Early Prevention of High Disease Carries
Keeping children's teeth healthy before disease occurs
Prevention assessing caries risk is important for all patients and the process has to be repeated at intervals. Caries-promoting factors may change between visits and on a population level the disease and its sequelae are very widespread in adulthood. This guideline seeks to identify those children who are at greatest risk of future dental decay in time to prevent the ravages of dental caries. However, it must be appreciated that primary prevention will be required in all children to maintain low caries risk status. A large and comprehensive evaluation of caries risk assessment has demonstrated that, although there are limits to the sensitivity and specificity attainable, practical caries risk assessment in this age group is achievable.

Following Information Tips for Patient:
For Good Nutrition-Children with healthy baby teeth can eat well, which is imperative for the child's optimal growth and development.
to avoid pain and Infection- decayed baby teeth can be very painful which can make eating and sleeping difficult for the child. it can be likewise be a source of potential infection like meningitis, rheumatic fever and blindness.
To guide the permanent teeth-The position of the developing permanent teeth is directly below the baby teeth it will replace. Every time your child prematurely loses a baby tooth, the remaining teeth move into fill the gap. This causes insufficient space making the new teeth that will come out crowded or crooked(sung ki-sung ki).
Since this is a crucial time where children learn how to talk, having healthy baby teeth help in developing correct phonetics. It also build's confidence and self-esteem.

Risk Factors for Dental Caries:

There are a wide range of overlapping factors to consider when assessing an individual's degree of risk from this multifactorial disease. The risk factors described below and summarized in Table 1 were identified from the systematic review undertaken for the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners guidelines on selection criteria for dental radiography.Additional evidence for the importance of these risk factors is cited in the following sections.

Past caries experience is the most powerful single predictor of future caries increment(but even so the power is modest). When screening for high caries increment in young children (aged six years), caries in deciduous teeth is a better criterion than caries in permanent first molars.
Sugars are a major component of our daily diet. Children average nearly seven intakes of food per day,many of which are snacks rich in added sugars. Although there are many risk factors for dental caries, the local effect of dietary sugars has a fundamental role in the disease.
The 1945-1953 Vipeholm study14 is one of the largest single studies investigating the association between sugar consumption and dental caries. It concluded that consumption of sugary food and drinks both between meals and at meals is associated with a large caries increment. For ethical reasons, this study has never been repeated but the conclusions have been ratified by more recent national report.

Several Dietary Factors are Associated with Caries Incidence:
•amount of fermentable carbohydrate consumed
•sugar concentration of food
•physical form of carbohydrate
•oral retentiveness (length of time teeth are exposed to decreased plaque pH)
•frequency of eating meals and snacks
•length of interval between eating
•sequence of food consumption.

However, the key observation is that increasing the frequency of sugar intake increases the odds of developing dental caries, whilst lowering sugar intake can reduce it.

Social factors
Studies have demonstrated that dental caries is most prevalent in schoolchildren from low socio-economic status families. Children from these families show higher caries prevalence, fewer caries-free teeth, fewer sealants and more untreated lesions.

Use of fluoride
Consideration of water fluoridation as a public health measure is beyond the scope of this guideline, which seeks to make recommendations for those presenting in dental practice. However, there is strong evidence for its efficacy and safety from studies spread over many years and fluoridation has been shown to have a particularly beneficial effect on high caries risk, deprived children.A rigorous systematic review has recently been published by the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination.
The use of fluoride in tooth protection is considered.

Plaque control
Removal of bacterial plaque is important in minimizing one of the aetiological factors in caries. Health benefits are, however, primarily due to the incorporation of fluoride into most toothpastes.

Saliva
Saliva fulfils a major protective role against dental caries. A small group of children in this age group may have reduced salivary flow - usually as a consequence of their medical history and related drug therapy and are at high risk of dental caries.

Medical history and Disability
A range of factors in a child's medical history may be associated with increased caries risk.
A learning disability is not, per se, a predictor of increased caries risk. However, a wide variety of physical and learning disabilities result in decreased ability to perform oral self-care. Learning disability is often associated with poor oral hygiene and frequent consumption of sweet snacks. In this group of patients caries is often untreated and extraction rates are higher.
