Children's tooth pain and cavities
बच्चों के दांतों की समस्या
Children's teeth decay quickly, and milk teeth matter more than many parents think. They hold space for the adult teeth.
Common signs
- White or brown spots on teeth
- Your child avoiding food on one side
- Toothache or swelling
- Teeth coming in crooked
Common causes
- Sweets, biscuits and juice between meals
- Bottle feeding at night
- Not brushing twice daily
- Thumb sucking
What you can do at home
- Brush twice a day with a rice-grain smear of fluoride toothpaste under age 3, and a pea-sized amount from age 3
- Avoid sweet drinks at bedtime
- Make sweets a mealtime treat, not a snack
Home care can ease symptoms, but it doesn't fix the cause.
When to see a dentist
A first visit by the first birthday, then every 6 months. Come in sooner for any pain or swelling.
