What are some tips for curing baby’s toothache?

Babies generally start to grow teeth slowly from 8 months old. At this time, the baby needs to constantly take in nutrients and start eating some snacks, which causes the baby's teeth to be damaged prematurely. Among them, tooth decay is the biggest cause of tooth damage in babies, and it can also cause great damage to the baby's physical health. Let's take a look at some tips to treat baby's tooth decay pain.

1. Caries of deciduous teeth should be treated promptly

(1) Drug treatment: On the basis of grinding away the carious tissue, drugs are used to stop the development of caries, such as sodium fluoride and silver ammonia nitrate drugs.

(2) Restorative treatment: a. Filling restoration b. Inlay restoration c. Finished crown restoration

2. Cultivate good eating habits in children

(1) Control snacks, such as cakes, candies, candied fruits, beverages, etc.

(2) Adjust the food structure: less sugar means less cariogenicity, more fiber means stronger anti-caries effect.

(3) Arrange your eating time reasonably, eat on time, rinse your mouth and brush your teeth after eating.

If caries in deciduous teeth are not treated in time, they will develop into pulpitis and periradiculitis, affecting the development of the permanent tooth germs underneath. In severe cases, it may cause the tooth germs to fail to develop or form cysts. This type of enamel hypoplasia of permanent teeth caused by periradiculitis of deciduous teeth is not uncommon in clinical practice.

How to protect children's teeth

It can usually be done from the following aspects: the first is to brush your teeth. Just as a baby's diaper must be changed immediately when it becomes dirty, a child's mouth must be brushed if it becomes dirty after a meal or snack, even if it's just with a little water.

The second step is to apply a layer of fluoride on the teeth. This can make the tooth enamel stronger and reduce the chance of disease, but it cannot completely prevent it.

Third, don’t let your children eat too much sweets. Eating too much sugar will cause the bacteria in the mouth that can cause tooth decay to multiply quickly. Therefore, young mothers should pay attention to giving their children more milk, biscuits, fruits, etc., and less sweets. The best time for children to have dessert is at 10 am and 3 pm every day.
