Caries is a serious dental disease

Against dental caries, or what safety technique should be preferred? After caries - a serious disease of the teeth can lead to many more complex diseases.

Dentists say that an epidemic of caries has erupted in Ukraine. At half of preschool children dentures are replaced by permanent teeth, already affected by caries - a serious dental disease. Do not leave this problem without attention!

Dentists conducted a large-scale study of the condition of teeth and gums in children from large cities. His results indicate that caries is observed in 87% of 6-year-old babies!


Why is this happening? The thing is that the kids do not clean their teeth too carefully, or even forget to do it at all, but they chew sweet candy bars and popcorn with pleasure, they drink carbonated drinks with sugar. I must say that recently we generally began to consume too much sweet, mealy and starchy food.

Statistics show: 50% of preschool children eat sweets at breakfast, lunch and dinner, and from 40 to 70% - in between meals. But all these chocolate bars, cookies, crackers, chips and rolls serve as a breeding ground for bacteria that cause caries. What else contributes to damage to tooth enamel in toddlers 5-6 years old?

They are growing at this age : the time of the first physiological stretching approaches. They need vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus and fluorine. If the body does not receive them in sufficient quantities with food, water and from complex preparations with vitamins and minerals, it borrows the missing elements from the teeth, which become especially vulnerable to tooth decay - a serious dental disease. For the prevention of this disease in some gardens, even distributed children's toothpaste with fluoride, use their enriched milk and water, and children at risk cover the enamel with protective varnish.

Explain to the child: every time he drinks juice or eats a sandwich, microbes begin to multiply in the mouth. They eat food particles adhering to the teeth, gums and tongue, and multiply their rows, forming a plaque on the enamel. If you do not brush your teeth or do it well enough, after 12-20 hours, the microbes created by the microbes will become thick enough to be felt when the toddler holds the tongue through the teeth.

Particularly intensive formation of plaque occurs when using sweet, sticky and viscous food - toffee, biscuits and chips. And in the course of life, bacteria produce a lot of acid, which corrodes tooth enamel. As a result, it creates a defect, or caries. Where does black color come from? Bacteria secrete hydrogen sulphide, which gives such an effect.

Teach your child to brush twice a day - after breakfast and dinner. Three minutes for the procedure of cleaning small teeth is enough! Buy your crumb a funny baby brush with a sound signal: a familiar song from the popular cartoon sounds exactly 3 minutes.


Where are they - points of vigilance?

What is your vision, Mummy? And at the daddy's kid? If it leaves much to be desired, get involved in the prevention of myopia right now.

Carry a chopped massage once a day for 2-3 weeks. After that, interrupt for 10 days.

Before the impact on the baby's points you need to lay or sit down.

Warn him that at first it will be a little unpleasant.

Work with the tips of the index or thumbs, making rotational or slightly vibrating movements. Pressure is moderate.

Start the massage from points 1 and 2. Then proceed to massage the remaining ones. Minute - for each!

1. Holding the handle with your palm up, find the wrinkle between the brush and the forearm and from this place measure up the distance equal to 3 to the widths of the thumb.

2. Find behind the ear lobes the bony projections, and below them on the sides of the spine are dimples. Pair points on the neck knead simultaneously for 2-3 minutes.

3. Each of the paired points is located in the pit at the inner corner of the eye.

4. Under the lower eyelid in the middle of the lower edge of the bone "window".

5. In the dimple 0.5 cm from the side of the outer corner of the eye.

6. In the groove 0.5 cm from the side of the outer edge of the eyebrow.


Cutlet forward!

Is the child behind in weight and has a poor appetite? Perhaps this is the case when it is worth starting lunch from the second course! First give the baby a cutlet with mashed potatoes, and then a soup. At maloyezhek after a plate with the first quickly there is a sensation of satiety, and on the second place in a stomach does not remain. Well, starting a meal in this case is better right from the third! Drink a child 10-15 minutes before a meal with freshly squeezed fruit or vegetable juice - the organic acids and essential oils contained in it have the property to awaken the feeling of hunger.
