Many children always complain of toothache, and when parents and friends check their children's teeth, they find that they have cavities. In fact, it is necessary to treat cavities in children in a timely manner, otherwise it will bring a lot of harm. So, what are the hazards of cavities in children?
1. Infection. If a child's tooth decay is not treated in a timely manner, it can easily cause periodontal disease, leading to other oral problems, and in severe cases, it can lead to systemic infections. In addition, if dental inflammation is severe, it may also affect the development of permanent teeth, ultimately leading to incomplete development of permanent teeth.
2. Uneven facial development. If a child has cavities, especially on one side, in order to avoid toothache, they often choose the other side when chewing food. Over time, this can lead to uneven facial development, ultimately resulting in a situation where one side of the face is larger and the other is smaller, which has a significant impact on the child's appearance.
3. Endangering mental health. For children with cavities, they usually dare not speak up because they are afraid of being ridiculed by others. Over time, this can affect the child's social and language abilities, and ultimately may affect their mental health, leading to a self deprecating and introverted personality.
4. Affects development. Children with cavities often experience toothache symptoms. If left untreated, it can affect their appetite, leading to a decrease in appetite and chewing function. Over time, it can lead to malnutrition and ultimately affect their growth and development.
