The child drank the wrong drink and his front teeth became \”soaked\”! Brushing your teeth at the wrong time will be more harmful

Mr. Li, a Wuhan citizen, has always believed that drinking more freshly squeezed juice is good for his children\’s health, so he has given his son a glass of fresh juice every day since he was six months old and never allowed him to drink carbonated drinks. Unexpectedly, due to drinking freshly squeezed juice all year round, the outermost protective layer of the front teeth of my 11-year-old son Yaoyao has \”soaked\” and fallen off, which is considered to be the early stage of dental caries! It turns out that after juice is squeezed, more sugar and fruit acid will be released, which will soften tooth enamel. Over time, this protective layer will fall off. When the bacteria in the mouth encounter high sugar, they will also ferment and produce acid, which accelerates tooth enamel decay. Dissolve. The acid erosion of teeth caused by juice is often concentrated on the incisors, especially the upper incisors, because the enamel here is the thinnest. Are mothers surprised when they see this? It turns out that freshly squeezed juice, which has always been considered nutritious and healthy, can be so harmful to teeth. So, can we still drink freshly squeezed juice? Of course you can, but mothers must be careful not to fall into the following misunderstandings! Misunderstanding 1: Brush your teeth immediately after drinking to prevent dental caries. In addition to freshly squeezed juice, the corrosive power of lactic acid drinks, yogurt and acidic fruits such as plums and grapes on teeth can also be easily ignored. Some mothers believe that brushing their children\’s teeth immediately after drinking juice or yogurt can prevent dental caries. In fact, many tiny pores will be formed on the enamel, and the hardness will decrease. Brushing your teeth at this time will cause secondary damage to it. Fact: Rinse your mouth with water and brush your teeth after half an hour. Myth 2: Freshly squeezed juice can replace fruit. In order to provide more nutrition to children, especially those who do not like to eat fruits, many parents will squeeze juice for their children instead of fruit. In fact, although the nutrition of freshly squeezed fruit juice is much higher than that of fruit juice drinks, a large number of studies have found that various nutrients may be damaged during the juice pressing process, especially vitamin C, which is very unstable. Poor, it is easily oxidized and destroyed during the juice making process. In addition, it is not resistant to high temperatures. If parents heat the juice, the higher the temperature and the longer the time, the more vitamins will be lost. In addition, from a nutritional point of view, fruit juice contains high sugar content and loses the fiber and other nutrients contained in the fruit itself. Drinking too much fruit juice can easily lead to health problems such as nutritional deficiencies, tooth decay, and obesity. Truth: It is best to feed fruit directly to children between 6 months and 1 year old: press the fruit into a puree/paste (you can start with relatively bland fruits such as apples and bananas) and feed it to the baby with a small spoon. 1 to 3 years old: Make sure to eat 1 to 2 fruits every day. Myth 3: Freshly squeezed juice can replace boiled water. Juice can provide children with extra water, but children have sensitive tastes and sour and sweet juices (even diluted ones) will damage their taste buds and make them prefer sweets. Frequent use of juice to quench thirst may also make children not accept plain water in the future, and they may not like bland rice noodles or even milk powder, which is not good for dental health. In addition, just drinking high-concentration juice will make you thirstier the more you drink it. Because when the fruit is squeezed, the dietary fiber in the fruit has been broken (such dietary fiber is no longer useful to the human body) and is filtered out along with the pomace. Drinking too much can lead to constipation, especially if some use freshly squeezed juice instead. Boiled water crowd. Truth: If you want to quench your thirst, plain water is the way to go.Healthier beverages: Boiled tap water is the best drinking water for children (it is best to filter it with a water purifier first). After heating, it contains chloride, fluoride and other ingredients, which can play a role in disinfection and tooth decay prevention: ▶Exclusively breastfed babies from 0 to 6 months do not need to be fed water directly, 87% of breast milk is water; artificially fed babies The amount of water fed = 150 ml/kg body weight × body weight – the amount of water in formula milk. (Generally, water is given between two times of formula feeding, and small amounts can be fed multiple times.) ▶7 to 12 months: Feed water twice a day, 120 to 150 ml each time. ▶1~3 years old: drink 600~1000ml of water directly every day. Note: As long as your baby\’s urine is light yellow or colorless, it means he is adequately hydrated. Pay special attention to water supply when the weather is hot, after exercise, in an air-conditioned room, after crying, in a dry climate, after going out, when you are sick, have a fever or have diarrhea. Myth 4: It doesn’t matter if you drink more freshly squeezed juice. Juice contains a lot of fructose. Drinking too much often cannot be digested and absorbed, which can cause bloating, diarrhea and other chronic gastrointestinal problems in children. At the same time, it can also cause the following problems: ① Anemia: Excessive intake of fructose will affect the body\’s absorption of copper, and the trace element copper is involved in iron metabolism in the body, so copper deficiency can also cause iron deficiency anemia. ② Malnutrition: Excessive juice will occupy the space of breast milk or formula milk and directly affect the amount of milk. Drinking juice during meal times can also affect your appetite for complementary foods, leading to malnutrition. ③Obesity: Your baby may eat up to one piece of fruit at a time, but if you drink juice, you may \”drink\” two or three fruits into your stomach at once. This often increases your child\’s risk of obesity. The truth: AAP’s recommended limits for drinking juice ▶ <6 months: Not recommended. ▶ 1~6 years old: The total amount of drinking per day should not exceed 180 ml. ▶ ＞6 years old: The total daily drinking volume should not exceed 360 ml. Note: Use a cup (avoid a bottle) to drink juice for your baby. After drinking, give him two sips of water to clean his mouth and prevent dental caries.
