How to prevent tooth decay in children

The prevention of tooth decay in children should be done since the eruption of the first tooth. Prevention is very important since the start of the dentition, regardless of which consume calcium to the diet.
Follow the following recommendations:
Avoid placing sweeteners in the pacifier. Do not add sugar to the bottle before bedtime. Avoid them with products such as candy or drinks containing sugar between meals and especially before bedtime. Clean teeth with a gauze or use a soft brush (after every meal) to about 2 years old when the child can brush alone.
The white spots on teeth are the first stage of decay. The first visit to the dentist is about 2 years where he performed many topical fluoride.
