How to treat children's tooth decay now

How do we treat tooth decay in children nowadays? Tooth decay is tooth decay, which is caused by the long-term accumulation of bacteria and food, generally carbohydrates, which provide a favorable external environment for bacteria. The current treatment method is drug therapy. Adults have always wanted to know the answer to how to cure children's cavities, because many hospitals have been unable to cure it. In fact, it is very simple to treat children’s tooth decay. Listen to me.

There are three main steps to treat tooth decay in children.

1. Ensure the normal eruption of permanent teeth. When caries occurs in deciduous teeth, if it is not treated in the early stage, it can further develop into pulpitis and apical periodontitis, which may affect the developing permanent tooth germ at the apex and cause morphological deformities of the permanent teeth. Severe caries of deciduous teeth can cause them to fall out prematurely, causing crowding and uneven arrangement of permanent teeth, affecting the appearance, laying the seeds for caries in permanent teeth, and seriously affecting the health of infants and young children.

2. Avoid serious tooth decay, which will cause greater damage and make treatment more complicated. Because the appearance and aggravation of tooth decay are gradual, children usually do not feel pain when a "small hole" first appears on their teeth. But as the saying goes, "If you don't fill a small hole, you will suffer from a big hole." Pain and swelling will not occur until the small hole becomes a big hole and develops into pulpitis and apical periodontitis. At this time, treatment will be much more troublesome.

3. Prevent children from developing other complications. When the deciduous teeth suffer from severe caries, the first thing that will be harmed is the deciduous teeth themselves, such as causing tooth defects, resulting in residual crowns, residual roots, tooth loss, etc., which will reduce or lose the child's chewing function. In addition, caries in deciduous teeth can cause ulcers in adjacent oral tissues, hinder tongue movement, cause gingivitis, and even cause lymphadenitis, cellulitis, jaw osteomyelitis, and sinusitis in the corresponding areas. Dental caries may also cause systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, endocarditis, chronic nephritis, and retinitis. Root granulomas, cysts, and pulp infections caused by baby tooth decay can become infection lesions. When the body's resistance is reduced due to excessive fatigue, colds, etc., it can induce nephritis, rheumatic fever, tonsillitis, impetigo, scarlet fever, sepsis, etc.

If children's tooth decay is not treated in time, it will affect the child's image and even his or her life. There will be more setbacks in life, and I hope adults can pay attention to this. In addition, you don’t have to wait until a cavity grows out to be treated; prevention is the key. We also need to develop good living habits to truly prevent the formation of tooth decay. I hope all the children grow up healthily.
