Did you know that children are more prone to cavities than adults?

For the first seven years, your children have baby (primary) teeth. The enamel on these little teeth is not as hard as the enamel on the adult teeth that will replace them.That is one reason why children are more likely to get cavities. And, contrary to popular belief, baby teeth do count and impact the teeth you children will have for the rest of their lives. Bacteria that can live on the chewing surfaces of these primary teeth can migrate into molars that are developing beneath them. 

It is extremely important to start children on a regular regimen of good home dental care and dental checkups with the dentist to make sure that they keep their baby teeth healthy. The Indian Dental Association recommends that you bring your child in to see the dentist within six months after the first tooth has come in. This first dental visit should be no later than the child’s first birthday. It is just another part of your "well-baby" checkup that will get your child started on a lifetime of good health and beautiful smiles.Preventing Cavities.

One way to help prevent cavities on your children's teeth is to get them started on a regular regimen of brushing and flossing twice every day. Making this a fun game and participating with your child when they brush will make it something that won't turn into a dreaded task. Good diet and nutrition also will lower the number of cavities and problems your child's teeth can have.Did you know simple sugar (sucrose)causes acid-causing bacteria? This can lead to cavities by eating into the enamel !

Dr. Ratnika Agarwal ,Head Dental Surgeon at Smile Up Dental Care & Implant Center recommends :

  • Consuming less sugar. 
  • Limit the number of snacks that have  sucrose. Adequate dietary calcium, phosphorous,  vitamins A, D, and C also promote healthy and strong enamel formation. Feed your child foods that are rich in these nutrients. 
  • Limit the number of snacks your child eats. Sugary snacks, especially cause acid and bacteria to grow. If a child snacks all     day long, there is a lot of time that acid-causing bacteria can eat away at their pearly whites. 
  • Get a dental sealant to protect your child’s  teeth. Highly Experienced & Specialized team of Dentists at Smile Up Dental Care & Implant Center can apply a safe, plastic coating on the pits and fissures of the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth (molars and bicuspids). This is very effective in preventing cavities on a child’s baby and permanent teeth. It is painless and does not require any anesthesia.
  • Not Seeing the Dentist Will Damage Your Child's Teeth 
  • Adults with many dental and periodontal problems started off as children without adequate dental care. By not taking your child to the dentist you are actually dooming them to a lifetime of dental problems. Starting them early will remove the "fear factor"that so many people often have of dentists, and prevent problems before they ever start. It costs less when you start early too.Smile Up Dental Team believes in working with families to make sure their children get the dental care they deserve.
