Tooth decay can be avoided with proper education on oral hygiene and nutrition early in life. So, would succeed completely eradicate them from our mouths.
As we said, better treatment for caries is prevention, and we apply it since the first months of life of children.
There are fundamental factors which cavities are formed:
- Bacteria found in the mouth
- Sugars and carbohydrates increase the risk of dental caries. Sticky foods are more harmful than sticky because they remain on the surface of the teeth.
- Susceptibility and bias: if the teeth are properly aligned or is not important as cleaning difficult areas will be more predisposed to decay and easy to clean areas.
Some of the important factors for a good brushing is the choice of an appropriate toothbrush. If we choose a hard brush, too large or uncomfortable for the child, the toilet will be incomplete and the possibility of having caries teeth or spots increase.
For a correct choice of toothbrush is important to consider the following tips.

Elche’s teeth are important because they are keeping the final location and teeth that will come later, besides providing the appropriate form to the structure of the face, also allow a correct development of muscles in that area and correct pronunciation speech.
