And if the kid suddenly begins to cry in the middle of the night, perhaps this is a toothache, which he still can not understand. You should look into his mouth and examine the teeth. Pain can give both gum inflammation, and teeth with small holes - caries.

What to give a child when the tooth hurts?

Removal of a tooth

It is not always possible to save a diseased tooth, and sometimes the doctor comes to a decision about how to wrest it. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and after removal of the tooth, the child always has a gum. After all, the doctor uses tools to move the gums away from the tooth, which is very traumatic for her.
