Tooth decay in children

Because of not paying attention to teeth care and eating sweets frequently, teeth will cause ulcers and corrosion. Many children's teeth will have small black holes, and some may even turn black. Therefore, you must first do a good job of prevention every day. The first brushing can clean out the dirt in the teeth. Do not eat any food containing sugar, and go to the hospital regularly for teeth cleaning.

Introduction Dental plaque dissolves calcium and phosphorus in tooth enamel, forming small holes, which is the beginning of tooth decay. Dental caries is very harmful to human health and in severe cases can lead to systemic infection.

When tooth decay begins and is left untreated, the acid breaks down the enamel and damages the dentin underneath. Dentin contains tiny canals that lead to the pulp, and bacteria can eventually inflame the pulp. The body responds by sending more white blood cells to the pulp to fight the bacteria. The blood vessels around the teeth expand to accommodate the extra blood and white blood cells. The enlarged blood vessels press on the nerves that go to the teeth, causing toothache. Acid can also enter the nerves and cause toothache. This is particularly true when the erosion reaches the nerve endings in the tooth. If a large number of bacteria invade the pulp cavity, the nerve of the tooth may die, and even white blood cells will be useless in fighting the infection. By this time, the toothache is gone, but an abscess may have formed. Symptoms There are usually no symptoms in the early stages of corrosion.

Countermeasures : 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.
