At this age, the baby is recommended to be closed in the ditch

There are many uneven ditch on the baby's milk grinding teeth. Sometimes these gaps will be crowded with food, which will turn black over time to form tooth decay.

The closure of the ditch is used by using the resin material to put a protective jacket for the baby's milk grinding teeth, which not only blocks the invasion of foreign bacteria, but also isolate the nutritional source of the original bacteria inside, thereby preventing the tooth decay.

Because there is no pain during the operation, it is easier for babies to accept than filling teeth.

1. The closure of the deciduous nest ditch is generally 3 years old, and more tooth decay can be earlier

Generally speaking, the closed operation of the ditch needs to isolate the saliva environment of the mouth. Therefore, it is generally recommended that babies are about 3 years old. The milk grinding teeth can only be done, and the baby's cooperation will be better at this age.

After replacing the permanent teeth, the age recommendation of the closed ditch:

First Heng Mogo: around 6 years old;

Second Heng Mogo: around 12 years old.

However, if some babies have a high incidence of caries in the mouth and more tooth decay at 1 year old, it is recommended to use hydrophilic materials to be closed with hydrophilic materials when the milk grinding teeth.

2. When the risk of tooth decay is evaluated by a dentist, you can do not do it

Not all babies need to be closed. Generally, the teeth have no cavities within 2 years, or babies with low risk of tooth decay. For example, the amount of sugar content in daily diet is very low. Use fluoride toothpaste to brush the teeth or apply fluoride on the surface of the tooth.

Parents are advised to bring their babies to the professional dentist office. After evaluating the oral conditions, they decide whether to be closed.
