Dentistry for Children: Baby Teeth and Cavities

by admin

It can be a frightening moment when you first discover that your child has one or more cavities. To avoid that moment of fear, you need to understand the importance of dentistry for children in today’s world. The good news is there are many ways to prevent your baby from forming cavities due to decay.

If your child develops cavities on baby tooth, our family dentists can take care of the problem.

Let’s look at how you can prevent cavities to form on your little one’s baby tooth. The most common reason for tooth decay in children is due to excessive intake of sugary foods. These foods do not include only sugary candies. The different fruits and juices contain plenty of natural sugars that break down teeth if not brushed properly.

A healthy and well-balanced diet which includes calcium and phosphorus is necessary to keep your child’s good oral health. If your child drinks fruit juice, avoid giving it before bedtime and dilute it with water. Your snacks should include vegetables, low-sugar dairy product, and plenty of milk for healthy teeth.

The best thing you can do is to schedule an appointment with the dentists at RiverRock Dental clinic. To ensure good oral health of your child, make sure that you bring your child for regular dental checkup. In between dental sittings, make sure that your child brushes and flosses every day. Brushing twice daily for two minutes before going to bed removes any decay or plaque formed in the mouth.

The Right Brushing Techniques

You should teach your child about the right brushing techniques as given below-

· Teach your children to move the brush back and forth and in gentle circular strokes.

· Tell them to brush the outer surfaces, the inner surfaces, and chewing surfaces of all the teeth.

· Teach them to place the brush at a 45 degree angle to the gums.

· Ask them to also brush the tongue to remove excess bacteria and keep breath fresh.

The Importance of Dentistry for Children

Because it’s not always possible to prevent cavities in your kid’s mouth, dentistry for children is important. If your child develops a cavity, our experienced dentists will notify you during your child’s regular dental visits.

The cavity needs to be eliminated at the earliest, when it appears on your child’s baby teeth. Your family dentist will remove the decayed part of the tooth and fill in the hole. This prevents your child from experiencing any further pain.

You may wonder why we emphasize on taking care of baby teeth. It is important because baby teeth hold spaces where your child’s permanent teeth will grow in future. If the baby teeth are not taken care of, the permanent teeth of your child won’t grow properly.

If you have any concerns about your child’s baby teeth, request an appointment at RiverRock Dental, Downtown Shakopee.
