Kids Dental Issues
There are a number of dental issues that can affect children, and it is important for parents to be aware of these issues and to take steps to prevent or address them. Some common dental issues in children include cavities, which are caused by the build-up of bacteria and plaque on the teeth; tooth decay, which can lead to cavities and tooth loss; and misaligned teeth, which can affect the appearance of the smile and the function of the teeth and mouth. Children may also experience toothaches, gum problems, and injuries to the teeth and mouth. To prevent or address these issues, it is important for parents to ensure that their children brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Additionally, parents can help their children maintain good oral hygiene by providing healthy snacks and drinks, and by encouraging them to avoid sugary and acidic foods and drinks.

Any decay should not be ignored and should be restored promptly. A Pulpotomy or Pulpectomy is essentially a Root Canal performed on milk teeth when decay is extensive, they are referred to as, “Baby Root Canal.” Totally unrestorable tooth needs removal. Don’t ignore your kid’s dental health.
