Bruxism is one of the most common diseases of the 21st century and is caused by clenching or sliding teeth together, causing wear and sometimes even fractures of the teeth unconsciously. One of the main causes of bruxism is stress. In children, it is not considered a pathology, because it usually disappears when they reach adolescence. This habit is a way of stimulating teeth and promoting bone and muscle formation in the face, and usually decreases when the permanent teeth erupt. Bruxism can be solved with a night guard.

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.
