Question
A 6.5-year-old boy has a needle-sized cavity in the right side of his front teeth, with the gums showing redness and swelling. When pressed, white matter is discharged. Additionally, the two front teeth on the left side of his mouth have developed cavities due to a broken tooth during childhood, and currently only the tooth roots remain. Is it possible to extract these teeth in this situation?
Answer
Based on the described condition, the first step should be to assess the status of the gums. If the gum condition permits, it can be considered to extract the damaged teeth and use anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. It is recommended to closely monitor the current situation and avoid excessive covering or wearing overly thick clothing. If breastfed, spicy and stimulating foods should be avoided. For treatment, it is suggested to use baby eczema cream in combination with calamine lotion for treatment.
