What to do if your child's teeth are corroded

Many children often eat sweets and go to bed immediately without rinsing their mouths after eating. Over time, the dirt in the gaps between their teeth will not be completely cleaned away, which will cause the teeth to be corroded over time. Therefore, if a child’s teeth are corroded, parents need to take their children to the hospital for examination in time to prevent it from affecting their acquired dental health.

First of all, prevention is very important. Brush your teeth thoroughly every day to completely remove the dirt between your teeth; eat less sugar and snacks; use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash, and drink fluoridated water; go to the dentist regularly for teeth cleaning and check-ups. In the early stages of the disease, dentists usually clean the cavity right away and fill it with a filling. If the decay is severe, your dentist may perform a root canal procedure to remove the inflamed pulp tissue and fill the root canal. In rare cases, your doctor may remove the diseased tooth.

2. You should choose toothpaste containing high-quality abrasives and a health toothbrush, and brush your teeth in the right way to avoid tooth wear.

3. If you already have mild tooth sensitivity, you can choose a professional anti-sensitive toothpaste, such as Sensodyne anti-sensitive toothpaste to relieve the symptoms.

Avoid going to bed with a bottle of milk, juice, or other sugary liquids, especially for young children, to avoid damaging their teeth.
