year-old teenage singing sensation Justin Bieber’s merchandise, namely his electric singing toothbrushes, is expected to have a great demand, as well as help increase the awareness of teenagers about the importance of daily dental care and oral hygiene.

It is announced that this summer two types of special singing toothbrushes from Justin Bieber will be available for all his fans. The electric devices will come in two types – one is designed to play the tunes Somebody To Love and Love Me, while the other is going to blast out the hits like Baby and U Smile. It is interesting that each song is going to last exactly two minutes – the recommended time for brushing your teeth (twice a day). This is considered a great way to encourage young fans of Bieber to brush the teeth as long as it necessary in one session.

The price expected is going to be approximately £6 per item. If everything goes fine and the product will successfully find its users (we actually do not have doubts about it!), it is planned to launch many more of dental products in the framework of Bieber’s merchandise line. In particular, there are the ideas to start producing a larger tooth brush for older fans of young superstar, as well as dental floss and a special travel kit, which is going to include that items like a tongue scraper and a mini hourglass timer, etc.

Canadian dental specialists remind all moms and dads about the necessity to start regular dental care in babyhood. There is a theory that there’s no need in taking care of babies’ gums and mouth (especially in case if there are no signs of infections, etc.), because the teeth will eventually fall out very soon. However, this practice can cause a lot of trouble to children. “Studies now show that, although you are not born with the bacteria associated with cavities, you acquire those bacteria prior to getting teeth. Once you have a basic culture of the bacteria in your mouth, you can set the pattern of getting cavities. The balance against that is appropriate oral hygiene — wiping gums and brushing teeth really early,” says Dr. Sarah Hulland, former president of the Canadian Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

Pediatric dentists also remind that children’s oral health depends a lot on the one of his parents. Family history of dental problems and diseases can be easily passed to the new generations, at that affecting oral health of developing and newborn babies as well. In particular, certain bacteria can be transmitted directly from mouth to mouth, that is why moms and dads should practice the highest level of dental care. In particular, dental specialists warn parents against kissing their babies and infants on the mouth.

In addition, starting to practice dental care procedures early helps develop strong dental care habits in children. Wiping baby’s tongue and gums helps not only lower risks of various dental infections or diseases, but makes the baby get used to regular dental procedures. “It also helps to reduce the risk of thrush that a lot of babies get because of the yeast infection on their tongues. Once you have them into the pattern of having their gums wiped, toothbrushing is a natural flow as children get older,” Dr. Hullands says. To prevent early childhood tooth decay, Canadian specialists recommend making the first visit to dentist not later than the child turns 1 year old.

World’s leading dentists and dental scientists recently expressed their concern about the effects of incorrect bottle-feeding on dental health of babies. They warn young parents that bad bottle-feeding practices may have increasing risks and cause damage of the baby’s teeth. According to the New Zealand Dental Association, increasing number of children is being brought to dental check-ups and diagnosed with tooth decay caused by bottle misuse. And the truth is, sometimes the damage is really serious, so in many cases dentists are forced to remove rotten teeth.

Dental specialists say that parents should be much more concerned and responsible for their actions when feeding the babies, and developing bad habits in these situations can cost a lot. David Crum from the New Zealand Dental Association comments on the situation as the following: “They put the child to bed with a sweet drink in the bottle. A lot of acid is produced and the teeth rot. Or they put honey on the teat of the bottle, I guess to make it taste sweet and to induce the child to bottle feed, which is bad. It really is bad for their teeth.”

Dental specialists pay attention of young parents on the fact that danger to their baby’s teeth while bottle-feeding comes from two sides. First of all, damage can be caused by using sweet milk or sweet baby food, which itself is very harmful to developing teeth of babies and toddlers. Second off, placing a bottle next to the baby for a long period of time can cause any sort of physical damage. Nina Vasan, a specialist from Kidz Teeth, explains: “It’s similar to a child which is thumb sucking. A dummy or teat that is placed in the mouth for long periods of time, three, four, five hours that can affect the way the jaws are growing, especially at night time”. As a result, not only teeth get rotten, but also certain damage of tooth layout can take place. Therefore, parents are asked to be more careful and more attentive, as well as not forget to check their babes’ teeth on a regular basis.
