![Page 12: Physical Growth & Development 1 – 3 Year olds. Review: Identify the five areas of development Identify the characteristics of development Identify the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cfe5503460f949ce5c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Teeth
• Emerge at different rates: – 1 year old – 8 teeth– 2 years old – 16– By 3, that last four back teeth emerge
• 20 primary teeth
• Several factors that influence the health of a child’s teeth:– Diet– Heredity– Dental care
![Page 13: Physical Growth & Development 1 – 3 Year olds. Review: Identify the five areas of development Identify the characteristics of development Identify the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cfe5503460f949ce5c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Teeth • Diet
– Greatly influences the quailty of a child’s teeth– Are formed before birth
• Mother’s diet during pregnancy – affects quality of baby teeth
– Child’s diet is important in the first 2 years – adult teeth are forming under primary teeth
• Dairy products (calcuim & phosphorus)
• Milk (Vitamin D)
• Water – flouride
– Poor Diet – Tooth decay
• Heredity– Dentists have identified a protective mechanism
that discourages decay – some children will inherit from parents!
![Page 14: Physical Growth & Development 1 – 3 Year olds. Review: Identify the five areas of development Identify the characteristics of development Identify the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cfe5503460f949ce5c9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Caring for the Teeth
• Teach them to brush right after eating – the longer food remains in the mouth the more it can damage teeth
• Encouragement – small, soft toothbrush & a bit of toothpaste – http://www.spinbrush.com/Kids_ParentTips.html
• Attempts – not very successful, but the opportunity = IMPORTANT
• Even at age 3, kids will still need adult help
![Page 15: Physical Growth & Development 1 – 3 Year olds. Review: Identify the five areas of development Identify the characteristics of development Identify the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cfe5503460f949ce5c9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

teeth the next night
• 18 months – good age for children to have first dental checkup
