What should I do if my child’s tooth is broken?

Many children will experience broken teeth as they grow up, which causes great trouble to parents. In fact, there are certain reasons for children's broken teeth. When a baby grows a tooth, he needs to develop good brushing habits. If he does not pay attention to oral hygiene, it is easy to cause children's teeth to break. Let me tell you some reasons why children's teeth are broken.

Once your baby's first tooth appears, it's important to develop a habit of cleaning the teeth. You need to use a soft-bristled baby toothbrush to help your baby clean his teeth twice a day, morning and evening.

5. What should I do if the root of my deciduous tooth is broken?

For babies who are learning to walk unsteadily, the chance of tooth injury is very high. Generally speaking, when a baby's deciduous teeth are broken, we must first determine where the teeth are broken. The front teeth are usually the most prone to breakage.

1) If the tooth is broken at the root, pay attention to the degree of tooth mobility. If the tooth is only slightly shaking, you can leave it in your mouth and continue to observe; if the tooth has shifted or is shaking greatly, it needs to be completely extracted.

2) In some cases, when the root of the deciduous tooth is broken, but a small section deep inside the gum remains, there is no need to dig it out and remove it, because it will be absorbed slowly.

6. Is it necessary to treat caries in deciduous teeth? —— It must be treated!

Many parents have this misconception: since baby teeth will be replaced anyway, it doesn’t matter if they have cavities. Parents who think this way are totally wrong. Caries in primary teeth can also cause pain, and children are unable to chew, which affects digestion. It will also affect the development and eruption of subsequent permanent teeth, cause tooth replacement disorders, and even affect jaw development.

The above are some dental phenomena that are easy to occur in children during their growth process. I believe that after reading this, all mothers will have a great understanding of children’s oral problems. Children’s hygiene must be developed from an early age. This will be better for the child’s future oral health and can also prevent the occurrence of oral diseases.
