Children's Teeth Care

Statistics show that 90% of children in Vietnam are facing dental issues, with over 85% of children aged 6-8 suffering from tooth decay.

Dental problems in children are not limited to cavities but also lead to other conditions such as gum inflammation and pulpitis.

According to our dentists at Home Dental – 30 Triệu Việt Vương, several direct causes of tooth decay in children are:

  • Sugar-containing foods and drinks are the leading cause of tooth decay in children. Foods like sticky candies, potato chips, and certain snacks can contribute to plaque buildup.
  • Improper oral hygiene.
  • Weak immune system and poor calcium absorption, leading to weaker teeth that are more susceptible to bacterial attack.
  • Saliva helps protect against plaque and bacteria in the mouth. If salivary glands are affected, the risk of tooth decay increases.

Dental Filling for Children:

Many parents mistakenly believe that filling milk teeth is unnecessary since they will eventually be replaced by permanent teeth.

However, this is a misunderstanding and can lead to negative effects on your child’s health. Dr. Nguyễn Anh Ngọc, Director of Home Dental – 30 Triệu Việt Vương, offers the following advice:

  • Proper care of children’s teeth from the moment the first baby tooth appears is essential for developing both healthy milk teeth and permanent teeth. If your child’s teeth decay and are left untreated, the situation will worsen, causing more pain and potential damage.
  • Filling cavities helps avoid further complications like pulpitis, root infections, and early tooth loss, which could affect the growth of permanent teeth and lead to misalignment. Early tooth loss also affects speech development, making pronunciation unclear.
  • Thus, filling children’s teeth is crucial for maintaining their dental health.

Bad Habits That Affect Your Child’s Jaw Development:

According to statistics, 75% of children experience bite issues and jaw misalignment, often due to bad habits that parents may overlook, such as:

  • Thumb sucking and using a pacifier can cause upper teeth to protrude, leading to gaps between teeth and susceptibility to breakage.
  • Pushing the tongue forward or biting the lower lip can lead to an open bite and protruding upper teeth.
  • Mouth breathing causes dry mouth, increases the risk of tooth decay, and may also lead to misalignment of teeth and jaw.
  • Chin resting doesn’t immediately shift teeth but can have long-term effects.
  • Lip sucking may result in lower jaw protrusion and misalignment.

Orthodontics for Children:

What is the ideal age for children to start braces?

Orthodontics, or braces for children, is a dental service many parents inquire about. The right age to start braces depends on the stage of tooth eruption.

Children’s orthodontics is typically divided into three phases:

Phase 1: When baby teeth start emerging, up to age 5.
Phase 2: Between ages 6-12, the stage of pre-orthodontics. If a child’s teeth show signs of misalignment, it is a good time for a dentist to evaluate and prevent further issues.
Phase 3: From age 13 to 21, when permanent teeth are fully erupted.

Orthodontic Methods at Home Dental – 30 Triệu Việt Vương:

Depending on the age and development of the child’s teeth, several orthodontic options may be suitable:

If the child’s permanent teeth have not fully grown, a trainer can be worn to position the teeth, helping them grow in the right direction, without misalignment, creating conditions for future orthodontic treatment to be shortened.

If the child’s teeth are stable, one of the following two orthodontic methods can be applied:

  • Trainer braces: Used when permanent teeth haven’t fully emerged, to guide teeth in the right direction.
  • Traditional braces: Fixed braces that move teeth into the desired positions.
  • Invisalign: Clear aligners that are more aesthetic and comfortable for children compared to traditional metal braces.
