According to ADA (American Dental Association), tooth decay isn’t a problem that only affects adults. Tooth decay in children is a concern for parents because 42 percent of children ages 2 to 11 develop a cavity in their primary teeth, reports the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. Nearly 28 percent of children ages 2 to 5 develop at least one cavity. This may lead a parent to wonder what causes tooth decay, how to prevent it and how to treat it.
Nobody likes to deal with cavities. “It truly breaks my heart to see young children developing multiple tooth decay and having to go through dental procedures,” according to Dr. Stella Oh who has two toddler of her own. Tooth decay not only affects your overall health, but it can be uncomfortable to repair. The same happens for children. As a parent, if you don’t teach your children the importance of proper dental care, they could face some very uncomfortable dental problems for life. To protect your child’s oral health, it is essential to understand the best ways to prevent dental cavities in children.
Here are some tips from Dr. Stella Oh to help parents like you reduce cavity for your beloved children.
