(m)\n\nOrajel Toothache Regular Strength.~Temporary relief for older children and beyond.~ \n\n\nPros\n~Not the Max strength, Regular Strength is for when our 'babies' are grown.~\n\nCons\n~None...just read the recommendation for children dosage.\n\nThe Bottom Line\nOrajel:~Instant relief applied right to the pain, although temporary and until you see a dentist.~\n\nGoto the following website to know that gel\n\nhttp://www.epinions.com/content_15726907012

I'm guessing HF, but be very cautious because it's a nasty acid\nI found something new,fluoridated water, which will allow exchange in the teeth of hydroxyl ions for fluoride ions, slightly strengthens the teeth(from wikipedia).Maybe you don't need too use HF after all :)

Since the carious lesion is severe, it may lead to infection which may lead to pain for your child and sleepless nights for both of you.  Extract and then since she/he is 7 years of age, the permanent should come out fairly soon.  A flipper is a good idea but not cost effective since the permanents are erupting possibly within a few weeks to a few months.

Both answers above are correct. Before I elaborate, I must emphasise that brushing and a sensible diet are MORE important. Flossing will not make up for a sugary diet of sweet drinks.\nAs soon as he gets both baby molars at about the age of 3, then you can start flossing between them for him. Don't worry about all the teeth, just the molars. The pre-cut floss on plastic handles are easy to use. \nWhen he's about 6-7 he might be able to use it himself. Also, he will get his 1st adult molars thru at this time behind the baby molars, and this is a very important area to floss.\nThe molars are always the most important area because of their broad contact areas between each other. Hence lots of plaque buildup is possible.

Anything can be ok for your teeth if you brush them afterwards. Usually anything with sugar or caffeine is the worse for your teeth, but as long as you have a healthy brushing regimen (brush, floss, mouthwash), then it doesn't really matter too much.\n\nBtw, milk and cheese are only good for your teeth when digested. Don't let it sit on your teeth or anything thinking they'll "absorb" the calcium because they won't. It will just help them decay faster.

It depends on the personality of the child.  If the child is very clingy to the parent or shy, I recommend 4 years old.  If they aren't shy, go ahead & try them at 3.  Don't push the child to do too much at the first couple of visits, going to the dentist is FUN!! If you make it seem like a scary place, the child will develop fears over nothing!!  I've worked on children as young as 3, doing fillings & such, & they love coming to see us because we make it fun for them.  I ALWAYS recommend that after the first visit or two,  let the child go in the room by themselves.  Children have a tendecy to act up more if a parent is there with them. Good luck

put a tiny bit of jam or marmalade, jam or honey on their gums or on their pacifier. it should work but dont do it too often cos its very sweet!

Sugar if you drink it sweetened. However most tea is actually good for you. Dentists recommend biting on wet teabags after having teeth removed to sooth the socket & promote healing.

use a toothpaste with baking/bicarbonate soda in it.\n\nWhen you use it, it feels slightly gritty, and it don't taste too good, but it does work really well if you use it twice a day for a couple weeks (sometimes less)

Just my 2 cents\n\nMake sure he doesn't have a hidden infection.  A lot of parents just look at the teeth.  Make sure you lift his lip up and look at the loose gum tissue.  It can take a month or more to develop an infection, he could develop a little lump.  If it happens then take him to the Dr. \n\nAbout the advice above.\nBaby root canals are not like adult root canals.  Just because the tooth will fall out is not a reason to not do the standard treatment.  We do these things for a reason. Some people think we just want to scam you, If your child looses a tooth pre-maturely his jaw, in this case the maxilla may not grow enough,  Hell with todays diets it's hard to get them to grow as it is.  It pisses me off when people make up stuff.  \n\nGood Question

If you really want to have white teeth, try a bleaching kit off ebay. Theyre cheap and they work! (i think i paid $8US for a 22% kit and 35% gel) The active ingredient is carbamide peroxide which is one of the whitening agents that dentists use. Its available in 22 and 35% strength. Id start out with the 22% and work up to the 35% in a couple of weeks :) They dont recommend you use the product if you are under 18, so if you are i would try colgate whitening which is also pretty good and easier to use as well.

Try the clove and Oragel (or the like) and Ibuprofen together...don't play with the tooth or touch it...in a lot of areas there are emergency clinics if the pain gets too bad...but see a dentist in the a.m. even if it starts to feel better.
