Patient's question:
Children aged 3 to 18 years old, with a cavity in the middle of their two upper front teeth that has developed a vertical crack. I want to ask if it will continue to erode and if it will interfere with future tooth replacement.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the mineralization level of children's deciduous teeth is not high, and after caries, the teeth expand quickly, with the dental pulp focusing on destruction. In this case, the child has interproximal caries, and it is recommended to visit a hospital for dental treatment to remove the carious lesion and fill the cavity. If left untreated for a long time, the dental pulp will focus on destruction, which may lead to pulpitis and cause pain again. If the deciduous teeth are carious, it may interfere with the normal eruption of permanent teeth.
