Prevent Child Dental Peephole
Monday, December 6th, 2010
Dental care is very important to start from childhood. One way is by considering their food intake. Consumption of sweet drinks and obesity is believed to be the main cause an increase in cavities among children under five.
In a study of 65 children aged 2-5 years who received dental cavities in their baby teeth, found 28 percent of children were overweight, even obese. Also note also 71 percent of children get the 1200 calorie intake is higher than other children of normal weight.
Lack of proper nutrition not only causes the child obesity but also cause cavities. Unfortunately there is rarely research linking these two things. of the research results are known in general there is no difference in total calories consumed between obese and normal children, but the problem is the selection of foods. For example, too much consumption of sweet drinks or milk.
The main cause of tooth decay is acid made by bacteria present in the oral cavity. Germs will result if any residual acid foods containing sugar and flour, which is sticky on the teeth in a long time.
To avoid the occurrence of holes in the teeth under five, children do not get used to drink milk from a bottle to fall asleep to the sweet liquid will not inundate the teeth for too long. If the baby teeth begin to grow, teach children to brush their teeth. Do not forget, your child’s teeth checked every six months.
