Having sweets for children is really bad for teeth? Maybe. If not sufficient oral care. If don't take sweets will that make their childhood less interesting?
My 7 years old Hannah just got her front bottom tooth extracted. Reason - the permanent (adult) tooth is growing. I took her to dentist this morning. She was given jab around the tooth. After a few minutes, dentist extracted the tooth. The tooth was firmly rooted. Dentist got to change position after failing pulling out the first time.
Few days ago Hannah complained teeth pain but actual fact another tooth is cutting her gums trying to grow. After that she refused to open her mouth to show me. Then when we finally got to see her teeth, I was very concern. Baby tooth is not loose and not shaking at all. The new tooth is double the length of her milk tooth. So how? No choice go dentist lor. Next question - gotto extract two???
Anyway extracted only one. The new tooth has grown too much to the left. Dentist is afraid that if extract two teeth out it will move further left.
Hannah doesn't take sweets. She learned in kindy during one of the dental care classes that eating sweets will make teeth turn black and drop.
Well she has great respect towards teachers and doctors. Whatever they say is true. She just listens and obey.
So she has strong baby teeth!
