The Importance of Tooth Enamel





The toughest substance in your body isn't your bones its your dental enamel.As the most mineralized substance in your body, tooth enamel is layer upon layer of minerals that protect the inner portions of your teeth from damage and decay. While dental enamel is the strongest substance in your body, it is not invincible. Enamel can erode and break down over time, especially after prolonged exposure to acids and build-up bacteria known as plaque and can be subject to chipping and cracking.It’s important to go to the dentist as soon as possible when you experience tooth pain, as well as get regular checkups so that you can stop enamel problems before they get more serious.

If your dental enamel has small cracks in it, you may experience pain when eating something hot, cold or sugary as these substances are known to affect your tooths nerves. When tooth enamel starts to break down, it is difficult, if not impossible, to grow back. That is why protecting your dental enamel is vital to keeping your teeth healthy and cavity-free. It’s important to have a thorough teeth cleaning to remove built-up bacteria every 6 months.
The enamel on your teeth is very important because it protects teeth from damage and allows you to eat foods without hurting the sensitive dentin and nerves inside your teeth. As long as you take good care of your enamel, your teeth will continue to be protected for years to come.

WHEN SHOULD MY CHILD BEGIN BRUSHING THEIR TEETH?





Oral health is important even before the first tooth erupts. When your child is an infant, gently clean their gums with a warm washcloth after they have a bottle or baby food. As your child gets older, they may want to mimic you and grab for the toothbrush. While it is fine to let them practice, be sure to follow-up and properly clean their teeth for them. You should help your child brush their teeth until they are coordinated enough to tie their own shoe, this is usually around 6 years old.

The amount of toothpaste you use is also important. For a toddler, use only a small amount. About the size of a grain of rice. For slightly older children, toothpaste should be the size of a pea.
Even after your child is old enough to brush their teeth on their own, be sure to continue monitoring them. Make sure they brush for the full 2 minutes. Children may also need help flossing their teeth. If the long strings of floss seem to be too difficult for them to maneuver, opt for an alternative, such as a flossing pick.
