Tooth decay and prevention methods at school age

Tooth decay is a fairly common disease, common in school age and a matter of concern for many parents. This is a disease in the hard tissues of the teeth, gradually reducing the inorganic and organic substances in the enamel and dentin to form cavities, destroying the structure of the teeth.
Causes of tooth decay The main cause of tooth decay is poor and irregular oral hygiene. In the process of eating, the food particles stuck on the teeth, if not cleaned, will ferment and create conditions for bacteria to grow to attack and form deep holes. Students are the age group who often eat snacks, especially candies and ready-to-eat foods containing a lot of sugar and starch. Most of the time, when they eat these foods, their teeth are not cleaned right away, the food particles left on their teeth become fertile ground for oral bacteria to grow. Most children do not have the habit of checking the condition of their teeth, only when the swelling is painful, the children will notify their parents, then the disease is often severe.
