Thumb sucking places pressure on the baby teeth and cause them to push forward. This can lead to tooth removal or braces.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tooth Decay<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsurprisingly, a child\u2019s teeth are not as strong as an adult and normally have 50% less enamel protecting their teeth. This means that cavities can form easier and can cause damage faster. So make sure to practice good brushing and flossing habits with your child and bring them in for regular visits to check for tooth decay!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worrying about tooth decay in your children probably isn\u2019t at the top of your concerns, however, this is a problem that <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nidcr.nih.gov\/DataStatistics\/FindDataByTopic\/DentalCaries\/DentalCariesChildren2to11.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">affects 42% of children ages 2 to 11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In fact, nearly 28% of children ages 2 to 5 develop at least one cavity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We want all our patients to have happy, healthy smiles so we put together this handy guide for parents on how they can prevent tooth decay in children and what they can expect if their little one develops a cavity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Causes Tooth Decay in Children?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tooth decay is caused when bacteria in the mouth begin to eat away at the primary teeth. This can happen due to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inadequate dental care<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not brushing your teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going to bed with a bottle (baby bottle tooth decay)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too many sugary treats<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You Can Prevent Cavities Before They Happen<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although this a somewhat common problem in children, there are a few things you can do to prevent tooth decay in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limit sweets. Sweets every once in a while is just fine as let\u2019s be honest, no one can resist them always! But it\u2019s best to limit these sweet treats as they help bacteria to grow and can lead to tooth decay.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper brushing technique. Brush with a fluoride toothpaste and use only a pea-sized amount. Learn more about <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/redapple.wpengine.com\/patient-resources\/articles\/how-to-brush-your-teeth\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proper brushing techniques<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the dentist regularly. It\u2019s best to visit the dentist twice a year to make sure your child doesn\u2019t have cavities or tooth decay. Once the back molars grow in, Dr. Payam will probably recommend applying <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/redapple.wpengine.com\/patient-resources\/articles\/what-are-dental-sealants\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dental sealants<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help even more in cavity prevention.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that your child\u2019s teeth will fall out doesn\u2019t mean that you can ignore problems like tooth decay. If the decay is severe enough, it can damage the permanent teeth underneath. This is also the prime time to lay down the groundwork for good dental hygiene that your child will carry with them for the rest of their life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baby Bottle Tooth Decay<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cavities in toddlers and infants are known as Baby Bottle Tooth Decay. These cavities can prevent children from having strong teeth to chew their food with, and can also cause tooth pain or sensitivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Causes Baby Bottle Tooth Decay<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baby Bottle Tooth Decay is most common in a child\u2019s upper teeth, particularly in the front. However, it is possible in other places as well. These cavities can be caused by a number of things, most common of which is overexposure to sugary drinks. If a baby is usually put down for bed with a bottle in its mouth, or a bottle is commonly used to quiet a fussy baby, they are likely to get cavities in those front upper teeth, hence the name. Cavity-causing bacteria can also be passed from the mother to the baby through bacteria in the mother\u2019s saliva. The bacteria slowly wear away at a baby\u2019s teeth, causing decay in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevention<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, there are several ways to prevent your baby from having Baby Bottle Tooth Decay. First and foremost, it is vital to avoid passing bacteria to the baby. Do not lick your child\u2019s spoons or put anything in your mouth that will later go into your baby\u2019s mouth. You can also use a washcloth to wipe any baby food or milk from your baby\u2019s gums after feeding. Once their baby teeth start to come in, use a baby toothbrush to gently brush your baby\u2019s teeth, using a dab of fluoride toothpaste. After the age of 3, you can start using slightly more toothpaste, about the size of a pea. Use bottles for milk or formula only. If you put your child to bed with a bottle, it is especially important to avoid filling it with juice, soda, or any other sugary drink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baby Bottle Tooth Decay can be painful and prevent children from having strong, healthy teeth. These cavities can be caused by many things, such as sugary drinks and shared saliva. Thankfully, it is completely preventable by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redapplepediatricdentalteam.com\/patient-resources\/articles\/how-to-brush-your-teeth\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brushing your child\u2019s teeth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with fluoride toothpaste often, and teaching your child <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redapplepediatricdentalteam.com\/patient-resources\/articles\/tooth-tips-for-tots\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthy dental habits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> once they are old enough to brush their teeth by themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teeth Grinding<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grinding teeth is another habit that children form that is usually broken at an early age. \u00a0Like thumb sucking, if it continues into later years, some damages can occur. A couple of results of teeth grinding are chipped teeth or worn down enamel which could be problematic. \u00a0Most often though your child will stop grinding their teeth before problems present themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though some children may grind or clench their teeth while awake, bruxism is often an issue when children sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bruxism\u2014gnashing, grinding, or clenching of teeth\u2014is common among children. In fact, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bruxism.org.uk\/children-and-bruxism.