Root canal treatment precautions

1. Wipe teeth with gauze or brush teeth after meals. The acid produced in tartar can corrode and dissolve teeth. Therefore, parents should help their babies develop a good habit of brushing teeth after meals to remove tartar.

2. Moderate the intake of sweets. Sugar plays a decisive role in the occurrence of dental caries. It can increase the plaque on the tooth surface and significantly increase the number of cariogenic streptococci. Therefore, try to control the intake of high-sugar foods such as snacks, fruit juices, and candies. It is best to feed your baby at fixed times and brush his teeth promptly after feeding.

3. Making your baby's diet nutritionally balanced and consuming more protein and calcium-rich foods is very effective in preventing tooth decay.

4. Take your baby for regular dental check-ups. Taking your baby for 1-2 dental check-ups a year will be of great help to the development of baby teeth.

5. Mothers should also pay attention to oral hygiene and oral cleanliness. If the Streptococcus mutans in the mother's mouth infects the baby, it will parasitize in the baby's mouth. Therefore, mothers should also pay attention to keeping their oral cavity clean. In addition, if your baby is found to have tooth decay, it must be treated as soon as possible.
