Around 10 million children in Mexico suffer from tooth decay (UNAM)
The main cause of tooth decay in children is due to lack of hygiene, the second is candy consumption (UNAM dentistry).
In Mexico, in recent years, it has been reported that 10 million children between the ages of two and five suffer from tooth decay. This represents a serious oral health problem at an early age. The cause is not only due to eating sweets, as is commonly thought, but also to the lack of or poor oral hygiene techniques, warned the UNAM.
When the newborn is breastfed, parents assume that it is not important to clean the mouth, since there are no teeth, but this is false.

At the boutique Dental Clinic, pediatric dentistry specialists guide parents of newborns on how to clean the gums of the child after ingesting milk.
“Normally, in newborns, it is recommended that a gauze pad moistened with warm water be wiped over the gum after ingesting milk, thus removing the residue and preventing it from decomposing in the child’s mouth.”
It is important that the pediatric dentist, a specialist in treating children’s teeth, check the child, and in case of finding any anomaly such as natal or neonatal teeth, which is uncommon, but may occur in newborns, guide parents on the alternatives available.
Once the child has teeth, at La Clínica Dental boutique, parents are oriented on the importance of educating children to take care of their teeth and the brushing technique they should teach their children.
The first few times a child is taught to brush his or her teeth, it is very important that parents monitor and help the child to perfect the technique, and supervise that they do it 3 times a day.
Dental education
Children’s health is the parents’ responsibility, that is why it is very important to count on a specialist ally who has all the elements and tools to take care of the child.
In The Boutique Dental Clinic, for example, anesthesia is used in case the child needs to be anesthetized; this allows the treatment to be non-traumatic because the anesthesia needle is ultra-thin and when used it is practically imperceptible.
The culture of prevention is promoted and patients are made aware of the importance of having a check-up and professional cleaning in the dental office every 6 months.
All branches have a specialist for children and a zero caries kids plan, which is focused on children’s dental health, thus reaffirming La Clínica Dental boutique ‘s commitment to each patient on dental care and health from an early age.[i] The dental clinic has a specialist for children and a zero caries kids plan, which is focused on children’s dental health.
