Common conclusions

Unfortunately, it seems your child has decay being in progress or some other situation that causes pain. Plaque is a painless sticky biofilm on the enamel surface that accumulates food residues if not being brushed off with a regular toothbrush during daily routine. Please seek for a professional dental help as soon as possible for the further examination and treatment.

Brushing your child’s teeth twice a day with your own hands is essential since children do not have good brushing skill set. Child’s enamel has higher penetrative quality and is more sensitive to damaging factors. Use soft children oriented toothbrush and calcium-based toothpaste that suits your child’s age. Gentle flossing can be also beneficial. Remember to visit your dentist every 4 months for a check-up.
