Root exposure in children may be due to apical periodontitis, periodontitis of the tooth, which accordingly requires root canal treatment, periodontal treatment, extraction, etc.
The root of a child’s tooth may be exposed because of apical inflammation. Repeated episodes of apical inflammation destroys the alveolar bone in the apical area and also destroys the gum tissue, resulting in the root of the tooth being exposed from the gum area. Root canal treatment should be performed if the tooth can still be retained, or extraction is necessary if the periodontitis of the baby tooth is affecting the growth and development of the permanent tooth.
Children with exposed roots may also have receding gums, caused by periodontitis, and should be alert to the oral manifestations of some systemic diseases, localized periodontal treatment is still needed.
Children with exposed tooth roots are recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to give targeted treatment or treatment.
