Teeth are very important for babies, and mothers all hope that their babies have healthy and neat teeth. However, in daily life, many babies have decayed teeth due to inadequate oral hygiene or frequent consumption of sweets. So, can the remaining roots of the baby's front teeth be repaired?
Baby's front teeth decay, leaving only the roots, usually occurring in babies aged 2-3 years old. At this stage, babies love to drink milk or sleep with a bottle, which can easily cause dental caries. After the occurrence of dental caries, it is possible to go to a regular hospital's dental department for restorative treatment to improve and alleviate symptoms. If only the root of the tooth is left due to decay, it is impossible to perform dental restorations.
There are many reasons that can cause babies to have decayed teeth, the most important of which is the lack of attention to oral hygiene. Failure to rinse their mouth or brush their teeth regularly after meals can leave food residue around their teeth, ultimately leading to tooth decay. In addition, babies who frequently eat high sugar foods such as cakes, candies, chocolates, etc. can also cause their teeth to decay.
To give your baby healthy teeth, mothers should help them clean their teeth regularly, encourage them to have the good habit of brushing their teeth early before bedtime, and strictly control their intake of sweets. If your baby experiences toothache, mothers should not ignore it and take them for dental checkups in a timely manner.
