What should children do with tooth decay and how to prevent tooth decay?

Mild tooth decay

The initial treatment of tooth decay is the best, but there is no pain in the initial stage of tooth decay. When it is discovered in time, you can choose the right material to fill the cavity. First, remove the damaged tissue around the cavity, and then fill it with appropriate materials, which can restore the integrity of the tooth surface and prevent the tooth decay from continuing.

Moderate tooth decay

In the middle stage of tooth decay, you will feel toothache when eating, and you will be very sensitive to sweet and sour food. At this time, root canal therapy should be used. Root canal therapy is to remove the necrotic substances in the root canal, carry out proper disinfection, fill the root canal, and then close the caries cavity, which can effectively treat the middle-stage decayed teeth.

Severe tooth decay

Tooth decay in the late stage of tooth decay will be particularly obvious, causing severe pain and unbearable pain. The dental pulp is infected by bacteria, and the bacteria even spread from the dental pulp to the nearby periodontal tissue through the root part, causing inflammation or abscess. In this case, only the cavities can be removed.

How to prevent tooth decay

Brush your teeth/teeth

Brushing teeth is the simplest and most effective oral health care method. To this end, parents should always urge their children to brush their teeth and maintain oral hygiene. If you can't brush your teeth immediately after meals or snacks, you must rinse your mouth to remove most food residues, because these food residues are the cause of various oral diseases. In addition, children should be encouraged to eat foods rich in fiber, which helps to clean teeth. You can also go to the hospital for consultation or do some dental care, such as pit and fissure sealing and fluoride mouthwash, which are effective ways to prevent tooth decay.

Take the initiative to check your child's teeth at home.

Parents should always take the initiative to check their children's teeth (they can also check each other themselves). Once the teeth are found to be black or there are abnormal phenomena such as tooth decay and food impaction, you must immediately go to the hospital for further examination and treatment. Because dental diseases, unlike colds and fever, generally do not heal themselves, and there is no oral medicine to cure them. They can only relieve symptoms at best.

Active treatment

Actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, because once the teeth have neurological symptoms, the treatment process is more complicated, usually three or four times a course of treatment, and each time there is a certain time limit.

If parents don't cooperate seriously, they often turn minor illnesses into serious ones and finally have to be removed.

Go to the hospital for regular check-ups.

No matter how good the prevention is, there will always be a small amount of tooth decay, so it is best to go to the children's dental examination in the stomatological hospital every six months, as long as it takes a few minutes. The problems found by doctors are basically early problems, and most of them can be cured at one time, which can save a lot of time and energy.

Educate children on dental care.

Educate children, reduce their fear of medical treatment, and don't intimidate children by seeing a doctor.

Harm of children's tooth decay

It is normal for children to suffer from tooth decay, because children don't know how to protect their teeth, and they all like to eat sugar. Although some children can brush their teeth, most of them are not serious, which leads to tooth decay. Many parents think it is normal for their children to suffer from tooth decay, even if their deciduous teeth are decayed. Anyway, they need to change their teeth. Just take good care of them after changing their teeth.

In fact, this idea is very wrong, because children's tooth decay is very harmful to children's health, which will seriously lead to facial deformation and even cause serious diseases.

Once the child is found to have cavities, parents should take the child to the hospital for treatment in time. Because the harm of children's tooth decay is not only reflected locally, but also affects children's overall health:

Secondary to other dental diseases.

Tooth decay can develop into pulpitis, periapical periodontitis, odontogenic cyst or interstitial infection. Periapical periodontitis of deciduous teeth can also spread to permanent teeth, resulting in hypoplasia of hard tissue of permanent teeth.

Cause infectious diseases.

When children's tooth decay causes periapical infection, it often becomes the focus of infection and causes systemic infection.

Related diseases include vision loss, arthritis, nephritis, myocarditis, long-term low fever and so on.

Cause facial development asymmetry.

Tooth cavity pain causes children to develop unilateral chewing habits, which easily leads to asymmetric facial development over time.

Maxillofacial deformity.

Primary teeth are chewing organs in childhood, and the stimulation of chewing function can promote the normal development of jaws.

Without this normal physiological stimulation, the normal development of the jaw will be affected, which may lead to maxillofacial deformities.

Affect growth and development.

Because of the pain of tooth decay and the early shedding of deciduous teeth, it will lead to the decline of chewing function, the weakening of gastrointestinal digestion and absorption capacity, leading to malnutrition, thus affecting the growth and development of children.

Cause psychological barriers.

Babies are the period when children learn languages. Complete deciduous teeth help children to master correct pronunciation, while dental caries and premature deciduous teeth will make children's pronunciation unclear. The serious caries in the anterior teeth area of deciduous teeth make some children ashamed to speak, which is also unfavorable to their psychological development.

