Why are cavities in children?
Cakes trigger the onset of dental problems among the ‘kids’
Estimates by the World Health Organization , between 60 and 90 percent of schoolchildren have dental caries , one of the most common diseases among children. Children are one of the groups most at risk because they tend to eat more often, eat more candy and also not being experts in the brush as the ‘older’, are not aware of the importance of brushing their teeth after every meal. For this reason, it is the job of the parents be aware the importance of caring for children’s teeth, whether the milk (much more ‘cuddly’ and therefore susceptible to decay more quickly destroy them), or definitive.
This monitoring is especially important during Christmas , nougat , marzipan , chocolate shortbread and become the main enemy of the dental health of children as small bacteria in the mouth have destroyed the sugar in candy, making acids that attack tooth enamel. The more candy children eat, the more likely to suffer tooth decay. The solution, however, is to eliminate the Christmas menu: simply limit (remember that sugar consumption should not exceed 10 percent of total calories you eat one child per day), offering more healthful alternatives, and reminding them to brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste always eat something sweet. Among the most ‘damaging’ to the teeth include the soft sticky (especially among children with braces), as they are easily attached to the brackets , causing bacteria to stay there long. Similarly, hard Christmas candies are very dangerous, whether you eat slowly sucking because it produces a long exposure of teeth to sugar as if they bite, they can fracture the fragile infant or destroy teeth fillings. The sweets are less harmful to teeth are softer, non-sticky, for example prepared from chocolate and nougat.
