People's teeth undergo two stages of growth. The first stage is the eruption of baby teeth, which promote babies' intake of complementary foods and promote their physical growth and development. Most babies in this stage do not have the awareness of protecting their teeth. If many parents do not have a good guiding consciousness, it can lead to various problems with baby teeth. So, what should we do if a one year old baby has cavities?
What to do if a one year old baby has cavities
1. If a baby around one year old is found to have cavities, specific treatment should be made based on whether there are obvious pain and discomfort symptoms. Parents should actively help their babies clean their teeth.
2. Attention should be paid to adding less foods with high sugar content to the baby's diet. At the same time, after each meal, the baby's teeth should be cleaned to avoid the continuous development and damage of cavities.
3. If the baby's tooth decay develops rapidly and is very serious, it is necessary to seek targeted treatment from a dentist at a dental clinic to avoid affecting the growth and development of the baby's permanent teeth in the future.
How many teeth should a one year old child have
1. The timing of a baby's teething depends on each individual's specific situation. Some babies have their baby teeth erupting around 4 months old, but most babies start teething after 6 months.
2. Most babies' teeth grow between 4 months and 1 year old, which is considered normal. Even if a 1-year-old baby has not yet started to grow teeth, as long as there are no other developmental abnormalities in the body, it is still a normal phenomenon.
A one year old baby with cavities should pay attention to strengthening oral hygiene and cleanliness. At the same time, parents should try to minimize the addition of high sugar ingredients in their baby's diet, especially after each meal, and maintain the habit of cleaning their teeth as much as possible. After severe pain or damage occurs in a baby's tooth decay, it is important to have a dentist repair or treat it according to the actual situation to avoid affecting the growth and development of permanent teeth.
