How to give treats and prevent tooth decay

Feed regularly and develop patience
 At the same time as what kind of snacks you give your child, how you give them is also greatly related to the prevention of tooth decay.
 In conclusion, it is to "give regularly".
 What happens if you give treats regularly?Not only does it prevent tooth decay, but Mr. Okazaki says, "It fosters a sense of endurance."
 For example, Ms. Okazaki once asked her mother to do a survey like this when she was first diagnosed.

[Question XNUMX] How do you think your child will behave during treatment?
 ①Be able to receive treatment well
 ② I'm scared
 ③I think I will cry
 ④ I think it is difficult to treat

[Question XNUMX] How to give snacks?
 (XNUMX) Give a fixed amount of time
 ② Give when you want

 According to the survey, nearly half of the mothers who answered that they would "give snacks at a set time" (45%) answered that they were able to receive treatment successfully in question XNUMX.
 Conversely, among the mothers who said, "I will give it when they want it," the most common answer to question XNUMX was, "I think I will cry."64%)was.
 When Mr. Okazaki actually treated the children, it seems that the children behaved almost as their mothers expected.
 “When I think about what kind of psychological process children go through to develop patience, I think it is actually the way they give snacks when they are little,” says Okazaki.If you want your child to be tolerant, the first thing to do is not to give him snacks unnecessarily.
 If you give your dog treats every time they want them, they will be prone to tooth decay, which can lead to eating too much.
 Regular feeding not only prevents tooth decay, but also prevents obesity and lifestyle-related diseases in the future.I want to be firm.

A child with an open heart and mouth
 According to Ms. Okazaki, from the world of just the two of us with her mother, when she started to have relationships with her friends around her at kindergartens and nursery schools, around the age of four, she began to feel embarrassed if she cried here. It means that the feeling of endurance will grow so as not to cry even during dental treatment.
 That said, it hurts when it hurts, even for adults.
 Dentists treat children as painlessly as possible, but there are times when they have to deal with crying children.
 Mr. Okazaki, a veteran dentist, showed the secrets of a good dentist, saying, "If you get angry, the treatment will be rough. Pediatric dentistry is a ninjutsu."
 "Why are you crying, are you crying because you're in pain, are you crying because you're spoiled, or are you crying because you're afraid? All of them have different meanings. (In pediatric dentistry), treatment must be tailored to that. Adults can't open their hearts. Children open their mouths only when their hearts open.
