What should I do if my child's teeth are rotten?

Some parents tend to spoil their babies when taking care of them, and do not control their sugar intake. As a result, the children's molars can easily rot. If a child's molars rot, it will affect the child's physical health and may also affect the child's appearance. Therefore, parents must pay attention to it, take their children to the oral department for examination in time, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

What should I do if my child's teeth are rotten?

1. The rotten molars of children are actually caused by tooth decay, and the teeth should be filled in time. When children develop tooth decay, parents should take them to the hospital to check their teeth as soon as possible. If the teeth can be filled, they should try to do so.

2. If the child's broken teeth cannot be filled, the child should be urged to maintain good oral hygiene. The child should rinse his mouth immediately after each meal and brush his teeth carefully every morning and evening to slow down the tooth decay and wait until the child's teeth are replaced.

3. Pay attention to your child’s teeth. If tooth decay causes toothache, or if you find abscesses on the gums, seek medical attention immediately.

3. If a child's teeth are severely decayed, they may need to be extracted. If the molars of a child in the deciduous dentition period are severely decayed, the growth of the tooth roots will also be affected, and the teeth that grow out in the future may be unsightly, or even unable to grow teeth, which is more serious. Therefore, if the molars are severely decayed, they should be extracted in time, and the doctor's advice should be sought for specific details.

What is dental caries?

Commonly known as tooth decay, tooth decay is a bacterial disease that can lead to pulpitis and apical periodontitis, and even cause inflammation of the alveolar bone and jawbone. If not treated promptly, the lesions will continue to develop, forming caries holes, and eventually the crown of the tooth will be completely destroyed and disappear. The ultimate result of its development is tooth loss. The characteristics of dental caries are high incidence and wide distribution. It is a common oral disease and one of the most common diseases in humans. The World Health Organization has listed it as one of the three major preventable diseases in humans, along with tumors and cardiovascular diseases.

Can dental caries be filled?

The purpose of caries treatment is to stop the disease process and restore the inherent morphology and function of the teeth. Drug treatment is a method of using drugs to inhibit the development of caries on the basis of grinding away caries. It is suitable for shallow caries in permanent teeth that have not yet formed cavities, and shallow and medium caries cavities in deciduous front teeth. Commonly used drugs include silver nitrate and sodium fluoride. For teeth that have already formed substantial defects, filling surgery is currently the most widely used and most effective method. The basic process can be divided into two steps: first remove the carious tissue and the weak tooth tissue that has lost its support, and then make the cavity into a reasonable shape according to certain requirements. Then it is filled with filling materials to restore its inherent shape and function. Suitable for filling cavities in back teeth and hidden areas of front teeth.
