Only with good teeth can you keep up with nutritio

Parents know very well that the seemingly simple action of chewing food is actually the first step in our bodies to absorb nutrients and digest food. Only when food is carefully ground by our teeth can the saliva in the mouth effectively fully infiltrate the food and start its initial nutritional decomposition process. Subsequently, these initially processed foods enter the stomach, and the digestive juice secreted by the stomach further decomposes and digests the foods until they become fine chyme. As the digestive process progresses, chyme continues to move forward into the small intestine and comes into full contact with the intestinal wall. During this process, most of the nutrients in the food are absorbed by the body, providing the necessary energy and nutrients for the normal functioning of the body.

However, to achieve the goal of adequate chewing, healthy teeth are particularly critical. When children have malocclusion or cavities, the process of chewing often becomes objectionable due to pain and discomfort. In this case, the child may just chew a few times casually, or swallow the food in a hurry. If this happens for a long time, not only will the rich nutrients in the food be unable to be fully decomposed, digested and absorbed, but in the long run it may also lead to malnutrition in children. This is not only a threat to children's physical health, but may also affect their growth, development and overall health.
