What should I do if my child has cavities?

His parents also came to ask me for advice, but I don't have much experience in this area. I just think it is related to the child's usual living habits and he can go to the dental hospital for treatment. We still need guidance and suggestions from professional doctors in this area. After consulting a doctor, I will tell you what to do if your child has cavities.

What should I do if my child has cavities?

Take your child to a professional dental hospital for pediatric dentistry treatment. For the health of permanent teeth, lesions in deciduous teeth must be treated, because lesions in deciduous teeth will directly affect the development of permanent teeth.

Children need to have their cavities filled, but the tooth nerve does not necessarily have to be killed. If the caries is not close to the dental nerve, you can just fill it up. If the caries has reached the dental nerve, you need root canal treatment, which kills the nerve. If the lesions of deciduous teeth are not treated, it will affect the development of permanent teeth. Always brush your teeth every morning and evening to maintain good oral hygiene

Tooth decay is sometimes also called tooth decay, and its scientific name is caries. The main cause of its formation is dental plaque. Dental plaque is an almost colorless film on the surface of teeth that contains bacteria that cause tooth decay.

Pay attention to your diet, use a deep cleaning toothbrush, and combine it with the correct brushing method to deeply clean the gaps between teeth and the gums to prevent tooth decay.

Generally, symptomatic treatment is given at the dentistry based on the condition, and oral and topical analgesics can be used.

It is best to focus on preventing tooth decay. Brush your teeth regularly.

Cultivate good eating habits in children: (1) Limit snacking to cakes, candies, candied fruits, beverages, etc. (2) Adjust the food structure: less sugar, less caries-causing, more fiber, stronger anti-caries (3) Reasonably arrange meal time, eat on time, rinse mouth and brush teeth after eating.

The causes of tooth decay in children include the habit of brushing teeth morning and evening, improper diet (especially eating too many sweets), and heredity.

Generally, you can tell your children not to eat too much sweet food and brush their teeth in the morning and evening. If tooth decay causes toothache, you can take some cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment.

Children with tooth decay should not be ignored and should be taken to a regular professional dental institution for treatment in a timely manner. Parents of 3-year-old children should start to teach them the correct way to brush their teeth, cultivate their interest in brushing their teeth, and let them develop good oral hygiene habits from an early age.

The above content is about the solutions that can be taken to solve the problem of tooth decay in children. Parents must be careful not to give sweets to their children often.
