Question
My child frequently drinks nighttime milk, leading to poor dental condition and gradually showing signs of deterioration. Recently, a new lower tooth has emerged, while a white spot has appeared on the upper teeth, resembling a root. When touching the lower molar, there is a sensation of tremor. The white spot appears to have signs of abscess, and it is painful when touched. What is this abscess? Why does it happen? How should we solve this problem?
Answer
A 5-year-old girl has a fistula in the apical area of her front teeth, accompanied by loose teeth, and it is recommended that she visit an oral department for examination and treatment. Based on your description, an initial diagnosis of chronic apical periodontitis in the primary incisors is made, and root canal treatment is needed. It is recommended to have an oral examination and treatment.
