Healthy children - happy parents!

The birth of a child - is one of the most lovely periods of our lives. The first joy and difficulties , the first words, the first steps and ... the first tooth! A small, white pearl that sparkles with every smile of a baby. And that's exactly about these "pearls" we would like to tell you. Milk teeth need special attention. The development of permanent teeth depends on their condition, the rudiments of which can not develop normally under the influence of the pathogenic environment in carious cavities. Sick tree does not bear healthy fruit . And it's not only about the teeth. After all, what happens with the body of the child (and adult’s as well) when, together with saliva , food and fluid he swallows a certain amount of microbes, which reside on a sick tooth. Infection gets to the amygdala, to the gastrointestinal tract, and then through the cardio-vascular system is carried on throughout the body, which usually begins to spend more amount of energy to struggle with the microbes, thus weakening its own immune system, which also leads to further frequent kid’s illnesses. Is it possible to somehow avoid the problems related with these little "pearls"? Of course you can.

Proper children’s dental treatment

To begin with, you need to bring your baby for an examination to a pediatric dentist. 

The doctor will give you recommendations for the care of the baby's mouth , so you and your baby will learn to do it right. Then don't forget to repeat your visits every three months. After all, caries in baby teeth develops much faster than in permanent ones. This is so due to the difference in the thickness of the enamel (in deciduous teeth it is thinner) and in the amount of dentin (in the temporary tooth there is less of it and it is less mineralized). If you find a bright white spot (initial stage of caries) or a hole (caries itself) in your baby's teeth , be sure to see a doctor to resolve the problem . Do not postpone your visit! This can lead to very unpleasant and painful sensations.

There is another very important point - the first permanent teeth. 

At about 5-7 years molars erupt in the kid’s mouth, the so-called "sixth", and at 9-12 years the "seventh", permanent teeth. But parents often mistake them for milk teeth. It is important not to miss the moment of their complete cutting . During this period, the fissures on them are very weak and are not completely mineralized. Their final maturation and mineral saturation occurs within one year. It is at this time that the deepening of the "still unseasoned " chewing teeth needs to be sealed. To do this, there is a procedure of "fissures’ sealing " (coating with a special sealant, that releases fluoride ion into tooth enamel).
