Question
How to handle tooth enamel erosion in a 1-year-old baby? My child has already grown eight teeth, and two of them are obviously falling out. My older child also had tooth enamel erosion, and the doctor said it couldn’t be treated when he was young, just wait for the teeth to fall out. But my little one is only one year old and his teeth are starting to fall out, I am very worried.
Answer
Dear friend, based on the situation you described, this baby will eventually have a tooth replacement, and generally no treatment is needed. The main thing is to pay attention to good oral hygiene in daily life, avoid eating sweet foods, brush your teeth before going to bed at night, and always ensure that your child gets appropriate zinc and calcium supplements. Pay attention to increasing nutrition in their diet. In this situation, it is still recommended to have the child examined by a dentist at the local hospital.
