Baba Ma Ma people pay special attention to their babies' physical health, but often neglect their dental care. After the baby's teeth grow intact, they rush towards foodies, getting farther and farther away, stuffing everything they want into their mouths. Over time, they end up with cavities in their big white teeth. Therefore, Baba Ma Ma needs to be careful! What are the foods that can cause tooth decay in babies?
Yogurt drinks
Yogurt contains lactic acid bacteria, and if consumed in large quantities without rinsing the mouth in a timely manner, it can easily cause decalcification and dissolution of the enamel surface of teeth, leading to dental caries. Moreover, teeth have a low tolerance to acid, and when the pH value in the oral cavity is high, it can corrode the enamel on the surface of the teeth and form dental caries.
Carbonated beverages
Carbonated beverages and other beverages contain sweeteners, sugar, and carbon dioxide, making them acidic. In acidic environments, it is easy to corrode teeth and form dental caries. Bacteria and pigments in beverages can deposit on the surface of teeth, causing them to turn yellow and black.
Sugar containing foods
Typical foods among them are candy, cake, etc. These high sugar foods have strong stickiness and are prone to sticking to the surface and gaps of teeth, fermenting and producing acid, ultimately corroding tooth enamel. Dental plaque is more likely to cause teeth to turn black and yellow, leading to tooth decay. Although almost every child likes to eat desserts, parents should play the role of guardians and not let their children eat too many sweets.
Processed fine food
When babies eat processed food, they do not need to chew much, and their saliva secretion is less, which reduces the degree of cleaning and wiping of their teeth.
To protect children's teeth, we should start with their baby teeth, cultivate good brushing and rinsing habits from an early age, arrange regular dental checkups for children, eat less food that is harmful to their teeth, and grow strong white teeth properly!
