Front 4 tooth decay

Question

Front 4 tooth decay

Asked for Female, 2 Years

My toddler developed front tooth cavities few months back which has deteriorated very fast. We brush her teeth twice and do not give her any sweets except occasionally. She has and continues to breastfeed apart from solids. We do not want any treatment where she has to be operated under anesthesia. Is there any treatment to stop the decay till she is ready to get her permanent teeth? Something which can be done while she is awake and without medication?

Hi All the milk teeth are equally important and it must be best tried to save those till their natural exfoliation. Most of the times tooth can be saved with fillings and root canal. Must contact your nearby dentist/pedodontist to save those uoper front teeth as they will last till her age of 6-7 years. No need to worry about anaesthesia as it has a localized action and patient is well awake during the treatment. Just to decrease further decay always clean her mouth before going to sleep with a gauze or let her sip water after she is finished with the milk. Take care
