What to do if a four-year-old child has tooth decay

Some people also call tooth decay cavities. Every time we eat, the remaining food will react with the bacteria in the dental plaque to produce an acidic substance. This acidic substance can easily corrode the teeth, especially for children around four years old who do not pay attention to the protection of their teeth and love to eat sweets. This will easily lead to tooth decay over time. So what should we do if children have tooth decay?

1. Cultivate good oral hygiene habits in children. For example, develop the habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, and rinsing your mouth with water after each meal.

2. Cultivate good eating habits for children. Eat sweets in moderation and rinse your mouth immediately after eating each sweet to prevent the acid concentration in the mouth from being too high.

3. Use a toothpick to pick up a little Yunnan Baiyao and add a drop of boiling water to make it into a paste. Then dip the toothpick in the Yunnan Baiyao paste and put it into the painful area. Generally, the pain will stop after 3 to 5 minutes.

4. Use biological chewable tablets to care for cavities. It can add a biological protective layer to children's teeth, which can immediately stop the continuation of tooth decay and effectively prevent the occurrence of new tooth decay. Long-term use can also regulate the acid-base balance in the oral cavity and fundamentally eliminate the occurrence of tooth decay. Extracted from natural plants, it is very safe for children. The tablets are relatively large. If the child is too young to chew or hold them in his mouth, you can mix them with water to make a paste and apply it directly on the surface of the decayed teeth. Then rinse the mouth with clean water after 10 minutes.

Children will have toothaches when they have cavities. Many parents may not know what to do for a while when they see how painful it is. If the pain is severe, it is best to go to a children's hospital to avoid delaying the best treatment time for the child. In addition, you should also pay attention to daily dental care, so as to fundamentally relieve the child's pain and let the child have healthy teeth.
