Let children drink more boiled water is the 'tooth protection magic weapon' of many mothers. In fact, the most effective way to prevent tooth decay is to gargle after meals and brush your teeth in the morning and evening.
Many parents have their own experience on how to prevent tooth decay for their children. For example, letting their children drink more boiled water is the 'tooth protection magic weapon' of many mothers. " It can not only replenish the water for the child, but also take away the bacteria in the mouth, killing two birds with one stone. " In life, there are not a few mothers with this attitude. In this regard, Yao Rui, director of children's Stomatology Department of the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nankai University (Tianjin stomatological hospital), introduced that letting children drink more boiled water, eat less candy and drink less coke can indeed help oral health to a certain extent, especially drinking boiled water can help wash away the food residues left in children's mouth and teeth, It can play a cleaning role to a certain extent.
However, the susceptibility to some dental caries is affected by genetic factors, that is, under the same tooth cleaning and dietary conditions, some people are prone to dental caries, while others are not. This is because each person's different genetic genes determine that they have different oral environment and saliva composition. In the face of such individual differences, they simply rely on paying attention to their daily diet, It is difficult to completely avoid dental caries.
The most effective way to prevent tooth decay is to gargle after dinner and brush your teeth in the morning and evening. Yao Rui introduced that in addition to ensuring that they brush their teeth sooner or later, if conditions permit, parents had better train their children to brush their teeth after three meals. However, it should be noted that the time of brushing your teeth every time should be about 3 minutes as far as possible, and do not brush your teeth immediately after eating, otherwise it will cause demineralization of the child's tooth surface. It is ideal to brush your teeth 30 minutes after eating. In addition, if the child can't guarantee to brush and clean his teeth, he can also adopt the method of pit and groove sealing to give the child's teeth the safest protection.
