Taking care of milk teeth 
Causes of cavities in milk teeth
1. The main reason for cavities in milk teeth is eating processed
sugar in large amounts.
2. Consumption of carbonated beverages.
3. Eating a lot of cookies, chocolate and sticky sweets.
4. Not paying attention to breastfeeding.
5. Unbalanced diet, which leads to a lack of iron, calcium and
phosphorus in the child’s body.
6. Not paying attention to cleaning the child’s teeth, and leaving
food particles between the teeth.
Protection against cavities in milk teeth
7. You have to protect your child as much as possible from
consuming hidden sugar such as sucrose (sugar from sugar canes
and sugar beets), glucose or dextrose (grape sugar), lactose (milk
sugar) and fructose (sugar from dried fruits such as raisins).
8. Sugar is less harmful if it is eaten as part of a meal, because fats
help to protect the teeth from the effects of sugar. Saliva also
helps to clean sugar from the surface of the teeth and re-­‐cover
the teeth with enamel.
9. The child should be encouraged to eat healthy meals and to
keep away from sticky sweets such as toffee and caramel, dried
fruits such as raisins, and mint flavored chewing gum, because
that leads to the teeth being exposed to sugar for a longer time
as a result of the viscosity of these foods.
10. We can allow the child to have a small amount of sugar-­‐free
gum because that stimulates production of saliva.
11. Drinking milk and diluted fruit juice instead of fizzy drinks that
contain citric acid, phosphoric acid and other harmful ingredients.
