Preventing the window of infection
There are no cavity-causing bacteria in the mouths of newborn babies, but infection with cavity-causing bacteria between the ages of 1 months and 3 years determines the number of cavity-causing bacteria that a baby will have throughout their life.
It is important to prevent infection with tooth decay bacteria between the ages of 1 and 3 years old!
✕ Feeding someone by mouth
In the past, adults would chew food for children so that they would eat it more easily, but this should be avoided as it can lead to infection with tooth decay bacteria carried by adults through saliva.
✕ Use the same tableware
Just as with mouth-to-mouth feeding, there is a risk of infection with adult cavity-causing bacteria through saliva on chopsticks, plates, and other utensils, so we recommend that adults and children use separate eating utensils whenever possible.
Guiding you to the correct bite
It is known that malocclusion is not caused by genetics but by everyday habits. The key is to eliminate the cause and take early action before malocclusion occurs.
What are the habits that cause misalignment of the bite?
Gazing
The tongue and muscles around the mouth are weak, making it difficult to close the mouth except when eating or talking.
Mouth breathing
The tongue and muscles around the mouth are underdeveloped, making it difficult to breathe through the nose.
Bad posture
Having trouble maintaining proper posture while standing, sitting, or sleeping.
If you are concerned about any of the above trends, please consult your dentist during your checkup.
