Bacteria, acid, food debris and saliva combine in the mouth to form a sticky substance called plaque that adheres to teeth and is more prominent on the back molars, just above the gum line in all teeth and the edges of fillings.
The plaque is not removed from the teeth is mineralized and becomes tartar . Plaque and tartar irritate the gums, causing gingivitis and ultimately periodontitis . Plaque begins to accumulate on teeth within 20 minutes of ingestion of food, which is the time when when most bacterial activity.

Healthy teeth are important for all children, but in the special case of our son, who suffers from heart disease is even more important. If the germs that live normally in the mouth get into the bloodstream, they can reach your heart, a heart defect is due to its easier to infect a healthy heart.
According to the Foundation Hearts Giblets, recent comparative studies among healthy children and children with heart problems have shown that parents of children with heart problems are less important and less attention to dental care for parents of healthy children. Results are very worrying if we consider that healthy teeth in children with heart disease is even more important than in healthy children. If the germs that live normally in the mouth get into the bloodstream, they can reach your heart . Infection in the heart, called “infective endocarditis” is a very serious disease that requires treatment in hospital with antibiotics for several days. This is why we must take special care to keep your mouth clean and healthy. To avoid such unwanted infections and their consequences, the Spanish Society of Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Disease recommends a few simple tips:
Teeth cleaning. You have to brush your teeth properly after every meal. In very young children when they begin teething (between 6 and 16 months of age) is recommended to clean the mouth once a day with gauze soaked in water. The best time is before you put him to bed at night. When I go to have more teeth (2 years) you have to use special soft toothbrush for children, and ye are parents, you have to take care of the cleaning, and help the child until you know it alone (7 years of age). When the child is older, you can use dental floss to complete the cleaning of the teeth. Fluorine . It is best to use a fluoridated toothpaste, but a small amount (about the size of a pea). It is important to teach your child to spit out the toothpaste, because much swallow fluoride is bad for him. While the child does not know spit out the toothpaste and not swallow it, it will be without fluoride. All children need fluoride to prevent cavities. Generally, the tap water we drink and wearing it, but you must ensure this by asking your dentist. If your drinking water has no fluoride (0.6 ppm) can give a pill, but assure you that not too much, it would also be harmful. Food . You must choose foods that do not have much sugar. Remember that fruits and vegetables are better than candy and cookies. It is better for children to eat a few sweets and candies, but if they ever do is very important to clean your teeth afterwards. You should also avoid sugary drinks, like juices and sodas. It is better to teach them to drink water.
Bottles and pacifiers . No baby to get used to going to bed with a bottle, but if needed, used a bottle of water or unsweetened chamomile. Milk, juice and sweet drinks such as sodas have sugar, and drink a bottle of this liquid, eventually cause cavities. It can be used to quiet the baby bottle as a pacifier. The child must eat in their hours. If you use pacifiers, never smeared in sweet (sugar, honey, condensed milk …) as this is a very common cause of tooth decay in children.
