What should I do if my three-year-old baby’s teeth are corroded?

In our country, there is not just one longevity village where many centenarians live. Why do they live so long? In addition to being related to the region, daily maintenance is also a must. Especially dental health, which is related to the length of life. People living in cities think brushing their teeth is a waste of time because of the fast pace of life. Can their teeth be healthy? So, what should we do if a three-year-old baby's teeth are corroded?

The blackening and falling out of infants' teeth is a sign of incomplete enamel development. Calcium is the main substance that makes up tooth enamel. Calcium deficiency in infants and young children makes the tooth enamel rough and uneven, making it easy for food debris to remain. Technically this is called baby bottle tooth decay. Children's deciduous teeth are poorly calcified and are more susceptible to caries. Because teeth will not grow bigger after they grow out, and children grow and develop very quickly, their jaws grow rapidly, so tiny gaps may appear between the front teeth after the age of 2 or 3. At this time, even a little residual food residue may cause caries (this happens very quickly, and visible caries can occur if it is not cleaned within 2 or 3 days).

Caries of deciduous teeth progress rapidly and can lead to infection at the root apex, thereby affecting the development and eruption of the permanent tooth germ underneath. Therefore, the current guidelines for children's oral diagnosis and treatment recommend that caries of deciduous teeth should be treated promptly, and if they cannot be treated, they should be removed as soon as possible. Lactobacillus in the mouth attach to the surface of the enamel to form plaque. The bacteria in the plaque continuously decompose food and produce a large amount of organic acid, which corrodes teeth with underdeveloped enamel. The color of the teeth gradually changes from white to brown and black, and they fall off bit by bit. That is tooth decay, it is recommended to go to the hospital. Timely calcium supplementation for infants and young children can effectively prevent the occurrence of tooth decay.

Please go to the hospital as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to regret when you find something wrong when your teeth are replaced.
