To the jaw and muscles evolved "as expected", and the teeth do not accumulate plaque, the kid has a lot to chew on, and with effort (meat, fruit, vegetables).

Special list
For the treatment of caries, the dentist can do without a drill and filling using the method of silvering patient's tooth.For the treatment of caries, the dentist can do without a drill and filling using the method of silvering patient's tooth.
Here is a list of problems that may affect children's teeth. We will mention those to protect yourself from which it is possible only by joint efforts of parents and the doctor. Our common goal is to save baby teeth kids intact until the moment when nature decides to replace them permanent. Because of this, and yet steeped in a child skills care of the cleanliness in the mouth, the attention to his diet and habit to regularly visit your dentist, he will likely never know what dental problems.
Caries
The most common disease of the teeth, when they are formed in the cavity - the "holes". With the participation of bacteria (mainly Streptococcus mytans their hard tissues are destroyed. Caries of deciduous teeth is usually found in children aged 2-3 years, but it sometimes also appears in children under 2 years. The disease mainly occurs in the milk incisors of the upper jaw and chewing surface of the molars.
For caries should be quite a bit: negligent care, the onslaught of germs and more sweet. The mechanism of its appearance does. Plaque that remains on the teeth, it becomes a "dental plaque". Bacteria, of which it is composed, produce lactic acid, which damages the vulnerable children's enamel. So it forms a white or a dark spot in this place microbes penetrate, forming a cavity.
The children who stayed with mastering the skill of drinking from a Cup, and especially those of them who falls asleep every night with a bottle, run the risk of the emergence of "bottle caries". The reason is the influence of the sweet liquid on the teeth, and day-to-day and long. These kids caries appears on the front teeth, and this process develops around the entire visible portion of a tooth on the perimeter.
Baby tooth decay increases rapidly and is often found in those places where parents it is hard to see (for example, between the teeth). Toddler disease can long not to bother, but depending on the stage she sometimes responds to pain "in response to" sweet, salty, sour, hot and cold.
Pulpitis
What happens if you avoid tooth decay or to detect it in time and immediately go to the dentist failed? Alas, the next stage of disease of the tooth will not be long to wait. Pulpitis is an inflammation of the soft tissues of the tooth (pulp). At first insignificant, the pain increases over time, manifested by seizures, mostly nocturnal, and "in response to" warm or hit on a sore spot food. The most important thing in this situation - which is already a dangerous process (pulpitis) can again go unnoticed (especially if there was no pain or it was mild and short-lived). And then the process goes beyond the tooth - toddler periodontitis.
Periodontitis
In a moment of aggravation, he makes itself felt constant pain that gets worse, if the tooth to pressure, swelling and redness of the gums and fever. Then the doctor will have to remove the affected milk tooth, because the danger is the rudiment of permanent, located near the roots of the patient! And mild periodontitis often not felt at all, and discover it can only be a doctor. If time does not help your child, the next step will be the strengthening and spread of inflammation - periostitis and osteomyelitis.
Do not think that milk tooth extraction is the solution to all problems and permanent tooth gently fall into place. Unplanned disappearance of the milk teeth leads to "hustle": permanent teeth then just "find no place" in the dentition. Therefore, the baby appears malocclusion, which, in turn, causes breathing problems, work temporomandibular joint, speech, and last but not least it changes the features and proportions of the face.
By the way, if nasal breathing of the child's broken for some other reason, or he already has the habit of thumb sucking, pacifier, this can also affect the development of teeth.
5-6 years
In order to detect possible problems with your teeth in the future, in addition to regular visits to the dentist, be sure to show the child to the orthodontist.
