What should I do if my child’s tooth is broken? Recommend these remedies!

Children are usually very playful and always jumping around. During this process, they are likely to fall if they are not careful. It is easy to knock your teeth after falling, and even break them directly. However, many parents ignore it when their children's teeth are broken, always thinking that their children are still in the development stage and their teeth will repair themselves. In fact, emergency remedial measures must be taken at this time, otherwise it may cause the child's teeth to develop poorly, and eventually make the teeth unsightly, or affect the normal chewing function.

To preserve the broken tooth, rinse it briefly and place it in a moist environment in time, such as milk, saline, etc. You can also hold it in your mouth. Never wrap it with a tissue to prevent the broken tooth from being damaged by dryness. See a doctor as soon as possible. The success rate of treatment is high within 30 minutes after the tooth is broken.

Some parents think that their children will have new teeth in the future anyway. It is wrong to ignore children's teeth. If a child's deciduous teeth are broken, he or she needs to seek medical attention in time. If the crown of a deciduous tooth is broken and the dental nerve is exposed, a pulpotomy is usually performed to prevent infection of the affected tooth, otherwise it will affect the development of permanent teeth in the future; if the root of a deciduous tooth is broken, no treatment is required and the condition should be observed: if the deciduous tooth is completely embedded in the alveolar socket and the embedding direction is biased towards the palate, and the root apex of the deciduous tooth is inclined towards the permanent tooth germ, the deciduous tooth should be extracted to avoid possible damage to the permanent tooth germ.

A small part of the cutting end of the crown can be broken off and then restored to its original shape by bonding with resin material. Pay attention to any discoloration of the teeth and follow up. Cervical part: Root canal filling is performed first, then a cast metal post is cemented into the root canal, and then the crown is bonded back. Broken tooth root: At this time, the tooth needs to be extracted and a space maintainer is made. After adulthood, dentures or dental implants can be used to repair the tooth.

If not treated, the harm may be greater. First of all, not treating it will affect the appearance, which may be the most important point. After all, the child will go to school in the future. Secondly, when eating, encountering hot or cold foods may stimulate the dentin and cause pain, and it is also easy to cause pulpitis.
