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.

Dental care and mouth from an early age is critical dental and mouth until the end of life. Some teeth and mouth disease can be experienced by children and infants when treatment is not done well, such as holes in the surface of the teeth, gums become inflamed, and the sprue.

Tooth decay generally occurs at an early age (children and infants) usually because of food / drink. Sweet foods such as brown and sticky like lunkhead if not immediately brushed / mouthwash will be left behind and causing tooth decay. Also drinks like tea, coffee, soft drinks, and cigarettes can cause a thin layer on the tooth called the stain so teeth become dull color, brown. Coarse layer stain is easily attached to the remains of food and bacteria, which eventually form a plaque, if not cleaned will harden and become tartar, and can spread to the roots of teeth. The result is easy bleeding tooth, wobbly teeth simple and easy to date.

How is the treatment? Consider the following steps:

Familiarize in tooth brushing. Caring your teeth can begin in infancy, this can be done by your child’s teeth cleaned by using cotton gauze or a rinse with warm water, then slowly digosokan on your baby’s gums. If the child is growing up, we as parents have to help introduce teeth brushing routine. Way that can be done by providing learning and brushed his teeth holding.

Eating noticed the child’s diet should also be kept in mind the old. Is the food consumed can damage the teeth or vice versa. Do not be too much to give children eat sweet foods like candy, chocolate, biscuits and foods that are sweet and easily attached digusi. Such foods usually reacts in the mouth and eventually forming acids that can damage tooth enamel. The effects, such as cavities, tooth loss before their time, interference with the size, shape and number of teeth. To prevent this, provide fiber foods, like vegetables and fruits, because these foods are self-cleansing (cleansing) which require mastication process repeatedly.

If it wants to give a brown foods, sweets, biscuits and other sweets should be at the right time, for example, after lunch. When you have finished the child was told to brush his teeth clean.

The first consultation of the dentist should be made from 12 months to assess the risk in the oral health of children, intercept potential problems and advise parents on the prevention of disease. Most children reach almost all the features of swallowing mature between 12 and 15 months.

Children may be at high or low risk of dental disease. The oral health status of parents and / or caregivers has implications on children’s oral health. Remember that dental caries is a infeción produced by microbes that are transmitted by adults to share forks, blowing food, cleaning the pacifier in her mouth, test the temperature of the bottle or kissing on the mouth.
