2-year-old baby with tooth decay

Patient's question:

The baby is 2 years old this year and loves sugar. Last night while brushing her teeth, I noticed that her inner teeth had turned black, and there were also holes. I quickly took her to the dentist. The dentist said the baby has cavities and her teeth are damaged. What should I do about the cavities in a 2-year-old baby?

Doctor's answer:

This situation can be addressed by visiting a dental clinic for a filling. It's usually not a problem because between the ages of 6 to 12, it's the time for teeth to fall out and new ones to grow in. To maintain healthy teeth, it's important to keep the mouth clean at all times. Avoid letting children eat sugar before taking a nap, and also pay attention to a balanced diet. This is beneficial for dental health as well. Try to avoid calcium deficiency, as it can affect the health of your teeth.
