1, drug therapy
Drugs, such as sodium fluoride and ammonium silver nitrate, prevent the development of dental caries on the basis of grinding away decayed tissues. Although drug treatment can not restore the shape of teeth, it can inhibit the progress of dental caries. Of course, this therapy is only suitable for shallow caries and initial caries without cavities.
2, caries tissue grinding method
It is suitable for a wide range of decayed areas, such as teeth where the entire occlusal surface is decayed, the enamel or dentin layer falls off, and it is difficult to make cavity filling. Grind off sharp tooth tips, tooth edges and decaying tissues on the surface, so as to prevent teeth from continuing to decay.
3. Dental caries tissue filling method
This is the most commonly used method to treat rotten tissue. It is suitable for making cavity teeth with retention after dental caries. Filling materials can be fixed on teeth by filling cavities, which can repair tooth defects, restore their functions, and maintain the shape of teeth and the integrity of dentition.
4, pit and fissure sealant caries prevention
When children's teeth erupt, there are pits and grooves in some parts of the teeth, which are easy to grow worm teeth. You can find a dentist to apply pit and fissure sealant on the surface of your teeth to protect your teeth. After curing, the material can remain in the pit and fissure for a long time to prevent bacterial erosion, which is an effective method to prevent dental caries.
Step 5 control snacks
Snacks, mainly sweets, candied fruit, cakes, drinks and other foods with high sugar content, should be controlled especially after there are insect teeth, so as not to aggravate the condition. Eating different kinds of foods, such as fruits, dairy products, grains, vegetables, meat, eggs and other foods rich in vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and fluorine, is helpful to children.
6, pay attention to oral cleaning
Helping children to get into the habit of brushing their teeth in the morning, noon and evening, effectively brushing their teeth and gargling after meals, choosing fluoride toothpaste and children's toothbrush, and teaching children the correct brushing methods can clean their mouths and prevent tooth decay.
7. Check your mouth regularly.
Children aged 2-5 need regular oral examination, early detection of dental caries and early treatment, 3 months 1 time, 6- 12 years old children 6 months 1 time, 10 years old children 6 months 1 time.
8. How to prevent tooth decay
1, keep your mouth clean
From the age of 3, children should be taught the correct way to brush their teeth, once every morning and evening, rinse their mouths after meals and snacks, and remove the residue, bacteria and dental plaque attached to the tooth surface in time. If you can stick to correct and effective brushing habits and maintain good oral hygiene habits from an early age, you can have a pair of healthy teeth.
Step 2 control dietary factors
People should restrict the intake of sugary foods and use sucrose substitutes, improve the health awareness of restricting sucrose intake, especially carry out health education on "eating less snacks and establishing reasonable eating habits" for teenagers and children. In addition, the food industry should pay attention to the development of foods with little or no caries, and fundamentally control the dental caries in the diet.
3, fluoride caries prevention method
Fluorine can strengthen the structure of teeth and bones, inhibit bacteria and prevent caries. The most commonly used toothpaste is fluoride, which can keep the oral cavity at a high level and is beneficial to demineralization of teeth or remineralization of early demineralized tooth tissues. Because excessive intake of fluoride can also cause fluorosis to varying degrees, children should be careful when choosing fluoride toothpaste.
