Raisins for breakfast 'not bad for kids' teeth'

Children who add a handful of raisins onto their breakfast cereal will not increase their chances of developing tooth decay, a study has found.

Bran cereals with raisins that do not have added sugar is no worse for children's teeth than regular bran flakes.

Scientists suggest eating raisins, which contain a natural source of sugar, with their bran cereal does not contribute towards tooth cavities in children.

The sugar disappears from the tooth rather than fermenting, as it does with fruits such as bananas and apples.

Professor Christine Wu, from the University of Illinois in Chicago, explained:'Some dentists believe sweet, sticky foods such as raisins cause cavities because they are difficult to clear off the tooth surfaces. Studies have shown that raisins are rapidly cleared from the surface of the teeth.'

The study, from the US university, looked at the acid produced by the plaque bacteria on the surface of the child's teeth after they ate a mix of raisins, flakes of bran, a high street raisin bran cereal and mix of bran flakes with raisins and no added sugar.

Plaque which stays on the tooth can ferment into sugars from glucose, fructose and sucrose which all produce acid that develop into decay.

Raisins do not contain sucrose, which is thought to be the main sugar that forms a sticky barrier, helping bacteria to grow.

The study is published in the journal Pediatric Dentistry.

periodontitis

In the simplest sense, the meaning of gum disease, professionally diagnosed as periodontal disease is a description for growing bacteria in your mouth that progresses in stages which can eventually destroy the tissues that are surrounding your teeth for support.
A phase of gum disease is set into motion with plaque build up. When plaque accumulates to increasing levels, it turns into a harder substance referred to as tartar. Tartar is hard to remove as it is bound to the teeth. This stage is accompanied by a term, gingivitis, I am sure you’ve heard of.
With the beginning events of gingivitis, you will notice that your gums will become red. They begin to swell. When you brush your teeth, you may experience bleeding. At this stage, your mouth is becoming unhealthy and needs the attention of a professional. At this stage, you may feel a slight gum irritation, but your teeth will be stable and intact.
To prevent gingivitis, you can take a few steps. The best, most practiced, and expressed by professionals is the need to brush after every meal and flossing regularly. This will fend off plaque build up in the early stages. Paying attention to daily oral hygiene will decrease your chances of contracting gingivitis.
If you don’t take care of your symptoms, gingivitis progresses into a disease called periodontal disease. This is a critical stage. The outcome is that a layer of your gum begins pulling from your teeth or recedes. You may notice spaces forming between your teeth. This leaves to a greater chance of small particles of food getting caught and causing infection and pain. At this point, you are at risk of your teeth getting loose and falling out.
Hopefully, you’ll recognize the signs of gum disease in its early stage. It can be treated to restore you to a healthy stage.
