What are the ways to protect children's teeth?

Many people always think that children will always experience tooth loss, so they ignore the maintenance of their children's teeth. This is most likely to cause the children's teeth to be corroded and fall out, and it will seriously increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract in terms of diet, which is also particularly detrimental to the health of children. If we can do a good job of prevention and protection of children's teeth in daily life, such problems can be avoided. Let's take a look at the ways to protect children's teeth.

What are the ways to protect children's teeth?

Learn the correct way to brush your teeth

In daily life, we not only need to develop good brushing habits, but also master the correct brushing method, otherwise it will not be able to protect our teeth well. If the brushing method is incorrect, it is easy to damage our teeth. Not only will the surface of the teeth be worn away, but the gums will also shrink.

Experts tell us that whether people can master the correct method of brushing their teeth depends largely on the dexterity of our hands. As long as they are adequately guided, most people can effectively clean their mouths using the correct method. Children's movements are slower than adults' and they are more impatient, so parents should teach their children some simpler methods of brushing their teeth, which will not only make it easier for children to master but also motivate them to brush their teeth.

Correct time to brush your teeth

Generally speaking, the ten minutes after dinner is the best time to brush your teeth. During this period, the acidity and alkalinity in the mouth drops from the original 6.8 to 4.5, which is when the acidity reaches its highest value. If the teeth are not cleaned promptly and effectively at this time, these acidic substances will slowly erode the enamel on the surface of our teeth. If this continues for a long time, the teeth will become decalcified and tooth decay will occur.

Increase your dental care in daily life

When it comes to protecting teeth, young children must not forget to take care of their teeth in daily life. For example, tapping teeth and massaging gums in the morning and evening are very effective ways to take care of their teeth. The so-called teeth tapping is actually gently tapping the teeth when you wake up in the morning and go to bed at night. This can effectively promote blood circulation in the teeth and the tissues around the teeth. And gum massage is actually massaging the gums up and down with your index finger when washing your face every day. This can effectively improve the blood circulation inside the gums, and also greatly improve the resistance of the periodontal tissue. Doing so for a long time can effectively prevent periodontal disease.

In addition, you should develop good living habits in your daily life, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and it is best to quit smoking and drinking to avoid adverse stimulation to your teeth.

When many people talk about protecting children's teeth, they think of not giving their children candy. In fact, this is not enough. The above is an introduction to some ways to protect children's teeth. You should also pay attention to ensuring your child's good oral hygiene, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, rinse your mouth after each meal, and eat more foods containing calcium and vitamin C, which will help to strengthen the teeth.
