Children’s cavities

Children’s cavities

Treating cavities in baby teeth is very important, because these teeth are used for chewing and speaking, and they guide the position of the permanent teeth.

Treating baby teeth isessentialfor several reasons

  • Baby teeth play a crucial role in chewing food and in speech.
  • They act as space holders and guide the alignment of permanent teeth.
  • An untreated cavity can affect the permanent tooth underneath and lead to other complications.
  • Losing baby teeth too early can lead to problems with chewing, speech, and the development of permanent teeth.

It’s important to teach children about oral hygiene from an early age and show them how to brush their teeth properly.

Here are thestepsof cavity prevention

  1. Supervised brushing

    Help your child brush until they’re old enough to do it on their own, using a fluoride toothpaste suited to their age.

  2. Healthy eating

    Limit sugar and avoid sugary drinks or snacks between meals and at night, since frequent snacking increases the risk of cavities.

  3. Regular checkups

    Have your child’s oral hygiene checked by a dentist or dental hygienist. Once the permanent molars come in, ask whether fissure sealants are recommended.

When the structure of the tooth is compromised, the cavity is treated with a composite or glass ionomer filling. If the decay is advanced, the tooth’s roots may need treatment, or the tooth may need to be extracted.
