Child Tooth Decay is increasing

Bula Vinaka blogging world, 

Today I have read a Kiwi Kids News article about child tooth decay. Toddlers who are younger than 3 have to get all their teeth removed, because their teeth are that bad. It states that over the past 15 years, child tooth decay is increasing, from before being 4500 in hospital, to now, 7500. In my opinion, I think that this is a world tragedy, as it can affect the child's self esteem, and also ruin their future, (your smile is your future.) Families sometimes find it hard to afford oral hygiene products, so they are forced to share 1 toothbrush over all the people who have to brush in the house. Poor people are especially the big problem. Having all the unhealthy, junk food cheap in all the stores, is not only tempting, but also the easiest to afford for those who desperately need to eat. These people also can't get to the hospital in time because they most likely need to pay for transport.

The government has offered $2.5 million a year for helping young childrens oral health. 

I hope you've learnt something, and please feel free to comment on me and give me feedback and questions.


See ya'!
