Children's cavities...help?

Question

I brush my daughter's teeth twice a day.She uses kiddie mouthwash. She doesn't eat a lot of sweets. Why does she still have bad cavities? And what else could I do to prevent or help them?

Answer 1

does she drink alot of juice or soda pop? This could increase her risk-

Ask your dentist about putting sealants on your child teeth helps to seal out decay-some kids are just more prone to tooth decay. Kids should eat a good diet and limit snacking-when you eat food containing suger or starch the bacteria that produces acids attack tooth enamel. frequent snacking even fruit can cause frequent acid attacks & increase risk for tooth decay-try having her brush even after snack time-if unable to brush rinse with water. Good Luck!!

Answer 2

it is hereditary, sometimes

ask the dentist next time you go.

Answer 3

Soda....NO SODA!

Absolutely!!

No sport drinks, no canned or bottled teas...

Low acid juices only  (no citrus) ...watered  down grape and apple juice only as a treat.

MILK and WATER are best.
