young child to take care of their teeth at an early age

In the life of man, when you talk about tooth, we think necessarily to dental caries. This means that even children are not spared from this disease. Indeed, it was found that the age of six, about two thirds of children have caries. But what is it exactly? Explained in a simple, decay due to the fact that the enamel, cementum and dentin (the hard tissue of the tooth) is déminéralisent. This mineral is the result of two distinct causes: the sugar and the bacteria in dental plaque.

First, there's the sugar that comes from the food we eat every day. Presented in five different types, which is the most dangerous of sugar for teeth remains sucrose, found in candies, cookies and sugar home. Then comes pastries glucose, fructose, fruit, milk lactose and starch grains and starches. Then there are the bacteria responsible for cavities, commonly called Streptococcus mutants. These bacteria enter the mouth of the young child as a result of the usual and prolonged relationship he has with his mother, including the transfer of saliva, which often occurs without is not aware of the consequences. Thus, even the baby may have cavities as soon as the baby teeth start to grow because it is in constant contact with the sugar and bacteria. The most blatant is undoubtedly the fact of giving a bottle of milk or fruit juice to the baby whenever he cries. So it is from morning to night, sometimes all night, with sugar in the mouth. Besides his daily food, like soup for infants, for example.

Therefore, when the incisors grow to twelve months, followed by molars to the nineteenth month, it is perfectly possible that the child has a cavity. Before attempting unsuccessfully to prevent the little baby to eat sugar, you should first try to understand. Psychologically, the sweetness is innate to man, he likes naturally sugar. This is one reason why the baby stopped crying and moaning when he puts something sweet in the mouth.

Thus, growing the sweet taste remains pervasive, even imperative, in the life of young children because it causes him a sense of security and relief. And in addition, some families help in the development of this sweet love of giving sweets as a reward for their children. It is difficult to ban a toddler to eat sweets. It will not be easy, the only option is to limit the daily amount you can give it. Indeed, the body needs sugar, but it takes just to provide the proper time, not give him the night, for example, because it promotes the development of caries and bacteria.

And to avoid any complications, it should be asked to brush your teeth at least three times a day, but also to protect children from the hell of cavities, parents should have the right reflexe monthly check their teeth, see if they turn yellow or brown and identify any signs that could indicate the beginning of a cavity (dark gums, patches, ...). If you notice some signs suspects, do not waste a minute longer, take it right now see a dentist.

If it is a baby that was used to drink a sugary substance with the bottle, depriving him at once is simply impossible. You must act progressively, used it, gradually, to taste another. To do this, decrease subtly daily taste of sugar in the bottle with water until there was more. It requires a lot of patience but it is the only method that is truly effective. And finally, help to the mineralization of teeth in your child by giving him from time to time, a certain dose of fluoride. According to doctors, the appropriate dose would be between 0.05 milligrams and 0.07 milligrams per kilogram of weight of the baby.

Ultimately, the mother of prudence remains safe, so please take your precautions, from an early age, take your child regularly to see a dentist for the health of his teeth and especially to prevent cavities.
