Just as the normal growth and development of a baby is important, so is the normal formation and development of its teeth.  The child develops 20 primary teeth by the age of three.  And permanent teeth begin to grow from the age of six.  By the age of 13, all permanent teeth have grown.


 Tuberculosis is very harmful for the proper formation of baby teeth.  Studies have shown that about 15 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 6 have tooth decay in one or more primary teeth.  About 10 percent of children between the ages of 12 and 15 also have permanent tooth decay.  If proper care is not taken of the teeth, food particles accumulate and this tuberculosis is caused by a bacterial infection.


 Dental caries, which occurs in childhood, can lead to tooth decay if left untreated, and inflammation can spread to the marrow.  It causes severe pain.  The infection causes pus to form in the jaw bone.  There are some warning signs to understand whether the infection is spreading from the tooth decay area.  E.g.


 Fever


 ● Fast heartbeat or rapid breathing


 ধরা Tension in the jaw muscles of the mouth


 Saliva dripping from the tongue and oral cavity


 Problems with talking, swallowing and breathing


 Dehydration and low blood pressure


 Swelling around the eyes, swelling of the glands and proliferation of white blood cells etc.


Remedy and prevention


 If the child has dental caries, he should go to the dentist without delay.


 ● Brush your teeth daily with fluoridated toothpaste to prevent tooth decay.


 Do not let the child drink sweet drinks.  Do not give milk or water to small children in feeders or bottles.  If the child has to drink sweet drinks, it should be given only during the main meal of the day.  However, you should never drink more than six ounces of sweet drinks a day.  It is better to brush after drinking such drinks.


Most children under the age of 6 cannot brush their teeth properly on their own.  So help them with oral care and tooth brushing.
