What are the dangers of tooth decay in babies?

Among sugars, bacteria like sugar the most, and babies also like to eat sugary foods the most. Milk candy, fruit juices, carbonated drinks, etc., are all sugar-rich foods. There are now a lot more babies with tooth decay than before, and the reason is that they eat too many of these snacks. Tooth decay not only affects the appearance, but also has a bad impact on other aspects of the baby, do you know that there are disadvantages?

1. Tooth decay will destroy the normal structure of teeth, and cavities will make children prone to pain and tooth plugging when eating, affecting chewing, and some children dare not bite certain foods or chew large pieces of food, thus affecting nutrient absorption and even physical development; In order to avoid the discomfort of the affected tooth, some children often chew food with the unaffected tooth, which will lead to the asymmetrical development of the child's jaw and masticatory muscles in the long run, and even cause asymmetry on the left and right sides of the face.

2. If tooth decay is not treated early, the cavities will become deeper and deeper, which will eventually affect the development and germination of permanent teeth, resulting in defective development and abnormal germination of permanent teeth, and eventually cause misalignment and deformity.

3. The baby teeth are incomplete, and the upper and lower gums are not closed tightly when occlusing, which will affect the child's pronunciation, especially when making some sounds that must be tightened to pronounce the upper and lower gums, such as "zi", "ci", "si", etc., the pronunciation will be unclear due to air leakage, and if it is ridiculed again, the child's self-esteem and self-confidence will also be hit, which will adversely affect psychological growth.

4. Severe tooth decay will cause bacteria to enter the blood circulation, and even affect the heart, kidneys and other organs of the body.

5. Root granulomas, cysts, and pulp infections caused by dental caries can become the focus of infection, and can be induced when the body's resistance is reduced such as excessive fatigue and coldsnephritis, rheumatic fever, tonsillitis, impetigo, scarlet fever, sepsis, etc.

Infancy and early childhood are the period when children learn language, and intact baby teeth help children master correct pronunciation, which is not good for children's psychological development. The above are several major harms of baby tooth decay to children, and it seems that hot mothers have to prevent it. Children must develop a good habit of brushing their teeth from an early age, rinse their mouths after meals, and supervise their children's brushing in the morning and evening.
