Ignoring tooth decay can damage a child's appearance

In life, some family members think that tooth decay is common in their children and do not pay attention to it. However, this will delay treatment and make the child less attractive. If the condition is aggravated, it will induce other diseases and threaten the child's health.

1. Tooth decay is a common oral problem

Tooth decay is a very common oral disease. It is mainly due to the erosion of oral bacteria in the process of calcification of children's baby teeth, which leads to problems with children's dental health, which is often referred to as tooth decay.It is mostly related to the child's daily bad living habits and eating habits. Parents need to strengthen their children's hygiene habits and eating habits to give their children a good oral environment.

2. Common causes of tooth decay

There are two main reasons for tooth decay in children, one is that there are a lot of food residues that are not cleaned in time after the child's diet, resulting in the growth of oral bacteria, and the child is too young to learn to brush his teeth, or the brushing is not clean enough, and there is still some food left between the teeth to breed bacteria; Second, children have the habit of eating snacks and often eat some junk food or foods with high sugar content, and the bacteria in the human mouth react with sugar and food residues to generate a large amount of lactic acid, which destroys the health of teeth and causes tooth decay.

3. Causing damage to the child's facial development

Parents should not underestimate tooth decay as a minor problem that should not be prevented and treated. Tooth decay is often behind the asymmetry of a child's facial development. Tooth decay can cause toothache, and children will avoid using it when chewing, and if this is done for a long time, it will cause uneven development of masticatory muscles and facial asymmetry. Therefore, parents must treat their children in time when they find that they have tooth decay, otherwise it will lead to the loss of the child's appearance.

4. Induce other diseases and toothache

If tooth decay is not treated in time, they will infect surrounding teeth, causing dental infections such as pulpitis, odontogenic cysts, and even permanent teeth that have just erupted.If your child's gums are infected for a long time, germs can often spread throughout the body, causing vision loss, inflammation of the heart muscle,nephritis, low-grade fever, joint pain and other diseases cause immeasurable damage to the healthy growth of children. Parents should not think that the child's toothache is a trivial matter, and the pain will be fine, but must help the child develop a good habit of healthy teeth from an early age. In short, pay attention to oral hygiene, develop good dental habits, and eat less sweets, and your child's teeth will be healthy.
