Do children need to have their cavities filled?

If a child has a cavity in his tooth, it must be filled in time. Children are relatively young, and if there is a problem with their teeth, it will have a great impact on their future health. Not only will it affect the appearance of the teeth, but it will also have an adverse effect on the child's growth and development. Of course, if the child has not yet replaced his deciduous teeth, then at this time, just pay attention to oral hygiene. If permanent teeth have already grown, then it is necessary to receive timely treatment.

Just ignore it and wait for its baby teeth to grow out naturally. At this stage, you must handle and protect her teeth carefully. Filling a tooth now will affect his tooth loss in the future.

Can baby bottle tooth decay be filled?

1. If a child's deciduous teeth have cavities, he or she should be taken to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Repair or fill the teeth if possible, and try to keep the teeth intact. Because the cavities are shallow and small, they only need to be filled once, which saves time and costs less. Otherwise, the cavities will grow from small to large and from shallow to deep. This then invades the dental nerve, causing unbearable pain, making it impossible for the child to eat or sleep well, directly affecting the child's learning and physical health. If you seek medical treatment at this time, you will have to go for multiple follow-up visits to recover, and the cost will be high.

2. Caries of deciduous teeth affect children's growth and development, and even cause psychological disorders in children. Once your child is found to have tooth decay, timely treatment is required. Restorative treatment is more thorough and more effective than drug treatment. Because drug treatment cannot restore the tooth's appearance, it only inhibits the progression of caries. When deciduous teeth are decayed, the chewing function may be reduced. When the crowns of multiple teeth are severely damaged, the length of the deciduous crowns may be shortened and the occlusal height may be reduced, which will have an adverse effect on the normal growth and development of the maxillofacial region and the formation of the permanent dentition.

Teeth are made up of three parts. The outer enamel is the hardest and also serves as a protective cover for the teeth. Once you find a hole in your tooth, it means the tooth is damaged. You need to see a dentist in time. Filling is not a long-term solution. Dental health needs to start with daily care and develop a good habit of cleaning your teeth.
