What happens if a child has a hole in his tooth?

In real life, many parents have found that their children always have holes in their teeth. Although some children do not like to eat sweets, they still have holes in their teeth. If this phenomenon is not treated in time, the hole will become larger and larger, and may even affect the entire tooth. So what is the cause of the holes in children's teeth? What are the hazards? What to do?

Causes of cavities in teeth:

Eroded by sugar: In life, we can find through investigation that children who eat sugar are more likely to develop cavities than those who do not eat sugar. Therefore, parents should pay attention to giving their children as little sugar as possible.

Oral bacteria: Because many children do not have the habit of brushing their teeth, the bacteria in the mouth cannot be removed and irritate the teeth, causing tooth decay.

Dangers of having cavities in teeth:

Impact on overall development: The tooth cavity will grow from small to large, from shallow to deep, and then invade the dental pulp, making the child unable to eat due to toothache, which directly affects the child's overall development.

Affecting the eruption of permanent teeth: If parents do not seek timely treatment for their children after their teeth are decayed, it will cause premature loss of deciduous teeth, resulting in adjacent teeth occupying the missing parts and difficulty in eruption.

Impact on jaw development: If a child's teeth are decayed, the child can only chew food with the opposite teeth. Over time, it will affect the child's jaw development and even affect the child's facial appearance.

What to do if you have a hole in your tooth:

If there are cavities in deciduous teeth, you should actively go to the hospital for restorative treatment. First, remove the dead pulp inside through the root canal, and then fill it to close the cavity.

A warm reminder: as parents, once you find a cavity in your child’s tooth, you should take your child to the hospital to have it fixed as soon as possible. Do not let it develop and cause unnecessary consequences.

By reading the text above, we know that there are many reasons for tooth cavities. Generally speaking, it has a lot to do with children not liking to brush their teeth. Therefore, children must be encouraged to develop good habits of brushing their teeth. In addition, when toothache occurs, it should be repaired in time and not allowed to develop, otherwise it will affect the child's jaw development and even affect the child's appearance.
