Gum Disease in Children - Tips For Parents
Chewing gum isn't simply an old-fashioned activity that kids do as they learn to chew their tiny bits of sugar-rich gum. Nowadays, chewing gum has become more than just something a kid does during quiet moments between classes or lunch; instead, it has become an exercise that kids practice throughout the day, regardless of their age. This is due in part to the marketing efforts of different companies, which have worked hard to make gum appealing to children through various campaigns including infomercials, television commercials, gum-flavored gumballs and candy. One of the most popular choices among children is chewing on brands such as Orbitz, Planters' Gift Baskets, and Sharpie.
However, chewing is not the only thing a child should engage in, as chewing also releases acids and bacteria from their mouths, which then cause tooth decay and gum disease. Today, a variety of gums are marketed specifically for this purpose, such as Smart Lock Gum, which prevents a child from biting their tongue and thus hurting their teeth (however, there is still some controversy surrounding whether or not these types of gums actually work and whether or not they could be dangerous). Children also love to chew on toys, which gives them the opportunity to exercise their teeth and mouth at the same time. One popular toy for this purpose is called a Teeth Effect Gum. The product claims that as your child plays with the gum, special sensors located in the gum line up with sensors embedded on the toys your child is playing with, which measures the amount of pressure exerted by your child's teeth on the toy's rubber bands.
If you are looking for a toothpaste for children, be wary of those sold in bottles attached to your children's school desks or of those that include the ingredient "sodium fluoride". Fluoride can be toxic, especially when administered in high doses, so it is best to avoid these products altogether. There are also plenty of natural toothpastes available, such as those containing essential oils like peppermint, which are very effective at cleaning the teeth and gums. These natural toothpastes have no harmful ingredients.
If your child has a favorite cartoon character or TV personality, try giving them a chew toy such as a Dora the Explorer Bracelet. These bracelets have suction cups that adhere to the teeth and gums and will stay put until your child's next meal. As soon as they are finished with their food, they can take the bracelet off to reveal their new toothpaste covered toothbrush. This toothpaste is specially designed for children and is not the kind you would use on your own teeth. It's safe to eat and helps protect teeth and gums.
Be careful of gum flavored sweeteners. These often contain sugars that can be harmful to young children and to pregnant women. Sweet gum can be tempting for young children to pick up, but it is important to teach children the difference between what they can and cannot eat. They should also know that if they chew gum and swallow air bubbles, this can be very dangerous and even deadly. Teeth should always be brushed after eating. This is especially important for children who play indoor playground equipment where there may be a risk of falling.
When it comes to chewing gum, it is crucial to teach your child good dental hygiene habits so that your child will enjoy chewing gum all day and night without consequence. Young children should not be allowed to start biting the gum on their own, because this habit will only get them into trouble. They should be taught how to spit out all the excess saliva and not hold their breath while doing it. Having good dental habits from a very early age will help prepare your child for a bright, healthy life.
