90% of schoolchildren have cavities due to poor hygiene
Excessive consumption of sweets promotes tooth decay and dental plaque
90% of adolescents and children have cavities due to the consumption of foods high in sugar as well as colorants. Sodas, candies, chocolates or potatoes are some of the products that children consume and generate considerable damage in the mouths of Mexicans, according to the specialists of La Clínica Dental.
In this back to school season it is very important to protect the nutrition of children and adolescents, there is a new way of living due to the pandemic that is going through worldwide, but today more than ever it is important to reinforce and promote good habits of cleanliness and nutrition.
A different back to school
In August, the back to school will be held virtually so that students do not put their health at risk when attending an educational institution. This is intended to avoid or reduce the possibility of contracting the coronavirus disease that results from contracting the Covid-19 virus.
Far from being good, it can be counterproductive, since the specialists at La Clínica Dental affirm that not having a routine of waking up, standing up, bathing, having breakfast, brushing your teeth and leaving the house for school can lead to less frequent dental cleaning at home, increase the consumption of foods high in sugar and coloring and cause serious consequences.
It is important to establish schedules
In the case of children it is important that parents create and promote a routine at home, where the child has established schedules for all school and personal activities, including of course oral hygiene 3 times a day, to know the correct way to do it, it is important to go to the specialists of La Clínica Dental.
It is the responsibility of parents to take care of what their children consume, so it is highly recommended to make a nutrition plan that they can carry out even in their online classes and not affect their dental health, for this it is also very important to attend the Dental Clinic, where they are taking all precautionary measures and specialists will guide patients to have proper hygiene and use of instruments to achieve it.
Being in confinement can generate stress and depression in all members of the family. It is very important not to over-consume sweets, candies or foods that can damage health and teeth.
Specialists recommend
Now that students are at home it is important for them to have smart foods during the day such as:
Healthy snack
This can be a sandwich with whole wheat bread, turkey ham, a little panela or Oaxaca cheese, lettuce, avocado and tomato. It is important to avoid sausages such as sausages or pork cheese because they are high in fat and are porous which helps them to remain stuck to the teeth and these become dirty or damaged if you do not have proper hygiene after consuming them.
Fruits and vegetables
It is recommended that students eat vegetables and fruits on a daily basis, for this it is recommended to have some jicama, carrots, grated cucumber with a little lemon and spicy if you like, as these are nutritious and healthy.
As for fruits, we have some that are very beneficial for the teeth such as apples and pears, these allow us to clean the teeth in a natural way, however, it is important to mention that they do not replace toothbrushing, they only help to prevent food from accumulating on the teeth while we clean them with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Natural water
Sometimes being at home encourages the consumption of sodas containing dyes and sugar, these are very harmful to tooth enamel, it is important that, even if you are at home do not forget to consume natural water constantly.
A little sweet
Finally, children are faithful consumers of sweets, that is why the specialists at La Clinica Dental Boutique recommend giving students gelatin, an amaranth bar, peanut or pepita, a yogurt, etc. These foods are sweet, but not so harmful to the teeth because although they contain sugar it is minimal.
It is very important to transmit to children the importance of keeping their teeth clean. Visiting specialists at La Clinica Dental Boutique for guidance on proper and optimal cleaning techniques is essential.
