The operations that can be carried out when a five-year-old child’s big tooth is hollowed out include filling, root canal treatment, extraction, and so on.
1. Filling: When there is a cavity, you can choose the method of filling, first remove the bad carious tissue and then fill it, and the filling materials that can be used include resin, glass ionomer, etc.
2. Root canal treatment: If tooth decay is accompanied by pulpitis, periodontitis, etc., root canal treatment is also necessary, and fillings can only be done after this treatment.
3. Tooth extraction: If the tooth is too bad to be filled, it will need to be extracted, which must be done in a professional hospital.
In your daily life, you must develop a good habit of brushing your teeth. If you find that a child has a cavity, parents must take the child to the regular hospital stomatology department in a timely manner.
