Cavities affect children more than any other chronic infectious disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than half of children between five and nine years have had at least one cavity or filling. Upon reaching age 17, 7% of children have lost one permanent tooth because of caries.
The dentist Patricia Morales explains that a child usually has 20 teeth that are the primary teeth or milk teeth.
“It’s important to bring the child regularly. I would say that after three years if the child can, at least a visual examination to detect if your child has cavities, “said Morales.
In addition to making visual examination, Morales said, if the child is left, you can make a clean to get used to going to the dentist routinely.
A dental problem among children under 24 months is bottle caries. The cause is the bottle that parents give them at night.
“That child has sugar nightly bottle cause tooth decay and is quite aggressive,” said Morales.
The baby bottle tooth decay can be prevented by removing milk at night.
“The way to remove the bottle at night is to dilute the milk with a little water and diluting and diluting to give them only water,” he said.
Morales advised that children start to brush their teeth at least three to four times a day using fluoride toothpaste that does not have, if swallowed.
“When it comes out four to six little teeth mom can take a few wipes or no face towels with a pass in the teeth,” he said.
She added that it is important to try to pass the child to floss between the teeth and joints that children have a diet low in sugar.
“The juices are given in the WIC, juice they buy at the supermarket [is that] dilute because these juices have too much sugar and that is what causes tooth decay,” he said.
Morales spoke out against the consumption of soft drinks because it causes demineralization and decalcification of the tooth which is also the principle of decay.
“It is important that parents have a little curiosity, he opened the mouths of children and the review,” he said.
“If they see any spots, a large black spot, do not expect a child to grow much because the baby bottle tooth decay can be seen the loss of the first layer of enamel and teeth begin to see dark,” he said.
