Why do parents have to pay attention to their children's oral health?

Parents should pay attention to their children's oral health, because oral health not only affects their children's physical health, but also affects their quality of life and social skills. Here are some reasons:

1. Prevention of dental caries and other oral diseases: Unhealthy oral habits and bad eating habits may lead to dental caries, periodontal diseases and other oral diseases. These diseases will not only cause pain and discomfort, but also affect children's eating and pronunciation ability.

2. Promote physical health: Research shows that oral health is closely related to general health. For example, periodontal disease may increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Therefore, maintaining good oral hygiene can promote children's health.

3. Build self-confidence: A healthy smile can make children more confident and cheerful. If children have bad breath or irregular teeth, they may feel inferior and uneasy. By paying attention to children's oral health, parents can help them build a positive self-image and self-confidence.

4. Prepare for the future: Good oral hygiene habits should be cultivated from an early age. If children don't develop good oral hygiene habits when they grow up, they may need to spend more time and money to repair their teeth and treat oral problems when they grow up. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their children's oral health as soon as possible and prepare for their children's future.
