Small Decayed Milk Teeth? Cannot be Ignored, Doctors Recommend Treatment

Dream - The health of baby teeth is often not carefully considered because it is assumed that baby teeth will fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth. However, this is not the case.

Milk teeth are the first teeth that grow in children before permanent teeth, which are important for chewing food and supporting the development of a child's speech.

Although baby teeth will eventually fall out, good baby teeth care is still necessary to maintain the oral health of children. Do not let baby teeth have problems, especially if they have cavities.

Why? According to drg. Stella Lesmana, a specialist in children's dental health, when cavities are left untreated in baby teeth, it can greatly disrupt a child's daily activities. They will have difficulty sleeping, eating, and concentrating at school.

The following is the translation of the text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "That is because the bacteria that cause tooth decay, when they enter the deeper layers of the tooth, will trigger pain. Remember, children cannot accurately express that there is something wrong here, but usually the cavity is already visible," said Dr. Stella on her Instagram @mama.toothfairy. If the cavity is left untreated, the bacteria can form an abscess or a collection of pus at the gum line, which will appear like a pimple or a boil."

"Over time, the gums can become swollen, causing swollen lips in the front and swollen cheeks in the back, leading to fever in children," said Dr. Stella."

The condition, if left untreated, can be fatal. Therefore, do not ignore the decayed baby tooth. It would be better to have it checked by a pediatric dentist immediately.

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: "This is because baby teeth act as a 'guide' for permanent teeth to grow properly. By taking care of your child's baby teeth, their permanent teeth can grow healthier later on. "

Dental care for baby teeth should not be neglected. If there are problems such as cavities, plaque, or other issues, consult a pediatric dentist immediately. Make sure children brush their teeth regularly, especially before bed. Use fluoride toothpaste as it can help prevent tooth decay and protect teeth from acid produced by bacteria. It is also important not to let children consume too much sugary food, as it can damage teeth and promote the growth of bacteria in the mouth.
