Teeth break down because they are damaged by decay (or more precisely by decay bacteria). Children contract tooth decay, for example, from their parents (if they have them), simply by the parents putting their child's dummy or their spoon in their mouth. There is no doubt that children can acquire tooth decay bacteria from eating a variety of foods, in particular various simple sugars (sweet drinks, coca-cola), but also fruit juices, fruit, crisps or sweets. We should also bear in mind that too frequent tooth brushing can also lead to tooth decay.

Tooth decay occurs before tooth decay sets in, and it is important to brush well every day. If any problems occur with children's teeth, a dentist should be consulted immediately. Milk teeth are also treated.
