Patient's question:
My child's teeth are not white, and there is damage to the front and sharp teeth near the front. Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello! You have a cavity. Most children with caries have soft caries, which are lighter in color and unlike adult hard caries that turn black. Children's caries progress quickly, and if not treated promptly, the small tooth crown can be damaged within a few days or weeks. I suggest taking your child to a regular dental hospital for pediatric examination and treatment. You should also help your child brush their teeth, avoid drinking milk or eating food before bed, or brush their teeth after eating.
