What to do if your baby has a toothache

  As the saying goes, a toothache is not a disease, but a pain that kills you. Baby toothache exists as well. So how to do about baby toothache? Today, I summarized a few experiences and treatment methods about baby toothache: 1, tooth decay commonly known as “worm teeth”. Before tooth decay affects the dental pulp, there is no obvious symptom. After affecting the pulp, toothache or gum swelling and pus overflow will appear.  Countermeasure: Once the baby has caries, please ask the doctor for examination and treatment in time to prevent the tooth from further damage.  2.Pulp disease and apical disease Dental caries is the common cause of pulp disease and apical disease, acute pulpitis has the characteristics of spontaneous pain and night pain. Root-tip disease can cause pain, tooth loosening or soft tissue redness and swelling when baby chews food.  Countermeasure: Give the baby anti-inflammatory medicine while treating the tooth decay.  3. Periodontal disease is mostly a marginal inflammation of gum at the beginning, which shows that the gum is filled with blood and edema, the gum edge is red and bleeding easily, and then the periodontal membrane and alveolar bone are destroyed, the periodontal inflammation and the tooth is loosened.  Countermeasures: Let the baby take anti-inflammatory drugs, and in serious cases, anti-inflammatory injections are required.  4, tooth trauma Tooth trauma, especially blow or impact injury caused by the tooth, pulp and periodontal tissue damage.  Countermeasures: Be sure to ask the doctor to check and take appropriate measures according to the degree of injury.  5, pain after filling There are many factors that cause pain after filling, such as mechanical cutting, vibration, pressure, temperature stimulation of the pulp, etc.; hot and cold can easily conduct and stimulate the pulp, etc.  Countermeasures: After filling the baby’s teeth, the baby should listen to the doctor’s arrangement and follow up in time, while paying attention to the hot and cold diet and eating less spicy food.
