Los ni\u00f1os latinos son m\u00e1s susceptibles a la caries dental<\/h2>\n

\"los<\/p>\n

Los ni\u00f1os latinos sufren caries d<\/a> entales en una proporci\u00f3n mucho mayor que sus compa\u00f1eros blancos y afroamericanos no latinos.<\/p>\n

\u00abNuestros j\u00f3venes latinos sufren niveles desproporcionados de caries dental\u00bb, afirma la Dra. Leslie Renee Townsend, DDS, Directora Regional de Odontolog\u00eda de Jefferson Dental Clinics. \u00abEst\u00e1 claro que es hora de intervenir en el avance de las iniciativas de salud bucodental dirigidas a crear buenos h\u00e1bitos de salud dental desde una edad temprana\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Hasta el 55% de los ni\u00f1os latinos de 2 a 11 a\u00f1os han tenido caries en los dientes primarios y casi el 65% de los adolescentes latinos han tenido caries en los dientes permanentes, seg\u00fan datos<\/a> del Instituto Nacional de Investigaci\u00f3n Dental y Craneofacial.<\/p>\n

Otras investigaciones tambi\u00e9n sugieren que los j\u00f3venes latinos tienen el doble de probabilidades de sufrir caries sin tratar que sus compa\u00f1eros. El Centro de Control de Enfermedades reconoce que la caries<\/a> dental es la enfermedad cr\u00f3nica infantil n\u00famero uno en Estados Unidos. <\/p>\n

Los problemas atribuidos a la caries van mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de un simple dolor de muelas. La caries dental en los ni\u00f1os<\/a> se ha relacionado con problemas de alimentaci\u00f3n, dificultades de habla y articulaci\u00f3n, dificultad para concentrarse y terminar el trabajo escolar, dolores de cabeza e incluso disminuci\u00f3n de la autoestima. Se calcula que cada a\u00f1o se pierden 51 millones de horas de clase por problemas dentales. <\/p>\n

\u00abCada etapa del desarrollo de un ni\u00f1o es importante para el cuidado dental. Ahora estamos observando un aumento de la caries dental infantil, as\u00ed como un aumento de la caries dental en ni\u00f1os mayores\u00bb, dice la Dra. Leslie Renee Townsend, DDS, Directora Regional de Odontolog\u00eda de Jefferson Dental Clinics. \u00abEs importante que los padres y cuidadores recuerden que la atenci\u00f3n temprana y la prevenci\u00f3n son un primer paso para preparar al ni\u00f1o para una vida de buena salud bucodental.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Tomar medidas preventivas<\/h2>\n

Los padres pueden tomar medidas preventivas<\/a> para proteger a los ni\u00f1os. Los dientes primarios (de leche) son la base para que crezcan dientes permanentes sanos en la edad adulta. Establecer una rutina completa de salud bucodental que incluya cepillarse los dientes y usar hilo dental dos veces al d\u00eda, y dos visitas regulares al dentista cada a\u00f1o son vitales para mantener una boca sana. Un ni\u00f1o debe visitar al dentista antes de cumplir un a\u00f1o. <\/p>\n

Sellantes dentales<\/h3>\n

Los selladores dentales son una capa protectora que puede aplicarse a los dientes de los ni\u00f1os<\/a>, en particular a los molares posteriores de dif\u00edcil acceso, para ayudar a reducir el riesgo de caries. Este tratamiento es especialmente id\u00f3neo para los ni\u00f1os que est\u00e1n aprendiendo a cepillarse los dientes. <\/p>\n

Alimentos fortificantes<\/h3>\n

Comer alimentos que mantengan la salud general, y que tambi\u00e9n favorezcan la salud de dientes y enc\u00edas, es una forma importante de fortalecer la salud bucodental. Usar hilo dental debe convertirse en un h\u00e1bito habitual, sobre todo despu\u00e9s de consumir carnes y verduras fibrosas. <\/p>\n

En general, es importante que las familias traten la higiene bucodental como un h\u00e1bito familiar; \u00a1las grandes sonrisas deben ser cosa de familia! Prevenir la caries es un primer paso para combatir la crisis de salud dental y mejorar la salud de los j\u00f3venes latinos.
