(Treatment Review) My son had his cavities treated... and he had 7 of them!!

My son is currently 11 years old and in 4th grade of elementary school.

When I was around 7 or 8 years old, I started getting one or two cavities in my molars.

A while ago, my daughter had her first front tooth extracted, and I took my son for a regular checkup when the second tooth was extracted...

I heard you have 6 cavities...

Four on the permanent molars... two on the baby molars! ㅠㅠ

It's such a small black dot that I can't tell if it's a cavity when I look at it with my naked eye.

I went to the children's dentist.. Since that's what the dentist said... I thought I needed treatment, so I made an appointment.

Since the dentist recommended permanent resin treatment, which is covered by health insurance, I decided to treat my baby teeth with resin and GI.

 

 

The hospital where my son got his cavity treated is the Kkureogi Pediatric Dentistry in Sodam-dong, Sejong City, which I recommended last time.

What I felt while receiving treatment at a pediatric dentist this time is

It was clear that children should definitely be treated by a pediatric dentist.

 

My son has a lot of baby teeth compared to his peers because he is still young...

Looking at it this way, I have a baby tooth that needs to be extracted in the future... Oh my...

You also need to take good care of your baby teeth to avoid damaging the permanent teeth inside the gums.

 

 

I decided to treat the cavity by dividing it into left and right sides.

On this day, I decided to treat my left side, which had four cavities, and tied it down so it wouldn't move.

To divert his attention, I turned on the TV on the ceiling and started the treatment while playing YouTube, which my son wanted.

 

 

In order to divert attention and interest when treating children, as is typical of pediatric dentistry,

It was fortunate that there was such a large monitor on the ceiling.

Even adults find it difficult and tremble when getting cavities treated under anesthesia.

How hard must it be for the kids? My son even endured it, groaning several times...

I tried to comfort him by patting his leg, and when I finally turned my attention to the TV, four...

No, I endured that long time treating 5, including the one I found in the middle...

Oh my... Among the 5 teeth being treated, one of them was previously treated for a cavity and it was very deep.

It took a long time because if I did it wrong, I could have ended up needing nerve treatment ㅠ_ㅠ

 

 

In one corner of the treatment room, the child's name and the appointment number for treatment were written down.

 

As I was walking down the hallway after finishing treatment...

The pictures hanging in one corner of the hallway are cute...

It relieves my tension.

 

 

And it's time for a gift for the children who have worked hard~~

Because it is a pediatric dentistry, we want to make sure that the children who have suffered like this can take it one by one.

Rings for girls, small cars for boys,

Spring toys that both boys and girls like, etc. haha

I was touched by the small gift that lifted the spirits of the children who had suffered.

The dentist I went to before didn't have something like this, so I had to go to the pharmacy and buy one for myself. Hahaha

 

 

This is the outer tooth that was treated that day. The black dot you see inside is a mark for treatment.

When I brushed my teeth, it all disappeared.

Those on the left are those treated at the bottom, and those on the right are those treated at the top.

While I was getting treatment... I had GI treatment at the dentist before to the point where I couldn't even floss my teeth.

I couldn't floss because I was afraid the floss would fall out.

They took great care to treat that area and made sure to floss between the teeth so that I could manage it.

That's why I wanted to visit a pediatric dentist. They provide treatment tailored to children's teeth.

 

And four days later, my son came back after receiving treatment for the remaining two on the right side.

That day, I had a bad cold, so my husband and I went to get treatment.

I had two treatments and the treatment was quick that day.

On the day I had five treatments, the treatment time was about 40-50 minutes.

 

 

The Kkureogi Pediatric Dentistry Clinic has facilities that are tailored to the children's eye level.

The director is also a pediatric dentist, so he provides dental treatment tailored to children.

I felt trustworthy. Certainly, both during consultations and during treatment...

It's comparable to my previous dental clinic...

 

 

 

 

Kids these days are definitely different from when we were kids.

I think we have more cavities because we are more exposed to sweets.

Regular checkups are also really important.

And I thought it would be a good idea to see a pediatric dentist.

 

When I asked about fluoride application, I found out that fluoride treatment is not only effective for infants.

He said he does it even when he becomes an adult.

It is true that applying fluoride helps prevent cavities.

I told him when his first tooth was pulled that his second child also had cavities.

I heard there are places that provide fluoride application support, so please take a look.

I'll have to go get those two guys fluoride coated soon.

 

This was a review of the first 7 cavities treated.

It's impossible to live without cavities, but...

We need to manage it well so that 7 of these don't appear at once.
