What type of diet should children follow to avoid tooth decay? To do this, it is very important to know the foods our children consume. We must know the type of carbohydrates our children consume in their diet (food and drinks), their consistency and the frequency of intake; because the frequent consumption of sugar intervenes in the development of tooth decay, by keeping the pH low, the levels of cariogenic bacteria increase and all this, accompanied by poor oral hygiene, leads to the appearance of caries lesions. Opt for fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots and celery. Also cheese, milk, natural yogurt: calcium, phosphates, vitamin D in cheese and other dairy products are important minerals for the health of your teeth. Keep in mind that less cariogenic foods contain unrefined carbohydrates, without added sugar. Their higher fiber content can help remove plaque, but they still have the potential to cause cavities without a good oral care routine.

When should we take our children to the dentist for the first time?
At what age should we take children to the dentist? This is one of the most frequently asked questions that our professionals encounter on a daily basis. At Rbg Clinic we like to work on prevention to ensure oral health from an early age. For this reason, Dr. San Martín advises us to take children to the dentist when they are babies, since, even if they do not have teeth, it is important to know that there may be other pathologies associated with the oral cavity, and to detect them early. The most common problems that child patients present are lesions caused by caries and malocclusion, a poor alignment of the teeth, which can lead to more serious pathologies if not treated in time.
