Many parents and friends want to know this question. Let me give you a brief introduction below.

How to prevent dental caries in children?

Dental caries in children is currently the most common oral disease, and its incidence rate is increasing year by year. To prevent caries in children's permanent teeth, we should first pay attention to caries in deciduous teeth, which is the most fundamental way to prevent caries in permanent teeth. However, most parents have not changed their ideas about oral health and oral diseases. They believe that children's deciduous teeth will be replaced anyway, and they do not pay attention to the protection of deciduous teeth, let alone the cultivation of oral hygiene habits in children.

Most young children do not brush their teeth, and only a few brush once in the morning. Many young children who eat cookies and snacks before going to bed are not required by their parents to brush their teeth. Many parents do not know which foods will cause tooth decay if eaten in excess, and do not repair decayed deciduous teeth in time, resulting in an increasing incidence of tooth decay. Therefore, children’s oral health awareness should be strengthened from an early age, and good oral hygiene habits should be developed to reduce oral diseases.

The above is a brief introduction on how to prevent tooth decay in young children. I hope the above introduction can help everyone. Parents must control their children's snacking, and also make sure their children develop good habits of brushing their teeth frequently and rinsing their mouths before going to bed. As long as children develop the habit, they will be able to continue it well in the future, and it will be easy to have healthy teeth.
