children can eat sugar?children are born with a preference for sweets, and sugar is one of the basic nutrients of human beings. Sugar is divided into fructose, sucrose and polysaccharose components, candy is mostly sugar, and food staples such as bread, rice and other starchy foods belong to polysaccharies, and the strongest caries are sucrose.fact, if your child's weight is normal and his body and teeth are healthy, eating candy won't have too many negative effects on the body. However, some children are thin, eating sugar will affect appetite, delay eating, it is not recommended to eat sugar before meals.

sugar will lead to tooth decay?the occurrence of rickets is not caused by a single factor, the classic theory is a four-way factor or a triple factor. The four factors that cause caries are microbes, food, hosts, and time. Rickets are defined as
"
", a plaque-induced chronic infectious disease
"
. Among them, bacteria play the greatest role.from a food perspective, pure sugar sources include carbonated drinks, cookies, cakes, sweets, cereals, potato chips, french fries, cornflakes, crisps, bread, juices and fruits. In fact, not only sugary foods, all foods are necessary to cause rickets and plaque, that is, long-term adhesion to the plaque and bacterial action to produce acid. Therefore, the source of food that causes caries is not only the sugar content, including some sticky foods, carbohydrates, beverages, etc. as long as the surface of the teeth adhered to the surface is not cleaned, are prone to causing rickets tendency.3,
how to keep children's teeth healthy?for children's health, eating a balanced diet always comes first. Sweetener foods, including sweeteners, are not nutritionally necessary, but banning children from eating them is not avoidable at all. Therefore, the recommended principle of eating sugar should be timed quantitative, such as the provision of a week to eat once, eat twice, each time concentrated eat, eat on brushing teeth, not the child wants to eat. Because including candy, sweet food, beverages and other foods at any time to eat it is difficult to clean in a timely manner, which may induce tooth decay.addition to sweets, night milk is also a particularly serious cause of rickets. After drinking milk do not brush teeth, the child's oral environment at night is closed environment, the duration is particularly long, easy to cause tooth decay. Therefore, even breast-feeding can not be completely unlimited number of times, there should be a certain regularity, to ensure that early and late brushing teeth, brushing teeth can not be unlimited after eating.addition, the habit of developing children's brushing teeth is best starting from the teeth, every six months or so to the hospital to check for abnormal conditions. The sooner this habit is developed, the better, from six months to about four or five years old, children need parents to help brush their teeth, because young children's fingers fine function is poor, brushing their own teeth may not brush clean.4

caries have a high age period?Previous studies have found that some of the high incidence periods of caries, such as three or four years of age is the high incidence of milk caries, six or seven years of age is the high incidence of teeth of six years of age, but now there is an early trend in such cases. From the daily patients, one to two-year-old children suffering from rampant disease is particularly many cases, almost all mouth teeth are decayed, which is related to night milk, eating habits do not pay attention to have a lot to do.
