Halloween Time is a Fun Time with Children running house to house in hopes of another piece of candy! Dangers of Candy with Developing Teeth In today's times we need to be more aware of what are kids are consuming along with the dangers comes a danger to their developing teeth that are more groovy than that of their parents due to age and use of them for example chewing on pens, pencils, fingernails, ketchup packages and such wears our teeth down over time but with children they are just developing them and they have grooves in the molars called pit & fissures in Dentistry Terms and that is why Dentist recommend Sealants. Cost Of Sealants worth it and most Dental Coverage it under Preventive Care! They cost less than a filling and protect the teeth from little grains of sugar getting imbedded in the grooves. They can last until they are old enough to brush on their own which is about the age of 10 because of their dexterity. Have them do it but, you follow behind and double check. Checking Their work like Homework for us Parents What to check for after they said they brush their teeth? Besides the obvious a wet toothbrush, is to look for a white line along the gum line where the end of the tooth that is visible in the mouth meets the gums if so, they can easily get that off by brushing not just the teeth but also have them brush the gums gently. Doing this will allow the gums to be rid of any white sticky plaque buildup. If gums bleed some while brushing, it only means you're doing something right because, they were inflamed by little particles underneath the gums and the more they brush daily the less blood it will be. All gums should be baby pink. No Insurance No Money for Out-of-Pocket Treatment If unable to get Sealant's for their teeth check with your local School free Dental Check-Ups.
