Numerous parents think that it’s a waste of money to treat dental caries in children, as the ill deciduous teeth will ultimately be replaced by permanent teeth. According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, however, that’s kind of misconception. In reality, it’s of great necessity to seek treatment for dental caries in children, for various reasons listed below. 

    1.Dental caries, no matter happening to deciduous or permanent teeth, will leave black spots that greatly impact your smile and appearance, especially when it occurs on anterior teeth. 

    2.In mild cases, there’s no pain at all so that you can hardly detect its existence. While severe caries will cause episodic pain, which is set to make children suffer and break their balance between life and study. 

    3.Children living with decayed incisors may develop a fear of speaking, due to its negative impact on pronunciation. Over time, it will do harm to their psychological health. 

   4.During the period of deciduous-and-permanent teeth replacement, bacteria will seize the opportunity to multiply at a rapid speed, if you leave decayed deciduous teeth untreated. As a result, the newly erupted permanent teeth will suffer from dental caries as well. Or even worse, caries will progress into periapical periodontitis, threatening to harm the growth of permanent tooth germs. 

    5.To be noted, tooth enamel won’t grow back by itself. Without proper treatment, dental caries will only get worse until the the teeth become loose and fall out. 

    6.At the early stage, simple procedure like dental filling is enough to fix the cavities, costing you less. As it progresses, you may end up suffering and paying a lot more for dealing with the problem.

    7.As we all know, children may well fail to thoroughly clean their teeth. Following dental decay, chances are that bacteria causing caries will make their way to other teeth and worsen the dental condition.
