What to do if a child has a hole in his or her big tooth

We should all be familiar with tooth cavities. Almost everyone has this condition, which causes us a lot of trouble. Especially some children, they also begin to have this tendency, and it is very painful and they can't eat. If you have this phenomenon, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Tooth cavities are caused by not developing good eating habits and not maintaining good dental hygiene in life.

In life, if we pay attention, we will find that many children have black cavities in their teeth. Why do cavities appear in teeth and what should we do?

Causes of cavities in teeth:

1. Erosion by sugar: In life, we can find through investigation that children who eat sugar are more likely to develop cavities than those who do not eat sugar. Therefore, parents should pay attention to giving their children as little sugar as possible.

2. Oral bacteria: Because many children do not have the habit of brushing their teeth, the bacteria in the mouth cannot be removed and irritate the teeth, causing tooth decay.

Dangers of having cavities in teeth:

1. Impact on overall development: The tooth cavity will grow from small to large, from shallow to deep, and then invade the dental pulp, causing the child to have toothache and be unable to eat, which directly affects the child's overall development.

2. Affecting the eruption of permanent teeth: If parents do not promptly treat their children after their teeth are decayed, it will cause premature loss of deciduous teeth, resulting in adjacent teeth occupying the missing parts and making it difficult for permanent teeth to erupt.

3. Affecting the development of the jaw: If a child's teeth are decayed, the child can only chew food with the opposite teeth. Over time, it will affect the child's jaw development and even affect the child's facial beauty.

What to do if you have a hole in your tooth:

If there are cavities in deciduous teeth, you should actively go to the hospital for restorative treatment. First, remove the dead pulp inside through the root canal, and then fill it to close the cavity.

·A warm reminder: as parents, once you find that your child has a cavity in his tooth, you should take him to the hospital to have it repaired as soon as possible. Do not let it develop and cause unnecessary consequences.
