The dangers of dental caries

Dental hard tissue dental caries is a chronic progressive disease, the vast majority can not stop on its own, eventually leading to tooth decay, all the crashes.

Many parents tend to attach great importance to the child sooner or later the eruption of primary teeth, permanent teeth are so neat, while the deciduous teeth caries treatment is often disagree, mistakenly believe that deciduous teeth are temporary, sooner or later to be replaced. In fact, after the deciduous teeth caries, child chewing function, the development of permanent teeth, permanent dentition is neat has a significant impact.

Deciduous caries prevalence of children not only painful, but can also cause the following hazards:

(1) the impact on systemic health, affecting growth and development:

As the pain of dental caries and early loss of deciduous teeth, growth and development are affected. Carious teeth when chewing food after the pain, so the child can not chew hard, resulting in reduced masticatory function, reduced gastrointestinal absorption, or premature loss of deciduous teeth caries leaving the chewing function, can not properly chew food, more can not bite hard food, and sometimes children do not eat fruit because the fruit can not chew, and some do not eat vegetables because vegetables Seya, so easy to make long-term children with a partial eclipse, the body caused by malnutrition, hamper children's growth and development.

Lead to other diseases: deciduous dental pulp, periapical inflammation, pain can children; can cause alveolar abscess or cellulitis, the facial swelling, fever, and even cause acute sepsis. Chronic periapical inflammation, lesions often become infected, causing some systemic Dental Reviews diseases such as glomerulonephritis, thrombocytopenic purpura, and rheumatism. Therefore, the deciduous teeth caries may become an obstacle to the health of children with chronic diseases.

(2) the impact on local health, causing facial asymmetry in development:

As the disease tooth pain, resulting in unilateral chewing habit, a long time resulting in facial growth asymmetry. Due to dental caries and unilateral chewing, the chewing side of the jaw is well developed enough to make both sides of the ipsilateral maxillary jaw and facial development of asymmetry.

Permanent fault Lynx and dysplasia: early loss of deciduous teeth caused by caries, resulting in lack of clearance at the adjacent teeth to shift, or because of dental caries caused by chewing dysfunction, affecting the normal development of jaw and dental arch, causing the upper and lower malocclusion to form a permanent fault, deciduous caries if not treated, will develop into a pulp, periapical lesions, fistula occurs in the gums, the long-term septic overflow, affecting children's physical and mental health, while the bottom of their permanent teeth embryo development impact, serious cases will make the formation of tooth development stops or cysts. Periapical inflammation of deciduous teeth caused by the constant succession of enamel hypoplasia, is not uncommon in clinical practice.

Maxillofacial deformity: a childhood of chewing teeth organs, due to the stimulation of chewing function, in order to promote normal development of the jaw, loss of this normal physiological stimulation, affected the normal development of the jaw, can cause facial deformities.

Secondary to other dental problems: Caries can develop pulpitis, periapical inflammation, odontogenic cyst or space infection.

Thus, the consequences of caries in deciduous teeth, and sometimes more extensive dental caries than permanent teeth, more serious, these risks can affect the whole body not only affects the local. Therefore, the deciduous teeth caries should pay more attention and seek early treatment.
