Common oral problems in children
1、Dental caries in children
Children's diet is mostly soft food with strong viscosity, high sugar content and easy fermentation and acid production. Children are young and can't brush their teeth well. Food and soft dirt are easy to stay on the tooth surface, while the enamel and dentin of primary teeth are thin, the degree of calcification is low and the acid resistance is weak. These factors lead to high caries rate, early onset and rapid development of primary teeth, and the conscious symptoms are not obvious.
2、Dental pulp disease and periapical disease in children
If the initial caries is not paid enough attention, it will further develop into pulp disease and periapical disease. Severe periapical periodontitis of deciduous teeth will affect the inheritance of permanent tooth germ and make its enamel underdeveloped, that is, Turner teeth will be formed; When the root tip of deciduous teeth is inflamed, it can cause local alveolar bone destruction, abnormal root resorption, residual root retention, etc., so that the eruption of inherited permanent teeth is too early or too late, affecting the eruption sequence and position of permanent teeth, resulting in uneven dentition.
3、 Dental trauma in children
Due to the strong mobility of children, they are often prone to collision and fall injury, which is easy to cause tooth trauma. At this time, it is necessary to see a doctor as soon as possible, especially the completely lost permanent teeth must be retained (contained in the mouth or soaked in milk or clean cold water), and go to the emergency department of stomatology for replantation and fixation.
4、 Retention of deciduous teeth
The child's primary teeth should be retreated, and the formation of double rows of teeth with new permanent teeth is the symptom of retention of primary teeth. Retention of deciduous teeth may lead to tooth deformity, and poor oral hygiene will also increase the probability of dental caries, so most retention of deciduous teeth need to be removed.
For the treatment of children's dental disease, we must find it as soon as possible. The smaller the damage to children's teeth, the simpler the treatment. In order to protect deciduous teeth and young permanent teeth, parents are recommended to take their children for regular inspection to achieve early prevention, early detection and early treatment. Pujing Dental Clinic has been focusing on oral health care and treatment of children aged 0-12, and has an independent children's oral clinic.
