Teeth & Mouth> What's a Cavity?
Kids' Health Problems> Teeth & Mouth> What's a Cavity?
Cavity. That's the word no one wants to hear at the dentist's office. A cavity (say: ka-vuh-tee) develops when a tooth decays (say: dih-kaze), or breaks down. A cavity is a hole that can grow bigger and deeper over time. Cavities are also called dental caries (say: kar-eez), and if you have a cavity, it's important to get it repaired.
But why would your tooth develop a hole? Blame plaque. That's a sticky, slimy substance made up mostly of the germs that cause tooth decay. The bacteria in your mouth make acids and when plaque clings to your teeth, the acids can eat away at the outermost layer of the tooth, called the enamel (say: ih-na-mul).

Kids' Health Problems> Teeth & Mouth> Tonsillitis
Way in the back of your throat are your tonsils — one on the right and one on the left. These two balls of tissue are part of your body's infection-fighting system to keep you from getting sick. But what happens if these infection fighters get infected? Then you have tonsillitis (say: tahn-sul-lye-tus).
What Are Tonsils?
The tonsils' job is to help fight germs that come in through our mouth or nose before they cause infections in the rest of the body. Usually, tonsils do their job well. But sometimes bacteria or viruses get into the tonsils and infect them. When this happens, you have tonsillitis.

Teeth & Mouth> The Reality of Retainers
Kids' Health Problems> Teeth & Mouth> The Reality of Retainers
You've probably seen a kid in the cafeteria take out his retainer before eating lunch. Carefully, he places it in a plastic container to make sure that it's safe while he eats. You can tell that this small plastic and metal mouthpiece is important to him. You might wonder why. Let's find out.
What's a Retainer?
A retainer is a piece of plastic and metal that is custom-made for each individual kid who needs one. It fits the top of the teeth and mouth. No two retainers are alike, even though many look similar. Retainers are really common. In fact, most people (kids and adults) who have braces have to wear a retainer for at least a little while after getting their braces taken off. Other people wear them to close gaps in their teeth, to help with speech problems, or to solve certain medical problems.

[center] Kids' Health Problems> Teeth & Mouth> Taking the Bite Out of Bruxism
[left][/center]Do you ever wake up in the morning with a sore mouth or jaw? Have you ever slept over at a friend's house and been told, "You grind your teeth when you sleep"? If so, you might have bruxism (say: bruk-siz-um).
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the term for grinding or clenching your teeth. It can happen during the day, but usually happens when you are asleep. Most of the time you don't even know you're doing it! It can happen to kids who still have all their baby teeth or kids whose permanent teeth are starting to grow in.
