I have a friend named Xiao Lin. She has a three-year-old son. When I was a child, I changed my teeth several times because I loved sweets. She knows how painful dental caries are, so she controls her son's sweets very strictly and hardly gives them sweets. But unexpectedly, my son's mouth is full of "little black teeth", which makes Xiaolin very confused: I have never given my child sweets, how can the child still have dental caries?
After Xiaolin took the child to the hospital, the doctor answered her confusion: "Dental caries are not just caused by sweets. Your son's dental caries are caused by unreasonable feeding methods. " It turns out that Xiao Lin's son has poor digestion and absorption ability. Kobayashi often bites up the food and feeds it to the children when feeding, so the children's "little black teeth" are formed.
What harm does dental caries do to us?
Hazard 1: People lack self-confidence.
Children's dental caries, the most obvious is that it affects the appearance and makes people lack self-confidence. Because as soon as a child speaks, his "little black teeth" will be exposed, which will make others laugh at jokes and hurt his self-confidence. After a long time, children will not want to talk to others, and finally their personality will become introverted and inferior.
Hazard 2: Affect chewing ability
When dental caries are serious, it can cause the decline of chewing function, affect children's eating, and then affect children's intake of nutrition.
Hazard 3: bad breath, gingivitis, etc.
The decline of children's chewing function will lead to a lot of food residues and cause bad breath. In addition, dental caries can also cause some oral diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
How do parents prevent their children from getting dental caries?
Practice 1: Avoid some unhealthy feeding methods.
In order to let children absorb it better, parents will first take a bite of food, then chew it, and finally feed it directly to their children by mouth-to-mouth method. This feeding method is very unhealthy, and it is easy for germs to spread to children, leading to dental caries in children.
Practice 2: Don't touch and kiss children often.
Sometimes parents or others will kiss or touch their children's faces when they see their children are too cute, but because there are many bacteria in adults' mouths, if you kiss your children, the bacteria will spread to their mouths, affecting their teeth, thus forming dental caries.
Practice 3: Don't let children eat sweets or sticky food.
Give your child sticky or sweet food. These food residues are easy to stick to children's teeth, which is extremely difficult to remove, so it will lead to dental caries. Parents should educate their children to eat less sweets and sticky food.
It is very important for each of us to keep our teeth healthy. Usually, we should develop the good habit of brushing our teeth on time and pay attention to personal health, which will reduce the occurrence of tooth decay.
