Prevalencia de la pérdida prematura de dientes temporales en las clínicas integrales del niño de la universidad Santo Tomás de Floridablanca entre 2010 y 2013

Abstract

Temporary teething in children needs preventive care by the parents or guardians responsible for them, because any alteration compromises the state of health of the teeth and gums. The appearance of caries is almost always the manifestation and the most frequent consequence of the lack of oral hygiene, as well as the constant and prolonged intake of sweets and teapots (1). Davis, Law and Lewis point out that when parents begin to worry about the health of their children, on many occasions the child already has a condition of the teeth so severe that it is not possible to apply any conservative therapeutic technique, being the only treatment feasible the exodontics of the affected teeth, it is for this reason that it is important to brush teeth, use fluoride and check with the dentist periodically, in order to prevent and avoid premature loss (2).
