  2. TOOTH DECAY AS A COMMON CHILDHOOD DISEASE: Tooth decay is one of the most prevalent dental conditions among children, and its consequences can have long-lasting repercussions. Untreated decay can result in tooth loss and adverse health effects; cavities affect over 42% of children from ages two through eleven, according to the Centers for Disease Control reports. As such, preventive measures should be implemented against this issue to combat it effectively.

  3. FLUORIDE CAN PREVENT CAVITIES: Cavities may be familiar but preventable. Fluoride plays an essential role in strengthening teeth against decay by reinforcing enamel as an outer protective layer for our teeth. Though fluoride treatments and toothpaste with fluoride content can significantly reduce early stages of tooth decay, its effects cannot repair existing cavities; yet regularly using fluoride could substantially lower the risk among children.

  4. GOING BEYOND CANDY FOR TOOTH DECAY: Although candy may be associated with tooth decay, other starchy snacks like cookies, crackers, and bread may also contribute. Tooth decay is caused by acid-producing bacteria that feed off carbohydrates found in starchy foods; consequently, regular brushing must be practiced after indulging in such snacks to promote optimal oral health.

  5. DENTAL INJURIES IN SPORTS: Engaging in sports increases the risk of dental injuries for children. Collisions between players or hand contact can cause cracked and fractured roots; to protect your young athlete, they must wear appropriate sports gear during activities.
