SPECIALIST’S ROSTRUM

Lately, many children are suffering from dental ailments. Experts say that children's dental illnesses, especially the appearance of black spots on their teeth, and the emergence of caries are rising. When you ask mothers "Why did your child’s teeth look black?" they answer "Maybe it is because of ecology, I do not know, it's getting darker,"  negatively. But most of us do not know if we think this is insignificant - dental diseases can later lead to other diseases in the body.

    We asked questions about dental diseases and their causes a dental surgeon of Andijan children’s regional dental clinic Abdumutal Akhmedov.

    - In recent years, not only adults, but also many children suffer from dental diseases. Tell us, what are the causes of dental diseases in children?

    - One of the peculiarities of dental diseases is that it quickly absorbs the teeth for several months or even years. Therefore, most people ignore the initial period of dental diseases. Today, karies are particularly widespread among children. 80-85% of children aged six to seven have this disease.

    - Parents think that caries are caused by malnutrition and sweets. Is it really so?

    - This is just one of the factors causing the disease. There are so many reasons for the caries. Children may develop dental ailments when developing in the stomach of the mother. In the second half of fetal development, the mineralization of milk teeth occurs. If breastfeeding is healthier and systematic, no later illnesses may occur in the milk teeth after birth. If the mother's toxicosis is severe, if the child is born poorly, if the child is injured, and if there are rickets, dyspepsia, then there will be a tendency for dental diseases. Also, mother's infectious disease during pregnancy and its inattention will eventually lead to the infection of the baby's teeth. Also, the artificial feeding of the child, the ecologically unhealthy environment (water and air pollution) are also factors that call for caries. At present, 20-30% of children aged one and a half, two or more children from three years of age, die in caries at 50-60%.

    In addition, the increase in saliva stickiness, the use of certain group teeth (i.e. chewing only on one side), as well as the removal of the caries from the oral hygiene.

    If you treat the caries in a timely manner, you can prevent it from getting bigger. This disease first appears on the surface, then turns into a medium stage, then deep crust, and then begins to pain.

    - What other dental diseases are observed in children other than caries?

    - The fetus may develop hypoplasia due to salt and water metabolism in the mother or child's body during the development of the tissue. Although this disease has just begun before the baby is born, it is only known that the milk teeth come out. In the hypoplasia, the teeth appear in the teeth, the pitches, or the aplasia (the absence of processing). If the mother is alert, the child is aware of these shortcomings in the teeth and comes to the doctor. But many also ignore it.

    There is also a case of fluorescence. This disease is characterized by the appearance of white stripes in the teeth. It appears when the water content exceeds the amount of F (fluorine).

    Though it is not very common, there are also teethratsiklin's teeth. If the mother has received tetracycline during pregnancy, the teeth of the baby will later develop yellow spots and gradually disappear.

    In general, proper nutrition for a pregnant woman, consultation with experts, and taking the right amount of treatment at the right time is essential to the overall well-being of the child. Therefore, during pregnancy, if a woman pays a great attention to the health of herself and her future child, she will then prevent future illnesses.
