蛀牙 Cavities

丫頭小小年紀，蛀牙就5，6顆了，而且還是上面的大門牙對外的表面 - 超明顯的。真慘。
 
一開始，媽媽還納悶，怎麽從小就有幫她刷牙還蛀牙？而且還住在不容易有食物殘留的上方門牙表面。後來牙醫師解釋，是因為丫頭長期過敏鼻塞，用嘴巴呼吸，導致上方牙齒表面都
被“風乾了”，失去口水的保護，就特別容易蛀牙。
 
人體的健康還真是一環釦一環啊！
 
於是爸爸媽媽開始天天幫她塗氟，她也很努力地開始刷牙用牙綫。。。 技術雖然不佳，熱情倒是十足。一天要求你刷好幾次牙，每次都欲罷不能，爸爸媽媽守著她刷牙都快守的煩死了！
 
Hannah just turned two and already has 5, 6 cavities on the surface of her upper front teeth. Mommy's horrified. We really do brush her teeth daily!

Our dentist explained that Hannah's cavities are the results of her habit to breath with her mouth (since her nose's often stuffed from her allergies). It dries her mouth - particularly the outer surface of her front teeth - and make her teeth more prone to cavities.

Ouch.

Now we give her a flouride pill daily and encourage her to brush and floss. Well, actually, she doesn't need encouragement in that area - if she has it her way now, she'd be brushing her teeth 6 times a day and over 30 minutes every time. We've had to pry her away from the bathroom sink.
