What to do about children's tooth corrosion

As children's bodies grow rapidly, their nutritional requirements for food will also become more and more. If they do not eat properly, it can cause damage to the body and teeth. For example, if they often eat snacks or sweet foods, etc., these foods are easy to remain in the mouth, which will produce acid and induce children's tooth corrosion. Severe corrosion can also induce many infectious diseases. So what should we do about children's tooth corrosion?

First, what should we do about children’s tooth corrosion? Children’s deciduous teeth are poorly calcified and are prone to caries. Because teeth will not grow bigger after they grow out, and children grow and develop very quickly, their jaws grow rapidly, so tiny gaps may appear between the front teeth after the age of 2 or 3. At this time, even the slightest residual food residue may cause caries. Caries of deciduous teeth progress rapidly and can lead to infection at the root apex, thereby affecting the development and eruption of the permanent tooth germ underneath. Go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Caries of deciduous teeth should be treated in time. If they cannot be treated, they should be removed as soon as possible.

Second, the reasons for children’s tooth corrosion are: 1. Insufficient calcification of teeth. Children's teeth have just erupted, the degree of calcification of the teeth is low, the surface is not smooth and has many micropores. Such teeth have poor acid resistance, and bacteria can easily attach to the tooth surface to form plaque. In addition, children's teeth have many grooves, pits, and gaps, which make food easily trapped and retained. Therefore, children are prone to tooth decay. Improper diet. Children love snacks and eat mostly soft, high-sugar foods, which adhere to the teeth and easily produce acid. Therefore, children are prone to tooth decay. Insufficient oral hygiene. Children have poor self-care ability for oral hygiene. Most of them do not brush their teeth seriously and use incorrect methods. Therefore, children's oral hygiene is not good, and tooth decay is caused by inadequate oral hygiene.

What should we do about children’s tooth corrosion? You can find the answer through the introduction of the above content. How to prevent it? Develop good oral hygiene habits. It is important to brush your teeth in the morning and evening, rinse your mouth after meals, and especially before going to bed, to reduce the accumulation and fermentation of food residues and reduce the formation of dental plaque. Use a fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride toothpaste can make teeth stronger and more acid-resistant, inhibit bacteria, and increase the ability of teeth to recalcify. Get regular dental checkups. You should pay attention to regular self-examination of your oral cavity. You can ask a dentist to check it once every six months to one year to detect caries at an early stage and treat it in time. Since caries in children's deciduous teeth develops quickly, parents should check their children's teeth regularly and seek medical attention promptly if any problems are discovered. Pay attention to your diet structure. Sugar intake must be controlled. You should combine coarse and fine foods, and eat more fiber-rich vegetables and fruits. For children, attention should be paid to proper nutrition, especially they should eat more foods containing phosphorus, calcium and vitamins.
