Care for teeth should start right from the breastfeeding period

Care for teeth should start right from the breastfeeding period

The patient looks for the orthodontist when he realizes that something is wrong with your mouth or your face. Normally, the mess is already in place and the patient comes in search of a miracle to solve the problem. The orthodontist then makes a diagnosis of the situation presented, uses up his magic tricks and fixes the position of the teeth.

In the office, I have adopted an unconventional investigative practice many times and I ask patients to bring pictures of their faces in different stages of life, from when they were babies to adolescence. By analyzing this book and the story told by the patient, I can identify the probable epoch and cause that led to growth and development to take a shortcut and not the predetermined right path.

If we take into account my informal surveys, we have a prevalence more than 70% of the problems still occurring during the milk teething phase. Without proper intervention, they perpetuate themselves and become even worse in permanent dentition, a time when parents often run to the orthodontist.

Malocclusion is one of the most prevalent oral health problems.

I also see that in 90% of cases, parents take their children to the pediatric dentist for fear of their children developing some caries. The good news is that caries has ceased to be the biggest problem seen in offices, which is understandable due to the presence of fluoride in the water supply, salt and other foods. The bad news is that it will most likely be too late to prevent the installation of the modern villain: malocclusion.

For those who do not know it yet, here is their presentation: malocclusion is one of the problems of oral health most prevalent today. It is rarely found in prehistoric findings. Studies show that they are phenomena of modern, predominantly urban civilizations.

Part of the problem or about 40% of it is inherited or genetic factors. The other 60% by acquired or environmental factors. If these functions are wrong, the system works wrong and grows unbalanced.

The whole problem starts with breast-feeding. Modern mothers have stopped breastfeeding their children for a sufficient period of time. According to the World Health Organization and other competent bodies, it should be exclusive until the age of six months and extended to two years or more. The reasons for reducing this time vary according to cultural, economic and even practical issues, since the bottle and pacifier have become nutritional and emotional substitutes.

At this moment, mothers determine how the child's face will develop. The newborn who is fed to the breast until the first year of life has a forward chin forward (the chin is normal up to this age to facilitate passage through the birth canal) and establishes a normal breathing pattern. If you are fed in whole or in part with a bottle, you may have part or all of the position of the chin to be corrected and may or may not be a mouth-breathing device.

When your child breathes through his mouth, his development may be impaired. The air inspired by the mouth does not undergo the process of filtering, warming and moistening, leaving the respiratory system more vulnerable to respiratory diseases in general.

When the child breathes through their mouths, their development may be compromised.

When the child breathes through the mouth, it may be impaired.Breastfeeding also causes muscle fatigue by the effort made during the act of sucking. If the child is not breastfed, he will not have done the necessary and correct muscle work, and it is precisely the lack of that fatigue that he sucks sucking his finger or other objects.

Sucking habits of pacifiers, bottle and fingers they produce permanent undesirable effects, and the delayed correction is very difficult because the muscular development as a whole has already been altered.

As if that were not enough, the child who did not perform the breastmilk milking will have the chewing muscles undeveloped and , thus, will demonstrate resistance in accepting hard foods in your diet. However, mastication is also a function, so that masticatory impulses and stimuli will eventually be supplied through habits such as nail gnats and bruxism.

As we can see, monitoring in the milk dentition is the real prevention of malocclusion. Proper guidance at this time can save a mouth for a lifetime, so the newborn should be taken to a pediatric dentist with the same naturalness and regularity as the pediatrician.

Child dentistry throughout its excellence, that is, with a special focus on the preventive scope, implies, undoubtedly, not only to diagnose or intervene early on malocclusions, but, above all, to guide, support and promote breastfeeding. ideal treatment is not based on discovering the quickest and most expensive orthodontic technique, but on eliminating obstacles that are disturbing the child's normal development.
