It is good to do that, but as the children eat too many sweet things, the bad
caries problem is increasing. So what are the reasons for child’s toothache and
how to cure toothache? ISMILE shanghai dental hospital has mentioned the following four
reasons.
The first reason is the injury. It is a common thing that child accidentally
fall down to bruise their teeth, sometimes bite gravel and bone when eating
food, then teeth appear traumatic apical periarthritis causing pain. If the
tooth is only a little loose, you just eat anti-inflammatory drugs and have soft
diet for a few days. If tooth has been broken, you should take your child to see
doctor, taking the exposure tooth nerve, filling or pulling out the tooth in the
anesthesia condition.
Secondly, there is not a toothache when you are not eating, the pain will get
worse especially when eating cold and hot food. It shows that if the teeth
appear deep cavity, the child must get the dental care treatment, some teeth of
shallow cavity can be repaired. The serious one should be filled after
inactivating tooth nerve.
Thirdly, toothache shows paroxysmal pain without cause, children will cry
even if they don't eat, often feeling the pain in whole teeth, they cannot point
out specific tooth. It become so aggravating at night that the child often cry
all night and refuse to lie down, this is typical dental pulp nerve
inflammation，in the situation, any painkillers does not work, you only take the
child to department of stomatology and let doctor open teeth, put on a bit
anti-inflammatory painkiller which will stop the pain immediately.
Finally, the patient's teeth are painful continuously, which will gradually
get worse if there is no treatment, at the same time, the symptom appears dental
caries swelling, teeth floating. The serious one appears swollen face, lymph
node enlargement, then have fever, this is the inflammation around the root
apex. It will develop into suppurative inflammation sometimes. So you must send
for a doctor, keep the teeth open and let the fester out, not only take orally
or inject the antibiotics, but also change the medicine over and over again
until the inflammation can be eliminated. Fill the teeth in the end.
Shanghai dental doctor remind that the parents do not let the child take
medicine casually. It is no use of taking analgesic medicine. Don't let children
before six take tetracycline drugs, such as tetracycline, oxytetracycline,
etc.
The caries disease can be prevented. the caries prevalence rate has descend
from 80% to 10% in the past for children from many European and American
countries. Generally the children should eat less sweet food, especially don't
do that before going to bed, brushing teeth at age of three in the morning and
at night. It is better to do teeth health examination and dental treatment one
time every six months.
