The basis of the permanent teeth of children and adolescents was laid in the first few years of life. Some studies show that in the first two years of life, poor eating habits, poor eating habits and inadequate brushing habits are all associated with dental caries in children. Deciduous tooth decay further increases the risk of developing tooth decay.
Therefore, it is important to establish proper oral hygiene habits early in life, which helps ensure the healthy development of healthy teeth. Parents as a consistent role model is the key to developing everyday life and giving children a good understanding of the importance of oral hygiene. Toothbrush should be an integral part of everyday hygiene dental supplies. Children are very sensitive to social stimuli like praise and affection and learn best by imitating their parents. Physical and psychological development affects children's oral care.
The importance of the main dentition
Six-month-old child begins to sprout. The main dentition completed about two and a half years of age. Deciduous enamel has a lower density of enamel than permanent teeth, making them particularly vulnerable to decay. Primary teeth are the basic tools for chewing and learning to talk. They help break down the food into smaller pieces, thus ensuring effective digestion. The complete set of teeth is an important prerequisite for learning the correct pronunciation. Primary teeth also play a crucial role in the correct alignment and spacing of permanent teeth; therefore, they must be well cared for and preserved until normal folic acid fission occurs. Establishing proper oral care procedures early in life has laid the foundation for the development of healthy and strong permanent teeth. In addition to good oral hygiene, diet also plays a key role in maintaining dental health. In this respect, it is not only the quantity of sugar but also the frequency of consumption. As much as possible to limit children's sweets between meals, especially at night or at night.
New permanent teeth
Although permanent teeth have been partially formed in children aged 0 to 3, when 32 permanent teeth (16 on the palate and 16 on the jaw) are replaced by 20 permanent teeth (only 6 and over). Root resorption and tooth loss occurred during this period. With the first permanent tooth outbreak (from about 6 years old), the mouth contains a mixture of nascent and permanent teeth, which increases the risk of dental caries in children. Often the eruption of this permanent tooth is neither done by the child nor by the parents, as it lies behind the last molars and does not replace any of the main teeth. Although the enamel is fully formed upon eruption, the surface is still porous and not fully mineralized. Secondary mineralization (second maturation) then occurs, where ions from the oral cavity penetrate the hydroxyapatite and increase the resistance of the enamel against dental caries. In addition, any tooth with caries forms a bacterial storage cavity that can easily attack immature enamel of new permanent teeth. During the outbreak, the occlusal surface of the new permanent tooth is lower than the main tooth. Taking into account the loose birth of newborn teeth, gaps and new permanent teeth coexistence, brushing becomes more difficult than ever before. The chin is also growing significantly, making room for more teeth. As the number of teeth increases, cleaning of narrower interdental spaces becomes even more important.
Parental dental equipment role
Parents play a key role in helping their children formulate appropriate oral hygiene habits in the first few years of their lives. Parents should lead and supervise children's teeth brushing for about 12 years until motor and mental function allows the child to often perform appropriate brushing techniques individually. In the first two years after their children brushed their teeth, parents had to use fun motivations to encourage their children to brush their teeth after about 3 years - when the children wanted to brush their teeth individually. Every time a child finishes brushing his teeth, parents should re-brush hard to clean areas. At the age of 6, children can brush their teeth with appropriate brushing techniques. At this stage, parents must continue to monitor their children's normal brushing work. The special anatomical situation of dental changes makes it still necessary for parents to assist their children in daily brushing tasks until the second molar (around the age of 12) is indispensable.
