Oral hygiene habits
The importance of regular brushing, gargling and flossing is self-evident. If oral hygiene is not in place, bacteria will have the opportunity to form dental plaque and tartar, which will lead to dental caries.
eating habits
High-sugar, high-carbohydrate foods and acidic substances are all invisible killers of oral health. They work together to weaken the defense line of teeth and accelerate the formation of dental caries.
Fluoride deficiency
Fluoride protects the strength of teeth like armor. Children who drink fluoride-free water for a long time or have insufficient fluoride intake will lose their teeth' acid resistance.
hereditary factor
Some children are naturally prone to dental caries, and the influence of genes cannot be ignored.
Other factors
Dry mouth, side effects of drugs, malocclusion, etc. , may become the driving force of children's dental caries.
prevention of dental caries
Cultivating children's good oral hygiene habits, adjusting diet structure, ensuring fluoride intake and regular oral examination are all key points. At the same time, it is a compulsory course for every family to educate children about the dangers of dental caries and cultivate their behavior habits of maintaining oral health independently.
