Dentist and dental care for children
Here are some tips I can give to parents who have a vital role in maintaining good oral health of their children.
Eating habits of children.
Avoid sugar

Digestion of sugars leads to the release of acid that attacks tooth enamel: the beginning of the process carious.
T sugar is present in many foods.
The most harmful is the refined sugar content in chocolates, candies, cakes, cookies etc..
Sugar is also present in all soft drinks, including fruit juices .

The preferred drink for your children is simply water.
Brushing the teeth
All babies are bacteria in the mouth.
We can start cleaning the mouth of a baby with a compress, before it has teeth.
From the first appearance of the tooth (usually the around 6 months) it is necessary, you parents that you brush the teeth. The child will thus become aware of this habit.
It will continue until it is able to do it alone, or around two and a half years, three years.
A check of brushing and a little help if necessary, will be always welcome.
We can consider that a child has the dexterity sufficient from the age of 6 years to make himself a good brushing.
Regular visits to the dentist
Be aware that decayed teeth should be treated even if they should fall one day!

Teeth Loose and Fractured
In case of a brief, sharp pain, both chewing and eating something cold, there may be an incomplete fracture of a tooth (green stick fracture). The dentist can correct the problem with a filling (restoration), provided in the case of an incomplete fracture without loosening of the tooth.
The upper teeth, particularly the forwards if they are prominent, are more prone to injuries and fractures. If after injury the tooth does not respond to stimulus from the air, it is likely that the damage affected only the hard outer surface (enamel). This does not require immediate treatment if it is a small crack.
