Baby Throat Cleaning After Brushing Teeth, Sometimes Also After Eating

Question

The baby clears their throat after brushing their teeth, and sometimes also after eating, especially after sweet foods.

Answer

If parents have more dental caries, then the likelihood of their children developing them is also higher; conversely, the same applies. These research results show that dental caries have a genetic predisposition. The study also proves that many aspects of the mouth, including enamel structure, tooth shape and size, dental alignment and dental arch shape, occlusal fissure depth, saliva content and buffering capacity, as well as the self-cleaning effect of the tooth crown convexity, all affect the occurrence of dental caries.
