Dr. Sarah Hulland, a Pediatric Dentistry Specialist in Calgary stated that the occurrence of dental cavities in older school kids has plunged noticeably in the past two decades, however up to 40% of kids under five years old have cavities, and that number is growing at a rapid speed.
Five years back, research came out to declare that the rate of cavities had plunged by 33 to 50% as contrasted to what it was 20 years back.
Although, in dentists' offices in the past five to 10 years, a progressive increase has been seen in cases of kids aged up to five with uncontrolled tooth decompose.
It is well known at this age that there is a huge risk development of future cavities if it had been a former problem.
Hulland opines that with childhood obesity, diet is the center of the problem. Countless things add to the trouble but diet and the way we are managing food is not fine.
Life has become busy. People are unable to provide their kids with good meals, especially for fussy eaters. It is far easier to obtain processed food, which definitely is not good for health because there is high amount of sugar and salt content that is added in order to create addictive flavor.
