Hello friends, all of you who are going to be future mothers and who are already mothers.
Do you know that formula milk can cause caries in your little one?
Milk is the main food before he can eat food in the form of rice. The first milk consumed by children is breast milk. While formula milk is a substitute for breast milk.

In addition, milk also helps reduce the acidity in the mouth, which can help fight tooth decay.
Can formula milk damage teeth? Why?
This is because most formula milk contains sugar. Sugar is what makes the child's teeth become damaged. Meanwhile, breast milk has a small risk of causing tooth decay.
In addition, formula milk from cow's milk with added vitamins and minerals with unlimited sugar content. This type of milk is said to cause the most damage to teeth, one example is cavities.
In children who drink formula milk which is high in sugar, symptoms usually appear such as white spots on the teeth, this is the initial condition of dental caries.
Even though formula milk has a risk of damaging teeth, children should not avoid consuming milk. Because milk contains important minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, protein, vitamins, and fats that can protect teeth.
Therefore, choose milk without sugar or low sugar. And don't let children avoid drinking milk while sleeping, because the milk that stagnates in the mouth is fermented by germs and produces strong acids. This acid will soften the tooth enamel and cause caries.
Don't forget to get your child to brush their teeth at least twice a day, after breakfast and before going to bed.
