Do milk teeth with nursing bottle caries need extraction?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Milk bottle caries are one of the most deteriorating types in children and most frequently affect the front tooth. The abscess indicates a high level of infection in the tooth. If the abscess is not drained, it may damage underlying permanent teeth that erupt at six years. It is better to save the child's permanent teeth instead of milk teeth. Therefore, I suggest you go ahead with tooth removal. It is important to brush the child's teeth in a circular motion and undergo dental check-ups every six months to prevent further tooth damage.

I hope your queries were resolved.

Thank you.
