The children are all around 2-4 years old, including the daughter of Mr. Shan Hai, whom we all know. Adults are careless because they turn a blind eye to the size of children's teeth. Many parents are confused about why their children get bottle caries. They don't know when their children should start brushing their teeth, what toothpaste to use, what kind of brushing posture is correct, and what bad oral habits should be avoided in life?
These questions will be answered one by one in my article.
1. Why do children get bottle caries?
Because the child goes to bed without brushing his teeth after holding the bottle for a long time or drinking milk. This is the responsibility of parents, and children don't understand. When they fall asleep, the saliva secretion will be reduced or stopped, so the swallowing function will be weakened, which will lead to nipples or dairy products sticking to the children's front teeth and causing dental caries. We call such teeth "bottle caries".
Bottle caries range from light to heavy. Children with severe dental caries are very common in dental clinics, which makes me sigh that ignorance is terrible. The purpose of our research may be to prevent more uncertainty in life. Just as we make ourselves experts in preventing future famines, we are constantly developing technologies to prevent alien invasion.
Many parents are worried and tell me that their children's teeth are "rotten". When asked, they either often drink carbonated drinks such as cola or like to eat cookies with a lot of sugar. Drinking these things and eating these things will not directly lead to tooth decay, but did he rinse his mouth with clear water in time? Does he brush his teeth correctly? Is he brushing his teeth correctly? Does he usually have bad oral habits?
Pity our dentist, most children don't cooperate to treat their teeth. Therefore, "bottle caries" mainly depends on parents to develop correct and healthy living habits for their children. Put an end to sleeping with a bottle, brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water before going to bed, and prevent "bottle caries" from the root.
2. When does the child start brushing his teeth?
Children can brush their teeth when their teeth erupt. It should be noted that children's newly erupted teeth are very fragile, so don't use a toothbrush. You can cut a small piece of cloth, wet it with water and rub it on your child's teeth; Or buy a fingertip toothbrush online, which can be put on your finger, which is very convenient.
3. What toothpaste does the child use and what toothbrush does the child use? There is food in the child's teeth. What should I use to remove it?
Children use children's toothpaste and toothbrush. If the child's food gets stuck in his teeth, floss it. There are videos on the Internet about proper flossing, which parents can learn. Don't use toothpicks, because toothpicks will damage your baby's gums.
4. How to unlock the correct brushing posture of children?
The children brush their teeth in circles. Brush your teeth inside and outside in the order of upper right-upper left-lower left-lower right, and brush your teeth for at least three minutes at a time, once in the morning and once in the evening. Children need their parents to brush their teeth before they brush their teeth. Children can brush their teeth by themselves when they are two or three years old.
5. What bad habits should be avoided in life?
Babies look good when they are young, but they may not look good when they grow up; Babies are ugly when they are young, but not necessarily when they grow up. In order to save your baby's future face value, let me tell you seven bad oral habits that your baby needs to avoid:
1. Mouth breathing habits. Long-term oral breathing can cause baby's teeth to be uneven;
2. Bite your lips. Frequent biting of the lower lip can lead to symptoms such as lip opening to expose teeth, short and thick upper lip, prominent upper teeth, and mandibular retraction. Often biting the upper lip will lead to what people often say, "heaven covers the earth."
3. The habit of sucking fingers. It can also lead to uneven teeth.
4. Stick out your tongue and stick out your tongue. Can lead to local bite, teeth tilted to the lips.
5. Unilateral chewing habits: This situation is generally that one tooth is broken and the baby can only eat with one tooth. It may eventually lead to asymmetry in the development of the left and right sides of the face.
6. the habit of sleeping with hands or fists: it will lead to asymmetric facial development.
7. Biting habit: refers to the habitual biting of objects (more common biting pencils and nails, but also biting the back corners of various stationery and clothes, etc. ). If the teeth are used for a long time, they will form a small bite at the bite.
