Hello dear friends of my dear community of @motherhood, it's a pleasure to be here again to share a new writing of our experiences as parents that can be very useful for everyone, especially for those who are starting or think in the not too distant future to assume this beautiful role of parent that fills our lives with so much joy. Today I will talk about my experience in taking care of our children's teeth.
When I refer to this the first thing that comes to mind is teaching them to brush properly, and we sing to them for sure: "the top teeth brush down and the bottom teeth brush up....". But before reaching this stage there is a crucial process that we must take into account and is of great importance, when they begin to suck their thumb, because if children do it can cause serious problems in their gums and in most cases, the teeth tend not to come out straight, and unfortunately I speak from experience, when we are first parents and we see our child doing it seems so nice that we do not interrupt it but in the long run it will be a big problem for everyone.
One day I was in the street with my one year old baby girl, a good friend approached me and told me: Alex, try not to let your little girl suck her thumb, so she won't have problems with her teeth later on. But unfortunately I did not pay attention to that good advice because I thought my baby looked very pretty, and as a first-timer I did not value that good gesture and the most important thing, my friend is a dental technician to this day. Anyway, the common problems of all this is that when they grow up they will most likely need to have control with the orthodontist, as it causes deformities in the teeth and therefore a bad bite, generating discomfort in the future to our children when they grow up, referring to the aesthetics, and that is why today we see many people using braces, in fact I am one of them, trying to solve this fact.
And with all this we must be clear, that as parents, we have a great responsibility because it will depend on us to be aware of being able to help so that they do not do it, and today we have many tools to do so they do not have these damages, how for example the almost flat pacifiers that will help them not to have these problems in the future, but personally I think we can prevent them from not doing it, sure we will all win and something very important is that we will prevent them from getting sick by putting their finger in the mouth because of an infection.
An extensive topic friends, and at this point I would not like to be so hard but as parents we will always be guilty if our children have these problems, which in many cases causes crowding of their teeth and the saddest thing in these cases is that in the vast majority of milk teeth do not loosen, and begin to leave their permanent teeth and is where our children suffer by visiting the dentist, and sadly I have heard many parents tell their children that they will take him to the dentist when they misbehave, never do this with it. Anyway, my friend, thumb sucking is something natural in our babies because in some of them it can be a sign of being hungry or sleepy, but if we try to avoid it we will be doing a great favor to their future teeth, which although you may not believe it in some cases can cause psychological problems, this way we will not be guilty of this fact that in the long run we will have to invest in order to remedy the situation.