The baby will be very distressed at birth, which makes many parents very helpless. What is the cause of newborn crying? Today, I'm going to tell you why newborns cry.

Causes of neonatal crying

In the first case, when the baby is found crying all the time, pale and wants to vomit, or if blood or mucus is found in the feces, it may be intussusception, and the baby should be sent to the doctor immediately.

In the second case, when the baby is found crying, the foot will retract in the direction of the stomach, which usually means that the baby has a stomachache. For example, some of the most common intestines have roundworms and intestinal spasms, so it is necessary to seek medical attention in time.

The third situation is that a baby who is used to sleeping while breastfeeding may cry because he has inhaled a lot of air and can't fight it.

The fourth situation is that when the baby feels feverish, he will cry when moving his ears, shaking his head or spitting milk. It may be that the baby has otitis media, and some emotionally unstable babies will stop breathing for a few seconds when they suddenly get sick. This situation is usually just a sudden attack.

In the fifth case, when changing diapers, the baby is found crying and accompanied by fever, which may be osteoarthritis. You should see a doctor at once.

The sixth situation is that the baby is still quiet when lying in bed. As long as it is picked up, it will cry at once. At this time, it is necessary to consider whether the baby suffers from limb pain, such as dislocation and sprain of bones and joints.

The seventh situation is that the baby cries when defecating, so it is necessary to pay attention to whether the baby has anal fissure, constipation, or urethritis.

The eighth situation is that the baby cries at night. Generally speaking, it may be that the baby is too hot, too cold, sleepy, thirsty, itchy skin, stuck by something, or rickets and pinworm are the most common reasons for the baby to cry at night.

The ninth situation is that the baby who simply eats breast milk will cry irregularly, spit milk, have more buttocks, have more stools and have loose bowels every day. Mothers should consider whether the baby's digestive discomfort is caused by improper choice of milk powder, so it is necessary to consider changing the formula for the baby.

sell what one has bought

Sometimes, babies just like to be angry. If you are always coaxed by your mother, it is difficult to get used to your mother's arms.

At this time, you can change into a hug from your father. It might be useful if your father comes to power. In an unfamiliar environment, the baby will gradually become quiet out of curiosity or fear, and the crying will disappear.

Babies like new things. When new things appear, they will be distracted. Dad's arms are stronger. He is the shelter from the wind. Changing hands can make the baby feel fresh.

Touch the baby's neck with your nose.

Sometimes, when the baby has been crying, and the mother can't do anything about it, she can't even hug it, and her back is not right, the mother can try to touch the baby's neck with her nose.

The neck is a sensitive position for the baby, which will make the baby feel itchy. At the same time, if you ignite your baby's curiosity, you will forget to cry and giggle.

Babies love the loving touch of their parents. Touching with the nose can not only make the baby feel fresh, but also be one of the channels for the baby to communicate closely with his parents, and the baby can feel the deep love of his parents.

Change your posture in a strange way.

You can also try to let the baby lie face down on the mother's arm, and then the mother holds the baby's face with her palm. Be careful not to make the baby's face too hard, otherwise it will cause unnecessary harm;

Then gently shake it with your left hand and gently touch your baby's back with your right hand. When the field of vision suddenly changes, it will make the baby feel very novel, thus making him forget to cry.

Babies are always excited about new experiences. Usually a lying baby's face and eyes are looking up. I don't know what the world on the ground is like. I don't know what it feels like to look down. Changing a strange posture can make the baby have different visual feelings. You will find that some people like to hold their babies high when playing with them. The babies were not afraid, but smiled happily. That's because the baby feels that he has a new experience.

Listen to the sound of running water

When the baby is crying, parents can also listen to the sound of running water. Imagine the picture of flowing water, and you will feel very quiet. The sound of running water has a special charm, and the baby will be attracted by the sound of running water and forget to cry. If the baby has been crying until there is no way, you can try this method.

Soft and small sounds can soothe the baby's fidgety heart, and the sound of running water will make the baby feel very comfortable and natural. This is a unique lullaby. In order to prevent wasting water, you can use the radio to make a sound and let the baby listen at close range.

Blow on the baby's forehead (parents don't have colds or other diseases)

Mom and dad can also try to blow gently on the baby's forehead continuously, and the baby will blink and take a deep breath immediately. After repeating it several times, he will forget why he is crying. Freshness, the feeling of wind blowing, cool and comfortable. As long as other events happen, the baby can't concentrate on two things at the same time, so he will forget to cry. Blowing your forehead will distract your baby.

Of course, if you choose this method to stop crying, mom and dad must make sure they don't have a cold or other infectious diseases, and put the baby's health first. When the baby is crying, the mother must patiently find the reason and give full comfort, so as to really calm the child down.
