All You NeEdto Know About MILK TEETH By Dr.NandiniNelivigi
What Do You Mean by MILK TEETH • Man has two sets of dentition in his life span. • The first one is called DECIDUOUS dentition or MILK TEETH or PRIMARY teeth. • The second one is called PERMANENT dentition.
Some Common Problems are seen in Deciduous Dentition: • Nursing Bottle Caries • Dental Caries • Deep Caries • Malalignment of Teeth • Space for the Erupting Tooth • Habits
Nursing Bottle Caries • A generalized carious breakdown of almost all teeth is seen in this condition. • This is a common occurrence when a child is made to go to bed after drinking milk or with a pacifier in the mouth.
DentalCaries • Dental caries is the decay of teeth. • When one eats something sticky and does not brush it off the tooth surface, the bacteria stick to the food, consume it and produce acid as a by product .
Deep Caries When the child has a bigger carious lesion complains of pain in the tooth probably the tooth cannot be filled and it needs a procedure called PULPECTOMY.
Malalignment Of Teeth • If a milk tooth has not fallen and you see the permanent tooth erupting behind it kindly get the tooth removed. • The pressure of the tongue can push the erupting tooth to its place only if space is available.
Space for the Erupting Tooth If for some reason the milk tooth cannot be saved with any procedure and needs to be extracted before the eruption of the permanent tooth, then we need to maintain that space for the erupting tooth.
Habits If a child is having a habit like Thumb sucking, Lip sucking, Tongue thrusting or Mouth breathing you need to consult a dentist to get the child off the habit.
