What should I do if my child’s teeth are decayed?

Many parents do not pay much attention to their children's dental health and do not educate their children to develop good brushing habits. In addition, children often make mistakes when eating. If this continues for a long time, children's teeth will be prone to cavities, and then cavities will appear in the teeth. Such places are prone to dirt, especially food residues, so the harm is very great. So what are the solutions?

What should I do if my child’s teeth are decayed?

1. Be sure to see a dentist, because if a tooth is decayed and is not filled, the entire tooth may be lost. At that time, it will not be cost-effective to implant a tooth, so always pay attention to your teeth and fill them as soon as you find cavities. Because tooth decay will affect the stability of other teeth, just like a hole in a wall, it will collapse sooner or later.

2. Try not to eat foods that can easily cause inflammation, such as fried foods, and don't eat too many desserts and spicy foods. Because these things can easily cause heat in the body and lead to toothache. Toothache is the most uncomfortable thing, so try to avoid it if you can.

3. Develop good habits. Brush your teeth when you wake up in the morning and when you go to bed at night. You can drink something or rinsing your mouth after meals. If you have the habit of taking a nap, try to brush your teeth as well. If you can't do it, you can rinsing your mouth or chewing gum.

4. The method of brushing teeth also requires some particularities. The correct way to brush your teeth is to brush vertically instead of horizontally. Do not brush too hard. Just brush gently for about 2 minutes.

The "six-year molar" of a 7-year-old child has already erupted, that is, the first permanent tooth to erupt in the mouth - the first molar, which is the innermost one. However, there are still unreplaced deciduous molars in front of the molars at this time, so the child’s last two large teeth are decayed. It is necessary to carefully distinguish whether it is the deciduous molars or the permanent molars that are decayed. If it is a deciduous molar, it is not a big deal. You can adjust the tooth appropriately and maintain strict oral hygiene to prevent the residual crown of the deciduous molar from causing pain. However, if it is a permanent molar with decay, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible and do your best to repair it. After all, this tooth will not be replaced in the rest of your life. If it is damaged or even lost too early, it will have a great impact on the child's future jaw shape and dentition development.
