I have always thought it was impossible for kids to have bad breath. I guess I was mistaken. When the kids started having teeth at 3 months, I was very excited and proud. I never knew that the early they came out, the worst they could get for being exposed to milk. Yes, the babies’ milk that is often taken during sleep time contributes to the early deterioration of teeth in children. At least, some dentists I have asked told me.
I have always believed that I could trust everything to my mom and the helpers when I am out to work. My mom is also busy in the bakery and there are times that the kids are left alone with the nannies – who sometimes forgot to brush their teeth. Now, my kids no longer have front teeth, they were all deteriorated and it reached to a point that Scieszka needs to be hospitalized because of the infection brought about by one of her deteriorated tooth.
I already thought that was the worst, there is something more. She now even has bad breath and I needed to personally tend to her during brush time to make sure she’ll learn how to properly brush her teeth. I am wondering if there is a treatment for bad breath on kids? The past few days, her breath seems to be a little good. I just hope that when I am out and I need to work, the people left at home will not forget about my instructions, particularly about the kids.
We need to take care of our children’s teeth esp. when all the milk teeth are gone and the permanent ones appear. Sometimes, bad breath or halitosis is caused by poor digestion or by infections in the digestive system. We have to go to the doctor for any abcess in the teeth or mouth and especially for bad breath.
