How to treat baby tooth decay?

More and more babies are suffering from tooth decay. Most of them are because babies love to eat very much, and parents do not pay much attention to the baby's oral hygiene, so it is easy for babies to get tooth decay, which causes great pain to the babies. Many parents do not know how to treat baby's tooth decay. Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

First, brushing your teeth is the simplest and most effective way to maintain oral health. To achieve this, parents should first urge their children to brush their teeth and maintain oral hygiene regularly. If you cannot brush your teeth immediately after a meal or snack, you must rinse your mouth to remove most of the food debris, because these food debris are the cause of many oral diseases. In addition, children should be encouraged to eat more fiber-rich foods, as fiber can help clean teeth. You can also go to the hospital for consultation or do some health care treatments for your teeth, such as: pit and fissure sealing, fluoride rinses, etc., which are all effective ways to prevent tooth decay.

Second, parents should take the initiative to check their children’s teeth regularly (they can also check each other’s teeth). If you notice that your teeth have become darker or have abnormal phenomena such as cavities or food impaction, you must go to the hospital immediately for further examination and treatment. Because dental disease is not like a cold or fever, it usually does not heal on its own, and there is no oral medication that can cure it. At most, it can only relieve symptoms.

Third, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, because once the teeth have neurological symptoms, the treatment process will be more complicated. Usually a course of treatment requires three to four follow-up visits, and each visit has a certain time limit. If parents do not cooperate seriously, minor illnesses will often turn into major ones and eventually have to be removed.

Fourth, no matter how good the prevention is, there will always be a small amount of cavities, so it is best to go to the pediatric dentistry of a dental specialist hospital for a check-up every six months, which only takes a few minutes. The problems discovered by doctors are basically early-stage problems, and most of them can be cured in one go, saving a lot of time and energy.

Therefore, we must take more precautions in normal times, otherwise it is still very dangerous. The baby's oral hygiene is actually very important. It may not only affect the child's tooth decay problem, but also affect the child's gastrointestinal tract, and it is also likely to cause serious oral ulcers and other oral diseases. All of these are possible. Parents and friends must pay special attention to this.
