Question
What’s the problem with easy-to-decay teeth? My child has been experiencing this situation for a while now, and the parents are too afraid to give the child medicine. Can the doctor offer any suggestions?
Answer
It is recommended to undergo a trace element test at a hospital to clarify the diagnosis. Easy-to-decay teeth may not necessarily be related to calcium deficiency, but they should not bite on hard objects. It is suggested to educate the child not to bite on hard objects anymore. At the same time, attention should be paid to oral hygiene; avoid drinking water from a bottle or sleeping with milk, and rinse the mouth at least after eating. If the child has eaten cookies or other things before going to bed, make sure to rinse their mouth. The child may have already formed this habit, and it is suggested to make more improvements.
