Magnesium is a mineral that is also part of the tooth structure and is abundant in nuts. Foods rich in fiber, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits and vegetables, are beneficial because they require a major task of chewing and stimulate production of saliva, the mouth’s natural neutralizer.
What not to eat
Foods rich in complex carbohydrates (starch) are causing great damage, and that adhere to teeth and form acids that remain longer in contact with the enamel instead of being removed by saliva. They are easily degraded in the mouth by action of a substance containing saliva (alpha amylase) and bacteria simpler compounds that increase the acidity of the oral cavity, destroying the integrity of the enamel and may affect other components of the tooth.
The acidic juices such as orange, grapefruit and others also contribute to tooth decay, because levels of acidity and high in simple sugars. It is advisable to drink citrus juice mixed and lowered fasting in water to prevent damaging the acidity of lemon tooth enamel.
However, we should not avoid these foods, the important thing is not to take them between meals and not neglect our oral hygiene.
Following is a list of major dental discomfort, than to have, we can begin to treat them naturally, to avoid more serious consequences:

The first dental visit should be between 1 and 3 years of age.
Parents should not expect to detect any alteration or that the child has pain because on this visit the dentist will not only seek any alteration so early it can detect a problem in the making that can be prevented.
In addition, positive first visit where the child is not practicing any treatment, as this helps start a cordial and confident with my dentistry and general care of your teeth.
Unlike what many parents, the first tooth or teeth, but then are replaced by the final, should be treated when they decay and that the infection can cause changes in the germ of permanent tooth underneath. They can also happen to the space problems of permanent teeth as a premature loss of a tooth means that there is a gap in the gum longer than necessary so that the surrounding teeth can move forward and occupy it, leaving no space for permanent tooth to erupt .
First Visit to the Dentist
From the first visit is advisable to review the child twice a year.
2. Attitude in the dental clinic
At the first visit to the dental clinic parents must accompany the child and be present during it.
In it, the dentist will only child’s clinical examination and medical history which will collect demographic data (name, age, address …), the existence of diseases the child, which in the past, if you are taking any medication, family history of diseases that could have an impact on the mouth, etc..
Parents will also explain the possible need for dental treatment and what will be this.
Normally, when the dentist asks the child to do something, he looks around to their parents for approval and inappropriate attitude all these difficulties the child’s response. Therefore, in subsequent visits, parents should not go to the area of the dental chair so that the dentist can establish a direct relationship with the child without parental mediation, which will facilitate the child’s responses in the dental office.
For the child does not feel abandoned and be quiet is a good strategy that a mother stop a garment bag or a small view of what guarantees that the mother is waiting outside.
However If the baby cries, parents should not worry because it is a normal reaction to the unknown. If the dentist has experience in handling children know how to quell this behavior and make the child do not panic.
Many children cry to demand the presence of parents, so one must not fall into the trap of entering the office and let the professional handle the situation. We know that if our presence is required we will alert the dentist.
If the child behaves well we reward their attitude to reinforce this behavior in successive visits. If it is not recommended as it would increase punish the negative feeling that the child has before the dental visit.
3. The importance of parental attitudes
The attitude and comments from parents before going to the dentist are picked up quickly by children.
So parents have a great responsibility in the image the child to be his first visit to the dentist. The first contact with the dentist is very important to the future attitude of the child and will affect their behavior in successive visits to the dental office.
What never to do
Never threaten the child to take him to the dentist or doctor if they misbehave because these professionals associated with something bad, with a punishment that would not have to be good.
There are parents who after lying and threatening her children with all kinds of atrocities that will make the doctor still surprised that the child break to mourn just see a white coat.
Nor should take the child to see through deception, as thinking it is a bad place when their parents have had to trick you agree to go.
It is advisable
Parents should explain to the child that the dentist will see your mouth and you will see how many teeth you have and talk to them. Should avoid words like pain, injury, etc.. and not make comments like “not going to hurt” that make the child become defensive.
If the child has been a partner it is advisable to reinforce good behavior with praise and rewards. And make positive comments about the dentist, on the query or on other children waiting in the query.
It is good to explain how good it is to have gone to the query so that your teeth are always healthy and used to initiate in dental hygiene.
