Do young children need treatment for tooth decay, and how to treat children s tooth decay best

Hello, first of all, you need to **yes.

Because the primary front teeth should be used until at least six years old, and the other back teeth should be used last until the age of twelve or thirteen.

In general, primary molars normally decay the most and are the teeth that have been used for the longest time.

If the child has no pain at present, it can be temporarily not treated, parents help to do a good job of oral hygiene in daily life, which can delay the rate of decay, if the pain has begun, it is recommended to go to a regular oral medical institution for treatment, preferably a professional pediatric dentist.

Generally, children after the age of four are easier to deal with, because children already have a certain degree of understanding and cooperation, and younger ones are more difficult**.

Based on the limitation of the use time of baby teeth, in general, pulp preservation is not done**, and the nerve is deactivated first and then filled.

Therefore, children's dental disease is focused on prevention, and once there is a problem, it is often done to kill nerves**.

Hello! Tooth decay in young children needs to be done as early as possible, because tooth decay in young children is first of all due to their young age, and they will not cooperate with the doctor very much. Tooth decay in young children does not develop early** faster than that of adults, and if it is not timely**, it will cause nerve necrosis, leading to apical inflammation and even more serious diseases. If the caries of young children is not broken in time, it will affect the replacement of teeth, so it must be done as soon as possible.

How is it best for children to have tooth decay1.Tooth decay occurs in babies, mainly because of poor oral hygiene, so there are more bacteria in the mouth, which is easy to cause tooth decay and tooth decay. ** The oral cavity will be cleaned first, and the caries will be cleaned before the necessary repair.

2.After the initial cleaning treatment of the oral cavity, it is necessary to repair the tooth decay, if it is a shallow caries or mild to moderate caries, generally after a comprehensive cleaning and disinfection, a simple filling repair can be done.

3.Moderate and deep caries, and when food impaction is frequent and painful, it is an indication that tooth decay is close to the nerve site of the tooth. For this type of tooth decay, a bottom pad is performed and then a restorative filling is performed as a normal filling.

4.If the baby's tooth decay has occurred apical periodontitis or pulpitis, the situation is severe, and root canals are required, and there is a certain difference between the root canal of baby teeth and the root canal of permanent teeth. And to restore the baby's teeth, it is generally necessary to use absorbable materials for filling.

After teeth**, it is necessary to pay attention to oral hygiene care.

What to do if your child has tooth decay1. Cold compress.

The best thing to do is to have your child rinse their mouth with cold water and then apply a cold compress to the face area corresponding to tooth decay with an ice pack, which can be of great help to toothache.

2. Remove tooth decay.

If the child's baby teeth have cavities and are particularly painful, then the baby teeth can be removed in advance, so that they will not hurt anymore. Another benefit of tooth decay removal is to prevent other teeth from developing cavities, as there will be more gaps between teeth after tooth decay, which will provide a more reputable hiding place for germs, which will speed up the rate at which other teeth will develop cavities.

3. Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth on time.

Children should pay attention to good hygiene habits and brush their teeth and rinse their mouths regularly. Children should not brush their teeth until the age of three, but parents should cultivate a good habit of rinsing their mouths after meals.

How to prevent toothache in children1. Let your child brush his teeth every day, brush his teeth three minutes after meals, and insist on three minutes of brushing each time.

2. You can buckle your teeth several times a day, thirty-six times is once, each time the upper and lower teeth are bumped, if the upper and lower teeth can not be touched together when biting, then the molars are mainly used, and the molars are bumped thirty-six times.

3. To clean your teeth, you should go to the hospital to clean your teeth, preferably once every six months or once a year.

4. Usually eat a light diet, don't always eat sweets, and eat more foods that are good for your teeth, such as milk, celery and other foods.

For many children, picking up snacks, may not be able to stop their mouths from morning to night, and if they don't pay attention, they will hurt the mouth, resulting in a mouth full of tooth decay. They often have doubts, and some elders say that baby teeth have to be replaced after all, and if they have tooth decay now, won't they be better when they get new teeth? If there is tooth decay in the baby teeth, is there really no need for **?

Citizen: I don't think it's okay, what is there to worry about if this baby tooth is broken, recently, my child now has two cavities, and the child does not hurt or affect his eating, so I don't care about his teeth.

Citizens: If the baby teeth are broken, they are generally left unattended, and when the baby teeth fall out, the permanent teeth will naturally erupt.

Citizen: I think we should still pay attention to it, because baby teeth are a tool for children to eat, or we should protect baby teeth more, if the baby teeth do not grow well, it will also leave hidden dangers for replacing permanent teeth in the future.

Bao Lili, a pediatric practitioner at the Zhoushan Branch of Yinbo Dental Hospital: This statement is definitely wrong. Because if the baby tooth is found to be decayed, it is what we call tooth decay, which will cause severe pain when it affects the inflammation of the tooth nerve, and then if it is still not **, it continues to be inflamed, affecting the root tooth, causing inflammation below, which is what we call apical inflammation.

It will form swollen gums and swollen face, which will affect the child's normal chewing, sleep, and normal daily life.

The doctor told us that long-term decay of baby teeth will not only affect the child's chewing function, hinder nutrient intake, cause growth and development to be affected, but also affect the normal development of permanent teeth, because normal baby teeth are the eruption of permanent teeth, when the baby teeth are damaged or missing prematurely, the adjacent teeth will shift to occupy this position, resulting in abnormal eruption of replacement permanent teeth or even difficult to erupt.

Pediatric Practitioner Bao Lili, Zhoushan Branch of Ningbo Dental Hospital:

It seems that after the child's baby teeth appear cavities, they also need to be treated as soon as possible, once they are allowed to develop, they will even affect the health of the child's whole body.

In the interview, some parents also said that they usually pay more attention to their children's oral hygiene, but unconsciously, their children still have tooth decay, why is this?

Pediatric Practitioner Bao Lili, Zhoushan Branch of Ningbo Dental Hospital:

So how should we protect and clean children's mouths?

Bao Lili, pediatric practitioner of Ningbo Dental Hospital Zhoushan Branch: The child begins to grow the first baby tooth about 6 months old, and from that time on, he will begin to clean his mouth on time, do not wait until he is two years old, 3 years old, 4 years old and then brush his teeth, and parents should help the child develop a good oral habits, try to control him to eat sweets and drinks, put an end to night feeding, and then regularly bring the child to the hospital for oral examination at 3 to 6 months; If parents find that there is a little sign of tooth decay in the child's mouth, such as a little black dot, they must take him to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, so as to detect it early.

Tooth decay is caused by the erosion of the crown in the acidic environment of the oral cavity for a long time, coupled with poor eating habits or oral hygiene habits. Loose teeth are definitely caused by gum recession, which is different from the cause of tooth decay.

The pain caused by tooth decay is usually pulpitis, that is, the bacteria invade the root of the tooth through the cavity and cause inflammation of the tooth nerve.

Gum recession is caused by the dysfunction of nutrient metabolism in the gums, and if left unchecked, the consequences are more severe, and the tooth is lost directly, resulting in tooth loss.

After the inflammation and pain relief and the tooth is not loosened, if the tooth cavity is large, you should go to the hospital in time to fill the tooth, so that the pain will not recur, and the tooth will be saved.
