Childhood Cavities
Baby teeth: much more than chewing
Baby teeth are the main guide for permanent teeth to come out correctly.
A cavity is an infectious "sugar-dependent" disease. If not detected in time (white spot), it can destroy the tooth in a short time.
"If a childhood cavity is detected in the first stage, it is very likely to be reversed."
Main cause Demineralizes enamel
White spot is the first reversible sign
When to put braces on children?
The malleability of bones in childhood allows correcting malocclusions easily. Watch these indicators:
- Thumb sucking
- Prolonged use of bottle and/or pacifier
- Early or late loss of baby teeth
- Crowded or poorly fitting teeth
- Disproportionate jaws or teeth
- Biting cheeks or palate
Important note:
The answer is again prevention. Only through regular visits can growth be assessed and acted upon timely.
FAQ
Questions about Kids Dentist
Why is it important to treat baby teeth if they are going to fall out?
Baby teeth are fundamental for chewing, speaking correctly, and above all, for saving space and guiding permanent teeth. An infection in a baby tooth can negatively affect the permanent tooth forming underneath.
When should I start brushing my child's teeth?
From the appearance of the first tooth. Initially, a damp gauze or soft silicone brush can be used, and as more pieces come out, introduce brushing with toothpaste with the recommended amount of fluoride according to their age.
Does my child need sedation to treat a cavity?
At Clínica Koral we are specialists in behavior management techniques. Thanks to our care and experience, we treat preschool-aged children without the need for sedation in the vast majority of cases, creating a positive experience.
Does pacifier use deform teeth?
Prolonged use (beyond 2 years) can affect palate development and tooth position. Ideally, it should be progressively withdrawn between one and a half and two years to avoid bone malformations.
What should I do if my child breaks a tooth in a fall?
Stay calm and contact us immediately. If it is a permanent tooth and it has come out entirely, keep it in milk or saliva and come to the clinic in less than an hour; the possibilities of saving it are much higher.
