Tooth decay, sometimes referred to as dental caries, is the most prevalent chronic oral health issue among toddlers, school-going children, and adolescents. Tooth decay begins with enamel deterioration and can develop into cavities and tooth damage severe enough to require extraction. The good news is that you can detect and reduce the risk of early tooth decay in children. White patches at the gums, mainly on the top two front teeth, maybe the first sign of tooth decay. Even for a child's doctor or dentist, these spots are initially difficult to identify without the right tools. This process prevents further harm and stops tooth decay from spreading and growing; a young child with cavities must be checked and fixed immediately. Good dental hygiene and a balanced diet that limits sugary meals and drinks prevent tooth decay. Parents can help prevent dental decay in their children by providing them with a healthy, well-balanced diet from an early age.   Visit the dentist often, even if you maintain good dental care at home. The dentists will inspect your child's teeth and provide recommendations. Most dentists recommend the first visit around a child's first birthday. Tooth decay can cause oral and child health problems, but it can be prevented and reduced. Teach your kid proper dental hygiene and regular dentist visits. Your child will feel better and laugh brighter.
