What should I do if my child has a tooth cavity?

Teeth are important organs that help people chew food, but children's teeth are fragile and easily damaged. They will form cavities under the corrosion of large amounts of candy and soda. Some children can easily replace these cavities during the tooth replacement period, while some children can only allow cavities to grow because the tooth replacement period has passed. Today I will talk to you about the problem of tooth decay in children who have passed the tooth replacement period.

Tooth decay is caused by unclean oral hygiene. Food residues ferment in the spaces between teeth, producing acids that destroy the tooth enamel and form cavities, causing symptoms such as toothache and swollen gums.

As a bacterial infectious disease, the biggest characteristic of tooth decay is its rapid development. Once a tooth has a cavity, a large hole will appear in a week or two, and it will soon spread one after another. Therefore, young mothers must often let their children open their mouths to check whether they have cavities. If so, and it is not serious, they must be treated early.

If you wait until your child complains of toothache all day before treating it, it will cause more trouble. If the symptoms of tooth decay are mild, the treatment goal can be achieved through grinding or repair. If the baby's tooth decay is severe and has caused tooth defects, filling can be used. If the crown is severely damaged, it can be treated with inlays or full crown restorations depending on the condition.

method:

1. You can use gauze to dip water on your fingertips and then clean your mouth, or let your child rinse his mouth in time after eating.

2. Let her brush her teeth with a toothbrush on a regular basis. Gradually, she will develop a habit of brushing her teeth in the morning and evening. Brushing her teeth will help with tooth decay.

3. If you have tooth decay, go to the dentist for regular check-ups. If the condition is relatively minor, just strengthen oral hygiene. If it is serious, you will need to go to the hospital for further treatment.

If your child already has cavities, I hope that as a parent you can patiently help your child, correct his brushing method, let him develop the habit of rinsing his mouth frequently, and receive treatment from a professional dentist as soon as possible. If your child does not have cavities, I hope that as a parent you can take your child for regular dental check-ups, and I hope that my advice can help you.
