In my recent clinical experience, I realised there are an increasing number of dental issues with kids along with their allergy component.
So let’s see how they are correlated.
- When kids have chronic nasal congestion they breathe by mouth.
- This results in the crooked development of teeth.
- Allergies also cause tooth pain along with other symptoms too.
- Nasal congestion
- Sinus congestion
- Cough
- Discolored mucus from the nose
- Occasionally a low-grade fever
- It is important for individuals, as well as dentists and physicians, to be aware that there are several associations between the fields of dentistry and allergy.
- Everyone is aware that the basic reasons behind toothache are gum diseases and decay. But there are other causes too with lesser such as sinusitis that leads to pain.
- The other symptoms of allergies such as headache, mouth breathing, and cough can also lead to tooth decay due to dryness of the mouth and less salivation.
- Some medicines that are used for allergies as inhalers also cause tooth decay.
- The drugs used to treat asthma such as inhalers may have a higher chance of producing risk of caries, dental erosion and gum diseases.
- Other factors such as poor oral hygiene increase the risk of developing dental issues in these patients. Preventive oral measures should form an important part of the care plan for kids suffering from asthma and allergies.
- Some kids complain of dental issues with specific food items too.
- It is important to recognise the association of dental and allergies and other symptoms.
- Regular dental checkups and cleaning.
- Avoiding too much consumption of sweets, chocolates and canned foods with preservatives.
- Encouraging kids to brush twice a day daily. Brushing your teeth at night before bedtime is very crucial for overall dental hygiene.
