Dr. Li Chao, the head of the Department of Stomatology, did a comprehensive inspection of Peng Peng's teeth and found that Peng Peng's two upper front teeth had been broken, of which a pulp had been exposed , and the pulp at the exposed pulp was dark red , Although the other tooth has not yet penetrated the pulp, it can be seen through the pink.
Because Peng Peng's mother did not save the broken teeth immediately, Peng Peng's broken teeth were lost. After detailed communication between Dr. Li Chao and the parents, cut off the living pulp of the two teeth and retained the root pulp for aesthetic restoration of the resin anterior teeth.
"If parents save the broken tooth in time and send the child over for treatment, we can directly adhere the broken tooth to the tooth surface. Using the original body adhesion can restore the tooth condition faster."
Dr. Li Chao reminded parents, " After dental trauma, the fracture of the dental crown often exposes the pulp, and it is necessary to go to a professional dental hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, so as not to delay the best treatment time, because parents and children cannot deal with the exposed pulp in time. Before seeking medical attention, be sure to avoid the stimulation of the exposed pulp by cold, hot or dirty objects." The duration of pulp exposure and the range of pulp exposure provide corresponding treatment options.
If the broken tooth is a young permanent tooth, the clinical operation taken by the doctor is to preserve as much healthy pulp inside the tooth as possible, so as to promote the continued development of the tooth.
Once the dental nerve is exposed and not treated in time, or the dental pulp becomes inflammatory and infected after dental trauma, the doctor will also take corresponding measures to remove the dental pulp to preserve the affected tooth as much as possible.
In short, when a child suffers trauma and exposes the dental pulp, be sure to take the child to see a doctor in time and take corresponding measures for treatment.
If tooth defects are not treated and repaired in time, it will cause pulp disease, apical disease, periodontal disease and temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome, which will have a certain impact on children's chewing, pronunciation, and even facial appearance. .
A tooth suddenly breaks, what should parents do urgently?
If the whole tooth is knocked off, Director Li Chao suggested that parents must find the lost tooth immediately and go to a professional hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
At the same time, remember to pinch the crown of the tooth, that is, the part that is exposed outside the gum, and use tap water to quickly remove the dirt on the tooth, but do not brush the root surface of the tooth, and put the cleaned tooth on the tooth. In the trough, go to the doctor again.
If the parent does not handle it, put the lost tooth in saline, fresh cold milk, contact lens solution, or under the tongue, and seek a dentist as soon as possible.
Never let your teeth get too dry, such as by holding them in your hand or wrapping them in paper, or soaking them in clean water.
The shorter the time for the tooth to leave the body, the greater the chance of success after replantation. It is best to rush to the dentist for replantation within 30 minutes.
What should I do if my teeth are broken?
If the teeth are touched, even if they are not broken, they should seek medical attention in time, review them regularly, and solve problems in time to avoid adverse consequences.
8-10 years old is the high incidence age of permanent anterior tooth trauma. At this time, the root of the newly grown incisor has not been fully developed, and the root canal wall is thin. It is particularly important to treat in time after the trauma.
If the tooth is broken, remember to pick up the broken part and keep it moist, and go to the hospital as soon as possible. In some cases, the doctor can reconnect the broken crown to restore the appearance and part of the function of the tooth.
