Q.

causes & treatment of cavity in teeth in 5 yrs old child

1 Answer
VishruthaMom of 2 children2 years ago
A. Tooth decay is the breakdown of tooth enamel. It can lead to holes in the teeth called cavities. Tooth decay is caused by bacteria in the mouth. These bacteria make a sticky substance called plaque that can eat away at a tooth’s enamel. Poor oral hygiene can raise your child’s risk for tooth decay. A dentist can diagnose tooth decay with an exam and X-rays. Treatment requires removing the decayed part of the tooth and replacing it with a filling. Do use Sebamed products for your child for optimum health. Ensure child has a balanced diet. Limit snacks that are sticky and high in sugars, such as chips, candy, cookies, and cake. Prevent the transfer of bacteria from your mouth to your child's by not sharing eating utensils.
