Dental demineralisation does not only occur in adults, but also in children! That's why we have to keep a close eye on their dental hygiene, what they eat and their habits. We know that children are often reluctant to take care of their teeth. If that's your case, visit our orthodontics and dental health clinic in Valencia, we'll tell you some great tips!
But before we get to that, let's talk about demineralisation, what is it? Lental demineralisation is the progressive loss of minerals in the teeth. which are part of the enamel. Dental enamel protects the tooth, but it is very sensitive. If we do not take good care of it, it can be lost, facilitating the appearance of fissures that lead to tooth decay.
If we do not take care of the hygiene of our teeth, meal after meal, bacterial plaque can accumulate. Its acids are very aggressive against enamel. And don't think that just because your children are good, innocent children, they are free from the attack of bacterial plaque. To minimise its effects and reduce its presence, we need to have good teeth cleaning habits, but also good eating habits.
We help you to prevent dental demineralisation in your children 😉
Insisting that children drink water and not carbonated and sugary drinks helps a lot to prevent demineralisation, as well as using toothpastes designed for them and monitoring the way and intensity with which they clean their teeth. They have to do it with little brushes that are not too hard. There are some children who think that they clean more by pressing harder, which is not the case. The worst thing is that if we don't correct all these behaviours now, they will grow up and continue to do so, which will cause them dental problems throughout their lives.
In our dental centre in Valencia we explain how to prevent tooth demineralisation and caries to parents, we teach them how to clean their children's teeth and how to prevent other problems related to the mouth. So if you want more information about this subject, ask us! Not only we are number one in Invisalign First! We look forward to welcoming you and meeting you at Ziving Valencia.
