Every child loves to eat candy very much and cannot resist any candy or sweet food. Often, candy can have a certain impact on teeth, especially for very young children who are more prone to tooth decay. Therefore, parents are very worried that it may affect the growth of their children's teeth. So, what should be done if a 2-year-old baby has tooth decay? Let's learn about it together!
What to do if a 2-year-old baby has cavities
1. Mild insect bite: The initial treatment for dental caries is the best, but there are no pain symptoms in the early stages of caries. After timely detection, suitable materials can be selected to fill the cavity.
2. Moderate insect bite: In the second stage of tooth decay, it will feel toothache when eating, and it is very sensitive to sweet and sour foods. At this time, root canal treatment should be used. Root canal therapy is the removal of necrotic material from the root canal.
3. Severe insect bite: In the later stage of tooth decay, tooth decay is particularly obvious, causing severe pain and unbearable pain. Dental pulp is infected and necrotic by bacteria, and bacteria can even spread from the pulp to the surrounding periodontal tissue, causing inflammation or abscess. In this case, only extraction of cavities can be performed.
How to prevent dental caries
1. Encourage eating candy before meals or when drinking water. It is best to add fresh fruits, vegetables, milk, juice, cookies or foods such as walnuts, chestnuts, and popcorn between two meals.
2. Children should eat candy 1-2 times a day, and their quantity should be controlled at the same time. Otherwise, if children have sugar in their mouths for too long, it will not only limit the neutralizing effect of saliva chemicals on bacterial acid production, but also promote the growth of bacteria in the mouth.
3. Tea has the effect of protecting teeth, especially for children, and can be used as a medication to prevent dental caries.
What should I do if my 2-year-old baby has cavities? Children love to eat snacks when they are very young, and many snacks are desserts, so tooth decay can occur, especially when children are one or two years old. If a child's tooth decay is severe, it may have an impact on the body, so parents must treat their baby in a timely manner.
