The German “Kindergesundheit-Info.de” portal emphasized the necessity of protecting baby teeth from decay. Because if they have cavities, the risk of permanent teeth being affected also increases.
The portal concerned with children’s health explained that baby teeth can be protected from decay by following a low-sugar diet. Both sugar and plaque create a suitable environment for the rapid growth and reproduction of cavity-causing bacteria.
Therefore, you should avoid sugary drinks, fruit juices, and sweets, or at the very least reduce them, as well as hidden sugars such as those found in ketchup or ready-made meals.
It is also important to take good care of baby teeth, by cleaning them with a toothbrush and toothpaste designed for children.
