Our experts introduced the methods of care for baby teeth to moms and dads. In fact, dental care is not just about oral hygiene. Nutrition is also very important. When you grow your teeth, add the necessary "solid tooth food" to your baby and help your baby to have a nice, strong, small tooth.
Small teeth also need nutrition! !
As the saying goes, teeth are good and appetite is good. For small babies, eating well is good for teeth. Although the development of deciduous teeth is not the same as the development of systemic tissues and organs, deciduous teeth, like them, also require various nutrients during their growth. For example, calcium and phosphorus in minerals, and other effects such as magnesium, fluoride, and protein are all essential; Vitamins a, c, and d are the most important vitamins.
Let us take a look at the role of these nutrients for baby teeth.
Nutrients and tooth health
We first talk about calcium and phosphorus minerals, lack of them, small teeth will grow little, poor hardness, easy to break; and the right amount of fluoride can increase the hardness of deciduous teeth, free from corrosion, not easy to caries.
Protein is the main structural component of the cell. If the protein intake is insufficient, it will cause the teeth to be misaligned, the tooth eruption time delay and periodontal tissue lesions, and it will easily lead to the occurrence of dental caries.
Vitamin A can maintain the integrity of the epithelial cells of the body. If it is less, it will make the epithelial cells hyperkeratotic and cause the baby to delay teething. When the vitamin A deficiency affects the development of the enamel cells, it will make the color of the teeth become chalk. color.
The lack of vitamin C can cause tooth dysplasia, tooth bone atrophy, and gums edema "bleeding."
The role of vitamin d is to increase the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestine and promote calcium and phosphorus deposition on the tooth germ. If there is a lack of teeth, the teeth will be delayed, the teeth will be small and the distance between teeth will be thin.

Nutrients
Solid tooth foods and their effects
calcium
Shrimp, bones, kelp, seaweed, fish sauce, egg yolk, milk and dairy products
Calcium is the main ingredient that makes up the teeth. With less of it, small teeth will grow little.
phosphorus
Phosphorus is widely distributed in food, meat, fish, milk, beans, grains, and vegetables
Phosphorus can make small deciduous teeth indestructible.
fluorine
Marine fish, tea, honey
Chewing fluoride-rich foods just like brushing teeth with fluoride toothpaste can prevent bacteria from attacking the teeth with acid, inhibit enzymes in the bacteria and hinder the growth of bacteria.
protein
The proteins contained in various animal foods (such as meat, fish, eggs, etc.) and milk and dairy products are high quality proteins. The quality of protein contained in legumes (especially soybeans) is more in plant foods.
It also plays an important role in the formation, development, calcification, and eruption of teeth.
Vitamin A
Cod liver oil preparation, fresh vegetables
Can maintain the health of gum tissue
Vitamin c
Fresh fruits like orange, grapefruit, kiwi, fresh jujube
Enamel formation requires vitamin C
Vitamin d
Cod liver oil preparations, in addition, sunlight exposure to the skin can make vitamin d in vivo.
Lack of vitamin d can cause baby teeth hypoplasia and poor calcification.
Prepare for rainy days
In the last trimester of pregnancy, the baby's deciduous embryos have begun to form gradually. Pregnant mothers should be able to supplement additional calcium preparations every day to “fight†their teeth for future babies.
After birth, the baby is mainly fed with breast milk and formula milk within the first 4 months, but after 4 months, breast milk or formula milk can not meet the needs of the baby's growth and development. At this time, the mother needs to supplement the baby with necessary food supplements. These nutritious food supplements not only provide the nutrients necessary for your baby's growth and development, but also promote the eruption of your baby's deciduous teeth.
