When preventive care is not enough, restorative dental treatments can bring your child’s smile back to exceptional oral health. From repairing cavities with simple fillings to gentle extraction of problem teeth, restorative treatment can help your child’s smile stay healthy.
Children's teeth are more prone to cavities and decay due to their eating habits and difficulty in maintaining proper oral hygiene. Dental sealants act as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids. They are especially beneficial for the hard-to-reach molars, which are a breeding ground for food and plaque. Sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces and are able to seep into the deep grooves of the teeth, providing a protective shield over the enamel. Dental sealants are a cost-effective solution to prevent cavities and the need for fillings later on.
Children have a set of 20 baby teeth. Adults have 32.
A pediatric dental filling is a procedure used to treat cavities or tooth decay in children. It involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with a durable and tooth-colored material. This helps to restore the tooth's structure, prevent further decay, and maintain proper oral health.
When a child's tooth suffers significant decay or damage, preserving the tooth's structure becomes critical. Why? Because primary teeth play a pivotal role in a child's oral health and development. They not only help in chewing and speech development but also hold space for the permanent teeth. Stainless steel crowns are a proven solution to restore the functionality and health of these crucial teeth. They provide a robust, long-lasting cover, protecting the tooth from further decay, and are particularly beneficial when the tooth's structure is too weak to support a filling.
Your little one’s teeth are important. They play a vital role in their oral health, development, and functionality. Your child’s teeth help them chew, speak, and maintain their smile.
This is why we’ll always exhaust all other options before resorting to an extraction. It’s always best to preserve your child’s natural teeth and repair them when possible. However, sometimes the teeth become decayed or infected beyond repair and the only thing left to do is to remove the tooth.
Your child may also have overcrowded or impacted teeth and need to remove a tooth to make room for orthodontics. As a last resort, we can comfortably remove your child’s tooth to provide them with relief from tooth decay, infections, or dental trauma.
After removing the tooth, they may require a space maintainer to prevent the teeth from shifting. Contact us at Sunflower Pediatric Dentistry or call (440) 273-8104 today to schedule a consultation with our pediatric dentist in Burton.
