Should milk teeth be treated?

The first children's incisors are covered with a thin layer on top.enamel, which is not well protected from external influence. Excessive consumption of sweets by children, night feedings and the inability of babies to wield themselves well with a brush in their mouth very quickly provoke tooth decay. If it is not noticed and cured in time, the baby tooth will soon collapse as microbes penetrate through its wide dentinal tubules directly into the pulp where the nerves are located. Apart from the pain that occurs at this stage, ignoring caries leads to: • stomach and other organs; • weakening of immunity; • improper development of bite, due to which speech defects develop over time. Despite this list of complications, some parents believe that they can not be treated. Can teeth affected by caries infect healthy incisors? Easily! And this is another reason to cure them in a timely manner. However, are all teeth in preschool children dairy? At the age of 6, in the mouth of the children, “six” or first permanent teeth appear. They are much stronger than dairy ones, but you need to watch them very carefully, because the food most of them get clogged up, they are harder to clean and the “spare” teeth in their place no longer grow.

Do I remove milk teeth?

Another common parental error isdesire to remove a damaged tooth. A trip to the dentist is a tremendous stress for children, so pitiful moms and dads prefer to “marry off” once and calmly wait for the appearance of a permanent tooth. But what kind of teeth can be removed from children? The first children's teeth also have roots that dissolve over time. As a result, the tooth begins to stagger, and in the end, it painlessly falls out. It happens that a tooth is destroyed before its roots dissolve. In this case, anesthesia or even anesthesia will be needed for removal. In any case, only the doctor will decide on the removal, assessing the condition of the tooth and the time during which a permanent tooth will grow in its place. If this does not happen soon, the remaining teeth will move, trying to close the hole in the jaw, and the child will form the wrong bite. Therefore, the answer of the dentists to the question whether they should be removed is clear: only as a last resort. The first children's teeth should be treated, especially since modern dentists do it almost painlessly, often speaking not only by doctors, but also by psychologists, educators and clowns in one person.
