It is natural for babies to love to eat, especially young ones who have a curiosity about any food and want to try any flavor. Actually, it's okay for babies to eat, but taking care of their teeth after eating is particularly important. Because more and more babies are suffering from tooth decay, causing toothache. So, let's take a look at how to deal with a baby's tooth decay pain?
What should I do if my baby has tooth decay pain
1. Ice compress: Using ice compress to help babies relieve the pain caused by toothache. The method of ice compress is a way to numb the nerves in the baby's teeth to alleviate pain.
2. Saltwater: Saltwater has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The appearance of toothache is caused by swelling of the nerves inside the baby's teeth. At this time, the baby can rinse their mouth with salt water to relieve their toothache.
3. Garlic: For babies with tooth decay and toothache, parents can take some garlic and chop it into small pieces, placing it in the area where the baby has tooth decay, which can also alleviate the pain caused by tooth decay.
Does a baby's tooth decay need treatment
Many people believe that it doesn't matter whether a baby's tooth decay is cured or not, because their baby teeth will eventually need to be replaced. This is a wrong idea.
According to authoritative data, if a baby's cavities are not treated properly before tooth replacement, the proportion of cavities after tooth replacement can reach over 95%. This way, the baby will be troubled by tooth decay for the rest of their life. So it is essential to cure cavities before changing teeth.
A large part of the reason for babies' tooth decay is due to their love for sweets. After eating sweets, they do not clean their teeth and mouth properly, so tooth decay is formed in this way. Once a baby is found to have cavities, parents must take them to the dental department for examination and appropriate treatment in a timely manner. Do not let the baby suffer from the pain of cavities, and lay a foundation for the baby to have good teeth in the future.
