How to protect children's teeth

Carie and fluorine
But when So is this the ideal time to take a child to a dentist? Some advise to go before the age of one year, others recommend waiting for the age of 2-3 years. When you think about it, between the two, there is also the issue of comfort to consider! If your baby starts screaming when he sees the dentist, doctor or anyone else, it becomes a traumatic experience for everyone we do not like to repeat. So, from there to make an appointment to the dentist voluntarily! ! It is true that with proper maintenance house, we can afford to wait a little baby grow!

A little but not too much ... Knowledge waited for her daughter has three years to bring to the dentist ... Little was petrified of doctors and nurses, so his mother was reluctant to conduct an in the dentist ... The good news is that it went very well between the dentist and the child ... The bad, the child had 10 Cavities!

Baby Care
Even before its first teeth appear, we should clean the baby's gums with a soft washcloth after each meal. It is when the first tooth appears that we begin to use a soft toothbrush. It may take a little toothpaste. An amount corresponding to the size of a pea enough.

Young children, like the girl we spoke just now, are particularly sensitive to the so-called bottle tooth decay, cavities that are caused by the prolonged presence of liquid into the mouth of the child, as when he falls asleep with her bottle tooth! It is nice to see, but not innocent ... Only a rigorous maintenance of the mouth and regular visits to the dentist can prevent cavities in children.

Child care
Speaking of maintenance ... It's funny to say, but the hardest part when a child learns to brush their teeth, this is not the exercise itself ... It's to teach him to spit "good toothpaste to Bubblegum" rather than swallow ...! Not always obvious! Yet it is very important to spit and rinse their mouth, because if the child ingested its toothpaste as candy, it will be left with a problem of fluoride overdose.

Fluor
Fluoride works in two ways on the tooth during their training, it makes your teeth up to a certain extent naturally resistant to decay. When teeth have erupted through the gum, fluorine that is added absorbs and reduces 60 percent risk of developing cavities.

Fluoride is important for the protection of teeth. But the child who absorbs too much fluorine will develop what is known in the jargon of the trade, dental fluorosis. The main consequence of this is the appearance of brown spots or white not very pretty on her teeth ... And in addition, the enamel of the teeth will become rough and therefore difficult to clean, a problem more! It is a pity because these children often end up in cosmetic dentistry, later in adolescence or adulthood, so the spots may be apparent, and so embarrassing!

So before giving fluoride supplements to your child, it is important to at least two things: A phone call to see if your city "fluore" tap water and a close reading of your tube of toothpaste ... In with a good idea of the amount of fluoride your child absorbs, you'll be better able to judge precautions ... And a little visit to the dentist it does not!
