Gum diseases in children
The most common diseases are stomatitis and gingivitis. Both pathologies progress quickly and are quite severe.
Stomatitis is characterized by the appearance of painful ulcers of different sizes and shapes in the oral cavity. Additional symptoms vary depending on the type of disease.
If stomatitis is not treated in time, gingivitis develops. Characteristic signs of this pathology are swollen and red gums that bleed when brushing your teeth.
As gingivitis progresses, it becomes a more serious form - periodontitis. This disease is characterized by the destruction of the tissues that support the teeth. With the development of periodontitis, bad breath appears, and enlarged lymph nodes become very painful.
Stomatitis happens:
- Aphthous The mouth usually develops several painful ulcers with a reddish rim and a white or yellowish coating in the center. Their presence contributes to severe discomfort while eating and talking.
- Candida A white cheesy coating appears on the gums, tongue and inside of the cheeks, which is easily removed. Beneath it is a red, inflamed surface. Additional signs of this pathology include burning and dry mouth.
- Herpetic Small blisters appear on the gums, lips and inside of the cheeks. They open up, forming erosions. The child complains of feeling unwell. His body temperature rises, his lymph nodes enlarge.
Childhood caries, pulpitis and periodontitis
Children's baby teeth are susceptible to caries. This is due to the fact that their enamel is thinner than that of permanent chewing elements, and the pulp chambers (internal cavities of the tooth where nerves and blood vessels are located) are larger.
Symptoms of childhood caries include:
- Pain when chewing
- Increased sensitivity of teeth to hot, cold and sweet
- Visible damage to tooth enamel (stains)
Against the background of untreated caries, pulpitis develops. This pathology also manifests itself as pain when eating hot or cold foods. As the disease progresses, the affected gum swells and pus leaks from the root canal of the diseased tooth.
With periodontitis, the tissues that support the tooth become inflamed. Symptoms of the disease include:
- Pain around the tooth
- Swelling of gums
- Bleeding gums when brushing teeth
- Increasing the mobility of one or more chewing elements
- Formation of purulent pockets between the tooth and gum (this sign is uncommon)
Childhood periodontitis progresses quickly. If left untreated, the disease becomes chronic.
General information
Trapy of baby teeth in children
How to treat baby teeth? Treatment of caries begins with removing the affected part of the tooth with a special instrument. Then the doctor cleans the cavity of bacteria and fills it with filling material. If caries has affected the deep layers, a technique is used to remove the inflamed part of the pulp (the internal contents of the chewing element). Next, the specialist fills the root canals with special material. In extreme cases, a pulpectomy is performed - complete removal of the pulp from the tooth.
Therapy for pulpitis is aimed at eliminating inflammation. The child is prescribed antibiotics to fight the infection. In order to reduce pain and swelling, he is prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs.
The specialist eliminates the inflamed tissue using endodontic root canal treatment. Using special instruments, the doctor removes the affected tissue, and then cleans and expands the canals. This removes all bacteria and infected parts. After this, in order to prevent re-infection, the channels are filled with a special sealing material.
To treat periodontitis, the doctor prescribes a course of antibiotics. Additionally, the dental pocket is washed using antiseptic solutions. To remove bacteria and pus, agents are injected directly into the affected area.
If an abscess has formed, the dentist opens it and drains it through a small incision. This allows the pus to drain out. Against this background, inflammation is reduced and the healing process is accelerated.
