Teeth decay occurs when frequent and excessive amounts of sugar disturb bacteria in the mouth.

Key Points: 
  • Teeth decay occurs when frequent and excessive amounts of sugar disturb bacteria in the mouth.
  • Tooth decay is the most common cause of toothache among children and tooth decay is a leading cause of preventable hospital admission.
  • The good news is tooth decay is preventable with three good dental habits: early dental check-ups, twice daily brushing and limiting sugar.

1. Early dental check-ups

    • Early dental check-ups can pick up early signs of tooth decay.
    • Australian children from families experiencing the greatest adversity are the least likely to access dental services.
    • However, all preschool-aged children are eligible for free dental check-ups through public dental services.

2. Brush their teeth

    • Many young children have teeth spaced apart, so flossing between teeth may not be necessary.
    • However, your dentist may recommend flossing if teeth are in tight contact.
    • While most Australian adults brush their teeth twice daily, tooth brushing is less consistent in the early years.

3. Limit sugar

    • Consuming sugar early in life can increase the preference for sugar as children get older.
    • Parents and carers should be wary of aggressive marketing and deceptive labelling of sweet drinks and snacks as healthy alternatives.
    • Read more:
      Misleading food labels contribute to babies and toddlers eating too much sugar.
    • Early dental check-ups, brushing teeth twice a day with age-appropriate fluoridated toothpaste, and limiting sugar will allow children to reach adulthood with healthy mouths.
