We must be alert and know how to proceed both in hygiene and in their dental education from the start. Before the eruption of teeth, jaws rims clean with gauze or a clean soft cloth wrapped around his finger. This practice may continue until the appearance of the first four teeth.

The best place for oral hygiene is the place where diapers are changed typically after the bath to incorporate oral hygiene to the rest of the body. In 9 to 12 months and eight anterior teeth erupted and as the dentition is complete chewing cycle stabilizes. When the upper and lower teeth touch, the muscles of the jaws begin to learn new roles, the first movements are irregular as seen during the first etadío of any motor skill. From 12 to 24 months continues the development and masticatory system maturation is completed within 30 months with the presence of 20 teeth in the mouth.

Dr. Zaida Moya, who was in charge of the investigation, said the Arequipa papaya contains papain, a proteolytic enzyme (Carica pubescens) whose processing results in a dental material that allows the softening of dental caries. Dr. Moya met the local properties of this product during the course of his doctoral thesis.
