Worried that dental caries is the main reason for parents to limit their children's sugar. Want to have healthy teeth to eat less sugar and so on, is still some misconceptions still exist. Recently,
a large number of foreign study noted that the relationship between the
sugar and the caries is very small, because only a viscosity of healthy
teeth, food, eating spacing and oral hygiene is much more important
role than sugar.
Some
foods have ingredients that inhibit bacterial action at the mouth,
which can protect the teeth from erosion, such as the milk contains
caseinate peptide can inhibit the activity of bacteria, which is why,
despite the milk contains lactose, but the ability to produce dental
caries, other foods, such as cocoa in tannins and licorice licorice acid, both of which can inhibit oral bacteria. In addition, the role of calcium and phosphorus has a patch of tooth enamel.
Fluoride to prevent dental caries has long been applied. Many
developed countries in the past 20 years, greatly reducing tooth decay
is almost entirely the effect of the application of fluoride, especially
toothpaste. Caries-free
rate of developed Western countries has increased in recent years, but
did not reduce the level of sugar consumption. Seems fluoride protection is very important, it can make the enamel more resistant to acid erosion.
The saliva is the most important role protect teeth saliva contains calcium and phosphorus can repair the enamel. But
while everyone was sleeping, do not produce saliva, so before you go to
bed, be sure to clean the mouth, not sleep because of the bacteria in
the mouth.
Currently,
in many countries in Europe, lower dental caries incidence in England
and Wales, although it maintained a high sugar consumption per capita.
So sugar is not terrible, it depends on how you eat:
●
sugar intake to less than 10 kg per person per year, that is, per
person daily intake of 30 grams of sugar, can be maintained at an
acceptable low level of incidence of dental caries. At
present, China's per capita intake of sugar below 7 kg, even
appropriate increase does not necessarily pose a serious threat to be
caries incidence.
Enjoy
the sweet taste of sugar, but also for their own oral health should do
something about the obligation is to pay attention to the oral health of
the individual, it is best to brush your teeth immediately after eating
sweets, at least immediately mouthwash every day fluoride toothpaste to remove plaque is an effective way to prevent tooth decay.
