Parents beware! A 5-year-old boy has all his deciduous teeth destroyed and his mouth is bald. The 'real murderer' turned out to be it
I received a 5-year-old boy in the hospital dentistry. The child's mouth was bare and he could barely see his teeth! There are a total of 20 teeth, 8 of which are rotten and only the roots are left, and the roots are now all black. Eating is a big problem for kids now, and they can't chew food at all.
Children now speak slurred, no one can understand, and communication has become a problem. After the doctor's examination, the child was caused by drinking Coke for a long time, which is what we usually call "Coke teeth". The child's grandparents don't understand science and love their grandson too much. Every day when the child is making a fuss about drinking Coke, they will give him a drink.
The doctor said that many children have Coke in their baby bottles. Basically, tooth decay depends on ingesting sugar in human mouths to survive. After absorbing sugar, bacteria will produce acidic substances that can corrode teeth, which will cause teeth to gradually corrode. Lose. If you don’t brush your teeth obediently to remove bacteria and acids from your teeth, the chance of tooth decay in your mouth will greatly increase. Many parents now fail to consider that fruit juices, nutritional supplements, sparkling drinks and even sugar-free drinks are bad for teeth!
What are the dangers of neglecting the care of baby teeth?
Affect digestion, cause a partial eclipse, and damage the baby's deciduous teeth, which will inevitably affect the baby's digestion, and various indigestion diseases will inevitably follow.
It is not conducive to the correct pronunciation of the baby. Babies with healthy deciduous teeth learn to speak earlier than those who do not take care of their deciduous teeth.
Affect the development of the baby's permanent teeth, the development of the permanent teeth will not get the space it deserves and become uneven
Deciduous tooth caries are very harmful. Dental caries may also be caused by "Streptococcus mutans" (the pathogenic bacteria of tooth decay) entering the blood circulation, affecting the health of the baby's heart, kidneys and other organs.
How to take care of baby's milk teeth?
- Properly exercise your baby's chewing ability
Feed your baby chewable fruit (except for babies that are too young), and try to limit or avoid alkaline ionic drinks and carbonated drinks. Lactic acid bacteria drinks also contain a lot of sugar and acidic ions, so try to give your baby less. In addition, it is also necessary to control the amount of snacks and sweets that children eat.
Pay attention to the baby's hand hygiene to prevent the baby from bringing the bacteria on the hands into the mouth, which will affect the health of the deciduous teeth. Correct the child's bad habits such as biting fingers and biting the pen.
Get rid of the habit of sleeping with the baby in the bottle. The carbohydrates in the liquid of the bottle will be decomposed by bacteria to produce acid, which will erode the teeth, demineralize and dissolve the teeth, and form dental caries. Avoid using the bottle while the child is lying down.
From an early age, develop the habit of paying attention to oral hygiene. The routine practice is to gently clean the baby's teeth with soft gauze, oral wipes or finger-tip toothbrush; when the baby is one year old, it is necessary to clean the teeth after each meal. After the baby is two years old, you can teach your baby to brush his teeth. At this time, it is beneficial to choose a healthy children's toothpaste and toothbrush to teach the baby to brush his teeth in the morning and evening and rinse his mouth after meals.
The treatment of caries in the baby's deciduous teeth cannot be ignored. When it is found that the baby has caries, we must pay attention to it and seek professional solutions in time. It is more important to eliminate caries at the stage of deciduous teeth than to make up for it later.
