4 Ways To Decrease Your Child’s Risk Of Tooth Decay




Tooth decay is an increasing problem for children around the world. Children who have tooth decay are more likely to miss school, be ill and require expensive dental procedures in order to fix their smile.  Children who live in poverty are even more likely to be impacted by tooth decay. Here are four ways to help decrease tooth decay.

1.     Increase fruits and vegetables. “Children who consume eight or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day can decrease decay because the high water content can rinse food from the teeth in between brushing,” Dr. Cameron Fuller suggests.
2.     Help your children brush and floss two times a day. Utilize a toothbrush that fits in their mouth comfortably. Brushing removes food from the surface of the teeth while flossing removes the food between the teeth.
3.     Your children should drink at least eight or more cups of water. Water can help remove food from the surface of your child’s teeth. Water that has a small amount of fluoride in it can help strengthen enamel.
4.     Pediatric dentist Dr. Fuller recommends. “Take your child to the dentist for routine cleanings.” In order to catch any problems your child may have early on and in order to clean plaque off of the surface of their teeth.

  1. This really is great information for those who are thinking about helping their kids have the best smile possible. I personally had no idea that there were so many cleaning benefits that came from vegetables. That really is something that is great to tell those who are new parents. My wife will appreciate knowing this and applying to it to our kids. Thank you for sharing. http://www.grins4kids.com
