The bright 20 deciduous teeth fell out 12, so most of them were broken. Before, the mother thought that it didn't matter if the baby's deciduous teeth fell out, just replace the permanent teeth. But one day, Liangliang said that she had a toothache, and her mother had to take Liangliang to the hospital to see her teeth.
Mom said: I was never allowed to eat sugar since I was a child. I never buy sugar at home. New year's goods are snacks such as dried fruits, and there is no drink. Why is the child still covered with dental caries?
But Dr. Zhang found that it was unnatural for her mother to say that her children didn't eat sugar. After the child's mother went to the toilet, Dr. Zhang quietly asked the child: Do you like candy? Liang Liang said, of course, my mother won't let me eat sugar. Grandma gives me a rock sugar or brown sugar every day when she sees me obedient. I put it under the pillow in my room. When my mother can't see it at night, I eat it!
Mother didn't give the child sugar, but it couldn't stop the child's love for sugar. She ate under the covers at night and ate her teeth!
Dr. Zhang said: If the mother gives the child two sweets after meals, the child will not be so greedy for sweets, and eating sweets under the bed at night will hurt his teeth so much.
Children with rotten teeth are not eating sugar, but eating sugar at the wrong time!
Eating sugar will hurt teeth because sugar will produce acid under the action of oral bacteria, which will make the PH value of oral cavity sour, and acid will corrode children's teeth. If you eat sugar after meals during the day, there will be saliva to balance the acidity of the mouth (saliva has the function of cleaning the mouth), but if you eat sugar at night, the oral secretion will be reduced, and the mouth will always be acidic, which is more harmful to children's teeth.
The reason why Liangliang is full of rotten teeth is mainly because of the candy before going to bed every day!
Children are naturally fond of sugar, which is a gene brought by our ancestors and it is difficult to change. If parents educate their children too severely, they may push things to extremes. Where there is oppression, they resist, and when the children grow up, they eat quietly.
Or when children grow up, they will eat snacks for revenge and eat snacks as meals.
We know that eating sugar is not good, drinking drinks is not good, and eating fried chicken is not good, but it is totally unreasonable to give it to children. It is still possible to solve the problem for children once in a while, such as eating fried chicken once a month, eating a candy every day, eating cakes and drinking drinks on birthdays.
These things are not good for children's health, but they add points to their psychological well-being. Parents should strike a relative balance between their children's health and happiness. It is better to let children eat openly than to let them eat secretly.
Pay attention to the time when children eat sugar.
For example, Liang Liang eats sugar before going to bed every night, which is the most harmful time to eat sugar. This will lead to decalcification of teeth, which will lead to dental caries.
It is suggested that the best time to eat sugar is between meals for children. For example, you can eat a candy after a meal, because when eating, our mouth will secrete a lot of saliva to digest food! At this time, eating sugar, saliva will quickly neutralize the acidity produced by eating sugar, and the damage to children's teeth will be relatively small.
Pay attention to control the amount of sugar you eat.
The amount of sugar you eat is also important. Eating a lot of sugar will make the mouth sour, saliva can not be neutralized, and it is easy to lead to dental caries.
For example, it is no problem to eat 1~2 small pieces of sugar every day. If children eat a lot casually, it is easy to cause dental caries.
In rural areas, there is no limit for many parents to give their children these snacks, especially those brought by grandparents, and they can buy as many as they want.
Eating too much sugar will not only lead to children's dental caries in the future, but also make children unwilling to eat because of eating too much sugar, malnutrition, and insufficient intake of calcium, phosphorus and protein will lead to more serious dental caries, forming a vicious circle and damaging children's health.
Pay attention to choosing low-sugar sugar-free milk powder
Children often drink a lot of milk powder. If the milk powder they drink contains sugar, they don't need to eat sugar alone every day. They drink milk and eat sugar every day.
And the sugar contained in milk powder may be more harmful to children's teeth. Many children are in the habit of sleeping with a bottle, sleeping at noon, drinking milk and falling asleep after drinking it. The nipple is still in your mouth. The milk in the nipple also stays in the mouth, which is in close contact with the baby's newly erupted deciduous teeth.
Slowly turn sour and slowly erode the child's teeth. If the milk powder you choose has sugar, it will do more harm to your child's teeth.
The first small thing: pay attention to a balanced diet during pregnancy.
We need more calcium and vitamin D when we are pregnant. At this time, not only the bones of the fetus are developing, but also the children's teeth are developing. Therefore, we should pay attention to balanced nutrition during pregnancy, take vitamin D supplements in outdoor activities, drink milk to supplement calcium and high-quality protein, which will help the development of fetal teeth. (In fact, the teeth of the fetus have developed or even calcified during pregnancy, and the teeth developed after the child is born will sprout out of the gums one by one. )
The second little thing: pay attention to cleaning the mouth after the child is born.
When the baby was young, he drank milk many times, seven or eight times a day. The Oral Health Guide for China Residents suggests that cleaning the mouth with clean gauze after birth can not only prevent thrush, but also massage the gums, which is beneficial to the eruption of deciduous teeth.
The third little thing: the child 1-6 years old. Parents help their children brush their teeth.
Most children will brush their teeth when they are over one year old, but many parents will let their children brush their teeth when they are about three years old. In fact, the fine motor development of children before the age of six is still relatively perfect, so they generally can't brush their teeth cleanly. Therefore, parents are advised to help their children brush their teeth before they are 6 years old.
Finger-set toothbrush is recommended for children over one year old, special children's toothbrush can be used after two years old, and fluoride toothpaste is recommended for children to brush their teeth (a small amount of fluoride will not affect their health, but it can better protect their teeth).
The fourth little thing: try to choose sugar-free food for your child before you are three years old.
For example, milk powder, such as children's snacks and children's rice noodles, should be as sugar-free as possible.
Last year, the World Health Organization called on some producers of children's food not to add sugar to foods eaten by children before the age of three. If sugar is added, it is suggested that the label reads: children should eat after three years old.
The fifth small thing: give children the right food at the right age.
Children's teeth are used to chew food. If parents always treat their children as babies and eat soft and rotten food, it is not good for their health, oral health and strong teeth.
Children may eat granular food when they are eight months old, eat small pieces of food when they are one year old, and try to chew large pieces of meat or vegetables by themselves when they are two years old. With the use, the child's teeth are getting stronger and stronger.
Message from Mama Jing: Besides protecting children's teeth, we should also pay attention to supplementing children with high-quality protein, calcium, vitamin D and vitamin A, which are beneficial to children's dental health.
