How to treat children's dental caries? Let's talk about it.

How is infantile caries treated?

1、 Drug treatment: the adjacent caries of deciduous incisors, deciduous canines and deciduous molars can be smeared with ammoniated silver nitrate, dried, and then reduced to black with clove oil, which can be repeated several times.

2、 Filling (commonly known as filling): the carious tissue will be removed and made into a certain hole shape. After cleaning and disinfection, the filling material will be used to fill in the initial stage and restore the shape of the tooth defect. The aging can not continue to develop. The filling effect of shallow caries is the best. In the treatment of medium and deep caries, after removing the carious tissue, sometimes the bottom of the cavity is close to the pulp, so a layer of pulp protector should be added to the bottom of the cavity to fill the initial cavity. Sometimes the pulp of deep caries will be exposed after removing the carious tissue, so we need to take pulp treatment first, and then we can fill the initial cavity. The filling materials are mainly amalgam or composite filling resin. The primary teeth can be filled with glass ionomer cement (temporary filling material) for changing teeth.

3、 In fact, if there is no feeling after the child's pacification treatment, after two weeks, the child can be given further filling treatment. It depends on the child's cooperation degree. Because the child is very young, parents must actively educate the child to cooperate with the treatment.
