Infection of Primary Teeth

infection of primary teeth

The most common form of dental infections in a child is one in a primary tooth caries. When an infected tooth is neglected, the pain occurs, the nerve (dental pulp) becomes inflamed, die, and an abscess, usually resulting in the loss of the tooth.

The abscess can severely damage the permanent tooth thereafter. In addition to these harmful conditions, when it neglects a primary tooth caries in the child’s bite may be affected. Because tooth shape changes in the cavities, the surrounding teeth and teeth in the gum opposite change.

This change causes the bite of the child to change and hampers its ability to chew. A number of decayed primary teeth can cause severe changes in the shape of the mouth and facial appearance.

Premature loss of a primary tooth
Premature loss of a primary tooth, caused by injury or decay, the bite can affect the child. The primary teeth needed to chew food properly and act as a guide for proper placement of the permanent teeth. Each primary tooth also reserves space for the permanent tooth that will replace it. If the primary tooth is lost too early, the permanent tooth may not come out in the proper position.

Thumb Sucking and other oral habits
The thumb sucking and other oral habits such as biting the lip, tongue and cheek begin at an early age. If you allow the child to continue with them, can be very harmful to the bite and the development of the lip and face. Consult your dentist to give you tips on how to end these practices or how to reduce their effects.
