Caries in children and babies

Caries in children and babies

Early childhood tooth decay is still a problem in society. Even though children’s dental care has already improved significantly through a variety of measures, carious teeth are still widespread in babies and children.

What are the causes of tooth decay in milk teeth?

The enamel thickness of milk teeth is only around half compared to permanent teeth. The bacteria produce on the teeth aggressive acids after eating sugary foods. These dissolve calcium and phosphate from the tooth enamel, which consists of approximately 97% hydroxyapatite. How does caries develop from this? If the bacteria are not cleaned properly and continue to produce acids, the tooth enamel will become increasingly thin and porous. The bacteria can now easily penetrate the tooth and cause inflammation, which also causes pain. Caries (tooth decay) develops in children and toddlers with milk teeth even faster than in adults due to the thinner tooth enamel. Saliva normally ensures that the enamel hardens (remineralises) after eating meals containing sugar. This natural remineralization of the teeth is one of the main tasks of saliva. Because less saliva is produced overnight, it is important to brush children’s teeth thoroughly before going to bed. The risk of tooth decay in milk teeth increases significantly as a result of eating sweets, long suckling on sugary drinks or irregular and unclean brushing of teeth. Parents should therefore pay particular attention to a balanced diet and regular dental care and dental prophylaxis for their child.
