齲齒風險分析 CARIES
0-3歲蛀牙風險 父母照顧者 Cavity-risk 0-3 years, primary caregivers/parents

在 0-3 歲的這段期間,父母對於小孩的口腔健康影響也很大。
有研究指出如果父母或小孩的主要照顧者的社經地位比較低,或是他們自己嘴巴現在也有蛀牙的話,小孩連帶著會比較容易蛀牙。
所以父母平時也要養成:
▲定期看牙醫的習慣
▲確認自己口中沒有蛀牙會傳給小孩,也盡量不要共用湯匙筷子等餐具,「你一口,我一口。」很容易接連傳染蛀牙。
▲長牙齒之後也要開始幫小孩潔牙,一天至少幫小孩刷兩次牙,至少用一次牙線,能幫助預防口腔蛀牙喔。
Parents have a significant role to play for the oral health of children aged between 0 to 3 years. Studies show that if parents or primary caregivers have a low social-economic status, children are more likely to have cavities.
So parents need to develop the following habits:
- visit a dentist regularly
- ensure you don't have caries that will pass on to your child. Avoid sharing utensils. Cavities are easily transmitted through food sharing.
- Help your child clean their teeth once their teeth have erupted, at least twice a day and floss at least once to prevent tooth decay.
