We use the latest in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.normansmilecenter.com\/dental-treatments\/dental-sealants\">dental sealant<\/a>&nbsp;technology to protect your child\u2019s teeth.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.normansmilecenter.com\/dental-treatments\/dental-sealants\">Dental sealants<\/a>&nbsp;are space-age plastics that are bonded to the chewing surfaces of decay-prone back teeth. This is just one of the ways we will set the foundation for your child\u2019s lifetime of good oral health.<\/p>\n<h2>Cavity prevention for kids<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Most of the time cavities are due to a diet high in sugary foods and a lack of brushing.<\/strong>&nbsp;Limiting sugar intake and brushing regularly, of course, can help. The longer it takes your child to chew their food and the longer the residue stays on their teeth, the greater the chances of getting cavities.<\/p>\n<p>Every time someone eats, an acid reaction occurs inside their mouth as the bacteria digests the sugars. This reaction lasts approximately 20 minutes. During this time the acid environment can destroy the tooth structure, eventually leading to cavities.<\/p>\n<p>Consistency of a person\u2019s saliva also makes a difference; thinner saliva breaks up and washes away food more quickly. When a person eats diets high in carbohydrates and sugars they tend to have thicker saliva, which in turn allows more of the acid-producing bacteria that can cause cavities.<\/p>\n<p>The first baby teeth that come into the mouth are the two bottom front teeth. You will notice this when your baby is about 6-8 months old. Next to follow will be the 4 upper front teeth and the remainder of your baby\u2019s teeth will appear periodically. They will usually appear in pairs along the sides of the jaw until the child is about 2 1\/2 years old.<\/p>\n<p>At around 2 1\/2 years old your child should have all 20 teeth. Between the ages of 5 and 6 the first permanent teeth will begin to erupt. Some of the permanent teeth replace baby teeth and some don\u2019t. Don\u2019t worry if some teeth are a few months early or late as all children are different.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baby teeth are important as they not only hold space for permanent teeth but they are important to chewing, biting, speech and appearance. For this reason it is important to maintain a healthy diet and daily hygiene.
