Tooth decay is when a child's teeth isnt clean for whatever reason and the bacterias living in the mouth of the child produces an acid that attacks the enamel of the teeth thereby causing holes to be on the tooth's surface. It is indeed a very bad issue and causes bad breath, low self-esteem and other bad detriments.

CAUSES OF TOOTH DECAY

It is important that kids know what causes tooth decay and ways on preventing them.

• Not Brushing;

Not brushing the teeth regularly can bring tooth decay as the teeth needs to be refreshed daily. As the body needs bath, so does the teeth need brushing. Kids eat alot of meals and forget to brush. They skip their brushing hours early in the morning and think its going no where, as soon as they realise, it becomes very late and by then the teeth develops holes where it begins to decay.

• Too much sugary drinks

Too much of sugar is not really good for the gum as it aids in tooth decay. As far as some bacterias in the mouth are concerned, they can combine with sugars and starch being taken in ti form a substance called PLAQUE this help in forming acid which causes tooth decay.

PEOPLE VULNERABLE

Those vulnerable to this are the older people, toddlers or new born babies, children that have little saliva in their mouth (a diseased condition) and those that dont have strong enamels

PREVENTION

Prevention isnt a small task. It requires plenty of seld discipline. They include;

1. Always brush 2 times a day, morning and night before sleeping. Also get a good tooth paste and brush. There are electric brushes and sugar free gums too use them.

2. For those that have damaged enamels or tooth decay already, go see a dentist.

3. Eat much of fluoride containing foods. This is anothet way to help fight tooth decay.. That is what is composed in a toothpaste and it helps to supplement tooth paste in the fight.
