Filling of rotten milk teeth, perhaps, a meaningless test for children, which leaves only a negative psychological impact, according to British experts.

About 40% of five-year-old children in the UK have dental problems, and about 10% of them have seals. Researchers interviewed 50 dentists about the benefits of tooth filling in children with milk teeth. It turned out that doctors believe that, perhaps, to put seals on baby teeth does not make sense.

Experts noticed that small children with disintegrating teeth can not exercise any treatment, but everything depends on the decision of the dentist to whom the child was brought to the reception. At the moment, there is no exact evidence that dental treatment in children is beneficial, so the dentist always relies on his experience in this matter, said Dr. Gail Topping of the University of Dundee.

If a child experiences severe pain and parents are sure that treatment is necessary, in this case there are no questions.

However, if unhealthy baby teeth do not cause inconvenience, then, probably, treatment is not necessary, since by the age of 11 all teeth will somehow fall out. In the opinion of dentists, the treatment in most cases causes the child a psychological trauma when they inject a gum or when the child hears the sound of a drill.

UK health officials are studying this issue so that they can give dentists clear advice on working with baby teeth, the Air Force writes..
