We tell our children, and our parents told us.
But… Why is sugar so bad for children’s oral health?
There are many reasons, but the main one will surely ring a bell: CARIES.
Tooth decay is caused by dental plaque, the accumulation of bacterial plaque that ends up generating a small spot, or hole, in the teeth.
So that your child does not have to suffer from cavities, remind him/her of these small tips:
🦷 Honey, brush your teeth 3 times a day!
🍬Come on, you can have a candy today, but no more candy until next week!
🦸🏽♀️Hoy let’s dress you up as a superhero… and get your mouth checked while we’re at it. Every six months we must check that everything is going well.
In summary, for childhood caries, the most important thing is:
✔️Que your child understands what it is and what danger it entails.
✔️Que chase him a little to brush his teeth after every meal.
✔️Que come every 6 months to monitor their health and to be able to act if necessary.
And you, mom, did you have cavities as a child? Do you find it difficult to control the sweets you eat?
