About teeth
A special oral health and behavior survey showed that 88% of the children surveyed had varying degrees of dental caries. In addition to oral cleaning habits, parents know that different ways of eating fruit will also affect the development of baby teeth.
58% of the children eat fruit at home, and the parents help cut it into small pieces and eat it on a plate. This kind of behavior of the parents seems to be caring for the child, and it is more convenient to bite the fruit into a child. However, this practice is actually very unfavorable to the teeth. In fact, human jaws need to be exercised during growth and development. Hard food can help to develop jaw bones. On the contrary, it will cause the teeth to lose the chance of chewing exercise, which may lead to dentition and jaw dysplasia.
