What should I do if my child has missing teeth? Authoritative doctors introduce repair methods

If a child has missing teeth, parents don't need to worry too much. If this happens to a child, it will be much easier to solve. You can take your child to the oral department of the hospital to see a doctor, who will introduce professional and effective restoration methods.

1. Poor nutrition or illness during the development of teeth will affect the calcification of teeth, making the teeth yellow and brittle. Water quality factors: In some areas, especially in some mountainous areas, the fluoride content in the water is high. Drinking too much fluoride will cause teeth to turn yellow. And it is not just 1 to 2 teeth, but a whole mouth of yellow teeth. Fluoride has an anti-caries effect, so these people are less likely to develop caries (cavities) and need treatment:

1. Drug treatment: For interproximal caries of deciduous incisors, extensive shallow caries of deciduous canines and deciduous molars, you can apply ammoniated silver nitrate, blow dry, and then use clove oil to restore it to black. Repeat this several times.

2. Tooth filling

3. Dry pulp surgery.

4. Remove residual crowns and roots. When the decayed deciduous teeth have reached the physiological tooth replacement period, they should be removed.

Second, this situation can be treated through dental implants.

Guidance:

It is recommended to strengthen the baby's nutrition and care, pay close attention to the baby's growth changes, and take the baby to see a dentist if necessary.

3. In this case, you should go to the hospital's dental department in time, and a professional doctor will treat it according to the severity of the situation.

Suggestions: If the injury is minor and does not damage the dental pulp nerve and does not cause pain, no special treatment is required, because these are deciduous teeth and permanent teeth will grow when the child is six or seven years old.

4. Dental restoration is mainly divided into three types, namely fixed restoration, removable restoration, and implant restoration.

(1) Fixed restoration: It mainly relies on the natural teeth on both sides or one side of the missing tooth gap for support. The denture is bonded to it with retainers such as crowns. The patient cannot remove it or put it on by himself. It is also called a fixed bridge. Depending on the material, it can be divided into porcelain restoration, all-ceramic restoration, metal restoration, resin restoration and other types. Its advantages are small size, little foreign body sensation, no need for patients to take it out for cleaning, and good recovery of chewing function.

(2) Removable partial dentures: also known as removable partial dentures, are a type of restoration that uses the mucosa and bone tissue covered by natural teeth and the base as support, and is retained by the denture's retainers and base. The patient can take it off and put it on by themselves. Types include cast brackets, flexible dentures, etc. Its advantages are a wide range of restorations, less tooth cutting and a relatively low price.

(3) Implant restoration: It is a surgical procedure to implant artificial tooth roots into the jawbone at the site of missing teeth, and then install dentures on the artificial tooth roots. This restoration method has basically become the preferred method for people to repair their teeth.
