Tooth decay in 4 years old children, at present, the main treatment includes remineralization treatment, root canal treatment and filling treatment.
1. Remineralization treatment: For early caries, silver ammonium fluoride can be used directly to treat the cavity, which can prevent the caries from increasing.
2. Root canal treatment: It is necessary to prepare the root canal first, and then carry out local disinfection and sterilization to kill the nerve, which can effectively relieve pain and anti-inflammation, and then carry out filling after the inflammation is completely eliminated.
3. Filling treatment: mainly for more serious caries, after root canal treatment, local filling is needed, mainly including silver amalgam filling and composite resin direct paste restoration.
If your child is currently found to have tooth decay, it is recommended that you consult a doctor in a timely manner to understand the degree of caries through a professional physician’s examination and then take the best treatment. If the tooth is currently a baby tooth, and the tooth has no significance for retention, it can be directly extracted.
