Northbrook Dentist Shares Tips To Maintain Cavity Free Deciduous Teeth

Northbrook, Illinois based dental clinic Northbrook Dentist Office is reaching out to the wider community to share tips on maintaining cavity free deciduous teeth. The clinic serves Northbrook and the surrounding areas, providing quality dental services at an affordable rate.

Dr. Steven Kacel, lead dentist and spokesperson for Northbrook Dental Office, says, “If you don’t know what deciduous teeth are, it’s basically just baby teeth. These are the first set of teeth that will grow in your child’s mouth, and they stick around until they’re replaced with their set of permanent adult teeth. While these teeth play an essential role in teaching children learn how to properly chew their food, they do have a downside: they are especially prone to cavities due to the fact that they only have a thin layer of enamel covering them.”

According to the practice, the factors that contribute to cavities in children are quite similar to factors which contribute to cavities in adults, and it all boils down to poor oral hygiene. Dr. Kacel says children typically develop cavities because they are not brushing their teeth as often or as thoroughly as they should. Much like with permanent teeth, plaque acids and food particles that remain on the teeth can lead to cavities, but the risk is higher with children.

Dr. Kacel says, “For parents with toddlers, keeping cavities at bay can be very challenging. Of course, there are good places to start: first, make sure that they are not going to bed with a bottle or a sippy cup that contains juice or milk. Both of these contain sugar, which can further boost bacteria production that is already taking place in their mouths. Since these substances will remain on your children’s teeth overnight, they are more likely to cause cavities. However, there are also other steps you can take.”

As Dr. Kacel explains, these other steps include: making sure they brush their teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush twice per day for at least a minimum of two minutes, making sure they use kid-friendly anti-cavity toothpaste, teaching them how to floss in-between teeth and very importantly, scheduling them for regular dental checkups.
