Good teeth, or good dentures, are essential for comfortable speech and eating. Lots of people have come to assume that bright white teeth are the only good teeth – Not so. Teeth are naturally off-white to cream. You can spot an American abroad by their falsely white teeth.
Children’s milk teeth are replaced by their adult teeth from about 8 years old. The final adult teeth, the wisdom teeth, may appear 10 years later, or may only partially erupt from their gums. Anyhow, good teeth habits need to start early. These basically, include brushing teeth, cutting down on sweet foods, and visiting the dentist regularly.
Dentist’s visits are no longer the source of fear for children that they were for their parents or grandparents. Dentists are generally pleasant professionals. They try their hardest to make their surgery pleasant and relaxing, especially for children.
A large percentage of 11-year-old children already have fillings in their teeth. These fillings have a life of 5-10 years, so these individuals will be visiting the dentist regularly for life. Some children have no fillings whatsoever, and this is not because their parents are any more successful in teaching dental hygiene, but despite this, and no matter their age, people commonly eat chocolate and sweets like there is no tomorrow, and the thin enamel on their teeth requires professional care to complement their everyday brushing.
The orthodontist and dental braces are feared by parents and children alike. The “Jaws” appearance of some braces leads children to fear name-calling and loss of opportunity with the opposite sex. Parents worry about the cost of all that metalwork.
