What should I do if my child's sixth molar is broken?

We all know that children like to eat snacks and drink some yogurt when they are in school. After eating these foods, parents must urge their children to brush their teeth frequently, because these things will corrode the teeth. If they do not brush their teeth after eating, the six-year molars of children will be damaged over time. This will cause bad teeth problems for children when they are young. So what should children do if their six-year molars are damaged?

1. Reason: Babies secrete less saliva in their mouths when eating snacks, and food residues are easily left on their teeth, especially starchy foods.

2. Recommendation: After eating, it is best to use dental floss to clean the residue in the gaps between teeth to reduce damage to the teeth. At the same time control the amount and time of intake. Don't eat snacks such as cakes and candies before going to bed.

What should I do if my baby's sixth molars are decayed?

1. Reason: There are many tiny cracks and pits on the surface of babies' teeth, which are easy to hide dirt and are difficult to clean with brushing. The pit and fissure sealing technique mentioned in the cartoon can effectively prevent the occurrence of caries.

2. Recommendation: Pit and fissure sealing technology is most suitable for caries prevention of deciduous molars of 3-year-old children and "six-year teeth" of 6-year-old children. It should also be used when the second permanent molars erupt at the age of 12.

1. Reason: Brushing teeth is the first step in oral hygiene for babies, but due to their young age, they have not mastered the skills of brushing teeth. At the same time, due to lack of patience, the brushing time is greatly shortened, which weakens the effect.

2. Suggestion: Mothers must supervise their babies when brushing their teeth and help them clean their mouths when necessary.

Bar!

1. Reason: Many babies have the habit of drinking milk at night. In fact, drinking milk before going to bed is very harmful to the baby's teeth. This is because milk has a high lactose content. These sugars and residues retained in the mouth can easily breed bacteria and cause tooth decay.

2. Recommendation: Mothers should stop letting their babies drink milk or juice at night.

What should I do if my baby's sixth-year tooth is decayed?

1. The structure of the sixth-year molars: Because the newly erupted "six-year molars" are insufficiently calcified and have poor acid resistance, there are many pits and fissures on the surface of the teeth. These pits and fissures are uneven and have deep cracks, which easily accumulate caries-causing bacteria and food debris and are not easy to remove.

2. Baby's brushing habits: 70% of 6-year-old babies have caries in their deciduous teeth. The oral environment is already very bad, and they have not yet mastered the brushing method. Some babies have not even formed the habit of brushing their teeth. Bacteria invade and multiply in the mouth, gradually damaging the newly erupted "six-year teeth" and causing caries.

3. Symptoms are not easy to detect. Many mothers do not know that when their babies complain of toothache, it is very likely that the "six-year molars" have been severely decayed and have induced pulpitis or even apical periodontitis, requiring tooth extraction. Once the "six-year molars" are lost prematurely, not only will the baby's chewing power decrease, but it will also cause the adjacent teeth to shift and tilt, induce occlusal disorders, and hinder normal facial development.
