Children's teeth are much more prone to caries than adults. Regular consumption of sweets and lack of proper oral hygiene can lead to premature problems with baby teeth.
Diseases of the teeth and gums can be affected not only by adults, but also by small children. Therefore, teeth should be taken care of from a very early age. As soon as the baby is one year old, he needs to be taken to the dentist. And after that it is worth driving every six months. The child's body is more susceptible to any infections and it is much harder to resist it. Also with the teeth.
Here are some reasons why children's teeth are prone to diseases:
1) With poor oral hygiene, plaque remains on the walls of the teeth, which leads to caries. After that, inflammation of the gums begins, which can lead to the loss of milk teeth in children, and this is very dangerous. When two milk teeth appear in babies, it is worth paying careful attention to oral hygiene. Daily cleaning is essential.
2) The second reason for dental disease is the breakdown of carbohydrates. These include sucrose, glucose and fructose. Basically, a lot of carbohydrates are found in sweet foods. To avoid deposits on the teeth, after eating sweets, the child should brush his teeth. If you do not observe hygiene, then harmful bacteria begin to multiply on the teeth, which lead to inflammation.
3) During pregnancy, you should also carefully consider the health of the unborn baby. Even in the womb, teeth are formed in the first trimester of pregnancy. Bad habits of the mother and colds can affect the improper formation of teeth.
4) The use of a nipple also negatively affects children's teeth. When the parents bottle feed the formula, the baby falls asleep. And in the mixture there is a sugar content, that is, the oxidation of children's teeth occurs.
Symptoms and treatment of children's caries
At the initial stage, children's caries is very easy to recognize. White or brown spots begin to appear on children's teeth. The kid may complain of pain in the teeth. Usually pain occurs when cold or hot hits. Bad breath may also occur.
If you consult a doctor at the time, then, perhaps, caries will not need to be treated. The procedure for applying silver fluoride will simply be performed. If the stage is already running, then it will have to be treated. The dentist will painlessly heal the tooth and place a filling. If the parents miss this moment, the inflammation will turn into pulpitis.
One thing to remember is that milk teeth can and should be treated.
