Infant dental caries may be related to poor self-cleaning ability and require intervention treatment.

Due to the low degree of tooth mineralization, infants often suffer from dental caries due to lack of attention to oral hygiene. Especially after drinking milk, if the baby does not rinse their mouth in a timely manner or uses corrosive foods, or if the baby is in a state of sleep for a long time, the amount of saliva secretion will decrease, so the self-cleaning ability will deteriorate and dental caries will occur.

After the child’s teeth sprout, parents need to assist in maintaining oral hygiene and cleanliness by regularly checking their teeth and cleaning the gaps between them. If dental caries are in the early stages, they can be prevented from further development by using fluoride toothpaste or fluoride. If dental caries form defects but do not affect the dental nerves, filling treatment can be carried out by removing the decayed tissue.

After a baby develops dental caries, it is necessary to choose a suitable treatment plan based on their specific situation. It is recommended that family members take the child to the hospital for timely medical treatment.
