This is a frequent problem with kids. Cildren are more likely to have new cavities is because their teeth are still developing and are therefore less mineralized than adult teeth. Your kid’s teeth will not be fully developed until their late teenage years. During this period of time you should do the following:
• Observe your child’s brushing making certain that the area where the teeth meet the gums is being brushed well enough to remove all pasty particles. This will prevent decay from forming at the gum line and maintain healthy gums.
• Having your child floss during his favorite TV program is an excellent way to begin this essential habit, or get them a kids WaterFlosser
• Sealants can be applied to all the adult back teeth and will help prevent cavities on the chewing surface.
• You should discuss a regular fluoride program with your dentist. Both in office and at home treatments are available
