@Parents,

You must know these dry goods!

Misunderstanding

Dental caries are caused by eating sugar

Many parents think: brushing+not to eat sugar = no tooth decay! But such cognition is wrong.

Zhang Peng, chief physician of the Department of Stomatology, Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to the Capital Medical University, pointed out that tooth decay is a chronic disease caused by multiple factors, such as genetic factors, the development structure of the teeth itself, which leads to the real culprit of the tooth decay!

These bacteria are hidden on the surface of the teeth, and they will start to slowly corrode their teeth as soon as they have a chance. It is just that you ca n’t completely ensure that your child does n’t have tooth decay. Eating sugar is not the only factor that causes caries. It is only one of the factors, so it needs to be prevented from various aspects to prevent caries.

Misunderstanding two

Decidity dental caries are not important, permanent teeth are important

Many parents think that their children look at the number of teeth and the troublesomeness of the teeth. They often have a chance. They think that the deciduous teeth will fall off anyway. It is enough to protect the permanent teeth. The deciduous teeth problem does not need to be cured, but this is a wrong concept.

For children's teeth, the age of six to twelve is a very critical stage. Because at this stage, the child's mouth has deciduous teeth and permanent teeth, which is in the alternative period. If parents blindly think that deciduous teeth are not important, whether or not pulled out the broken deciduous teeth, this will not be conducive to the growth of the child's permanent teeth, and it will have a great impact on the eruption of the successor.

Misunderstanding

Elastic teeth affect beauty, no orthodontics

Many parents think that the children's teeth are only affecting the aesthetics, but in fact, the mandibular deformity is not only not good -looking, but also causes a series of dental problems and some oral diseases, as well as the problem of some jaw development.

The teeth are not arranged. When brushing your teeth, it is difficult to clean the toothbrush. Many foods are often left in the seams. In the long run, oral diseases such as dental caries will occur.

If the teeth are not arranged, it will also affect the occlusion and chewing, which will affect the child's growth and development. There are also some problems such as face shape, which will become more serious as the child's growth and development. Therefore, the impact of teeth is not only beautiful, but more importantly on the influence of children's physical and psychological.

Therefore, when parents find that there are these problems in their children's mouth, do not ignore it, and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

Misunderstanding

Pharmaceutical treatment of toothache

Dr. Zhang Peng mentioned such a case. The child's grandmother was distressed by toothache because of the distress of her grandson. She thought of the remedy of peppercorns to treat toothache, and put a grain of peppercorns in the child's caries. Although the child may not be so painful for the time being, the child's inflammation is still there, and because the peppercorns blocked the caries, some pus ca n’t go out, which causes the child's facial infection.

Dr. Zhang Peng reminds everyone that many small recipes seem to relieve pain, but it just covers some surface symptoms. It does not have the effect of treatment, but will cause the infection to worsen. Therefore, when the child encounters a tooth problem, do not use the prescription, you still need to go to the hospital for the doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Misunderstanding Five

Use electric toothbrushes to cleaner with manual brushing

Many parents think that after the electric toothbrush is placed in the mouth, it can replace the brushing, but it is not actually!

If the child just puts an electric toothbrush in his mouth, the electric toothbrush is just the side of it, and the other surfaces are still not brushed, and it is difficult for the child to master the electric toothbrush on each teeth. time. Although electric toothbrushes can improve their children's brushing efficiency, it is futile to master the essentials.

Similarly, mouthwash cannot replace brushing, it can only play a simple rinse, and those places that are difficult to clean on the teeth can only be solved by brushing.
