what care to be taken for permanent teeth of a child, whose milk teeth are weak ?

Question:

my son's milk teeth got cavities at an early age. Now his permanent teeth have started to come up. They are very fine. Since i have dental problems, how can i save his teeth from not getting those problems? I have heard of flouride treatment, is it safe ? please help me.

Answers:
Cavities occur from incorrect diet and/or incorrect hygiene.
Baby teeth don't come thru weak.
DIET: Sweet drinks are the most usual cause nowadays. Mostly juices, cordials and soft drinks. Keep your child to plain water as much as possible. Diet cordial is a reasonable alternative, but this is still developing a taste for flavoured drinks. Lollies are of course still a problem too. A consultation with a dietitian can be very helpful in identifying sugary foods/drinks.
HYGIENE: Kids cannot be expected to clean their teeth properly until about the age of 8. They don't have the understanding or dexterity. An adult should do a proper job 2x daily.
Fluoride applications to the new adult back teeth is very helpful, but is only of use if also following a good diet and hygiene. It is absolutely safe. Your child should also be using an adult fluoride toothpaste too.
If you establish good diet and hygiene habits at an early stage, then he will not get more cavities. Tooth decay is totally preventable.
Please ignore the above participant, Natural Healer. "Liquid minerals" will do nothing to help. The answer displays a lack of knowledge about how teeth are formed, or about their anatomy, and about what influences their strength.

Fluoride is usually not recommended for children, if you ingest it you can get fluoride poisoning. Minerals are the best way to go! a liquid mineral will help your son grow strong and healthy and keep his teeth strong. Minerals will even whiten your teeth from the inside! email me for a link to the best absorbed liquid minerals you can slip into juice or food (they don't taste bad at all). The supplements are inexpensive, easy to take and have no negative side effects. Plus most importantly, they are safe for children!

Diet, diet, diet. What a child eats and learns to like to eat is the most important factor in keeping healthy teeth.
