Question 9 :

A nurse is providing guidance to parents on promoting dental health in their toddler. What intervention should the nurse recommend?

Delaying the introduction of toothbrushing may lead to dental issues and is not recommended.

Falling asleep with a bottle containing sugary liquids can contribute to dental cavities and should be avoided.

Dipping a pacifier in honey is not recommended, as it can lead to dental issues and poses a choking hazard.

This statement is correct. Initiating regular toothbrushing with a small, soft-bristled toothbrush promotes dental health in toddlers.
