Anunciamos nuestra nueva página web: La nutrición para tener dientes saludables

¿Sabía usted que a pesar de que todavía no puede verlos, los dientes de un bebé están casi totalmente formados en el momento de nacer? ¡Incluso los dientes permanentes de un bebé comienzan a formarse al mismo tiempo! Esto quiere decir que a pesar de que no los pueda ver todavía, es muy importante alimentar a su niño con comidas saludables que ayudarán a que los dientes crezcan y sean fuertes.  Y a pesar de que su pequeño perderá los dientes de leche, sigue siendo importante cuidarlos igual que como cuidaría a los dientes adultos permanentes.

Announcing Our New Web Page: Nutrition for Healthy Teeth

Did you know that even though you can't see them yet, a baby's teeth are almost completely formed at birth? Even a baby's permanent teeth are starting to form at the same time! This means that even though you might not be able to see them yet, it is very important to feed your child healthy foods that will help keep teeth growing strong.  And even though your young child will lose her baby teeth, it is still very important to take good care of them like you would care for her permanent adult teeth.

Desde practicar deportes, a jugar con las manos con sus hermanos, muchos niños sufren traumas en sus dientes. Muchas lesiones dentales se relacionan con los deportes, generalmente el baloncesto y el béisbol. Asegurarse de que su niño usa un protector bucal, casco y protector de la cara durante actividades deportivas es una manera importante de prevenir que ocurra el trauma dental. Se recomienda el uso de protectores bucales personalizados disponibles a través de su dentista.  Los protectores comunes están disponibles en la mayoría de las farmacias sin receta.

From playing sports, to roughhousing with their siblings, many children suffer trauma to their teeth. Many dental injuries are sports-related, most commonly due to basketball or baseball. Making sure your child wears a mouth guard, helmet, and face guard during sports activities is an important way of preventing dental trauma from happening in the first place! Custom mouth guards are recommended and available through your dentist. Generic mouthguards are available over the counter at most drug stores.
