Dental caries in children is not uncommon. Some children have poor resistance and immunity, and if they do not pay attention to their diet, eat too much sweet food, or have poor oral hygiene habits, it is easy to form dental caries. Dental caries not only make children feel uncomfortable, but also bring certain harm to their health. So, is anesthesia necessary for the treatment of dental caries in children?
Whether anesthesia is needed for the treatment of dental caries in children depends on the specific situation. Many children may experience fear during dental caries treatment, and it should be tailored to different age groups. If the child is younger and has lower cooperation, anesthesia should be administered to allow the child to relax as much as possible, in order to avoid psychological damage to the child.
When a child's caries are deep, anesthesia is also necessary to prevent the child from being unable to bear the pain during the process. If the caries are shallow, certain treatment methods can be used to reduce the child's fear, so anesthesia is not necessary.
Filling therapy is a commonly used method for children with dental caries, which mainly involves removing the damaged tissue from the teeth, and then performing relevant cleaning and disinfection work. Filling materials are used to fill the teeth, which can help restore the teeth to their original shape and prevent further damage to the dental tissue.