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">twenty to thirty percent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of all children experience it. Bruxism is a big part of what <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redapplepediatricdentalteam.com\/services\/pediatric-dentistry\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pediatric dentists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> help children with. Though some children may grind or clench their teeth while awake, bruxism is often an issue when children sleep. Children may not be aware of it unless someone hears them doing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Possible Causes<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your child experiences bruxism, especially while sleeping, it may be the result of anxiety, stress, hyperactivity, or how the upper and lower teeth contact each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Look For<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your child occasionally while they sleep to listen and watch for indications of grinding, gnashing, or clenching. Ask your child if he or she is having headaches, earaches or a sore jaw. Ask if your child is experiencing pain when chewing. They may also be tired from a lack of sufficient sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What You Should Do<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, bruxism is minor, and children eventually outgrow it without it having long-term effects on their health. Over a long period, however, bruxism can lead to other issues including teeth enamel loss or sleep disorders such as apnea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your child experiences bruxism, and you suspect it is stress-related, talk to him or her about what may be causing the stress. Then plan how to relieve that stress or hyperactivity before bedtime. Consider, for example, playing soothing music, reading a book, or having your child take a warm shower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that doesn\u2019t help, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redapplepediatricdentalteam.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consult your pediatric dentist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for an accurate diagnosis. There may be a simple reason, such as poorly-aligned teeth. It is not unusual for children to require a custom-fitted mouthguard which can prevent cracking, breaking, or premature teeth wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleft Lip &amp; Palate<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both cleft lip and palate are orofacial birth defects in which a baby is born with an opening in the roof of the mouth and\/or the lip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cleft lip can occur between the fourth and seventh weeks of pregnancy and is caused when the normal joining of the lip and facial tissue does not completely close. The result can be a small unclosed slit or a large opening traveling from the lip to the nose \u2013 and is most common in boys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cleft palate occurs when the tissue that forms the roof of the mouth does not completely join, leaving an opening in the front and\/or back mouth palate. This defect usually occurs between the sixth and ninth weeks of pregnancy and is more common in girls. Both cleft lip and cleft palate can be successfully treated by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redapplepediatricdentalteam.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">skilled pediatric dental professionals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or plastic surgeons. Follow-up treatment to improve the child\u2019s speaking and eating abilities and to treat any other ear, nose and throat conditions are common.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The direct cause of these birth defects are still unknown \u2013 even though each year over 2500 babies <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/ncbddd\/birthdefects\/cleftlip.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are born with<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a cleft palate and over 4,400 with a cleft lip (with or without cleft palate). \u00a0Both of these oral and\/or facial defects could be caused by various reasons, including a mother who smokes during pregnancy, women who take certain medications, or those diagnosed with diabetes prior to pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleft lip and palate repair will vary depending on the child\u2019s specific needs, but are geared towards closing and rebuilding the mouth separation along with additional surgeries to improve appearance. Like many birth defects, the risk factors and methods to prevent and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redapplepediatricdentalteam.com\/services\/pediatric-dentistry\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">treat these childhood issues <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are continually researched to shed light on increasing the national rates for a healthy pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensitive Teeth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a child has sensitive teeth, they can experience pain with extreme temperature changes. \u00a0Tooth sensitivity can occur as a result of a new tooth coming in, a cavity forming, or improper brushing techniques. \u00a0Regular visits to the pediatric dentist are key in helping prevent tooth sensitivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For these reasons and many others, your child should be visiting a pediatric dentist on a regular basis. \u00a0Unlike a regular dentist, we specialize in just for kids dentistry. Dr. Payam has the best skills to take care of your child\u2019s teeth. \u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redapplepediatricdentalteam.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule an appointment today!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are issues just for kids dentistry; certain dental problems that children face that adults do not.
