Care for children’s baby teeth and permanent teeth
A healthy smile starts in childhood. Pediatric dentistry focuses on preventing and treating dental problems in kids – from sealants and fluoride treatments for protection, to fillings, root canals, and extractions when needed. Regular dental visits not only maintain oral health but also help children build a positive relationship with the dentist.
Dental Sealings
Sealants are a quick and completely painless procedure that protects children’s teeth against cavities. The dentist applies a thin layer of special material on the chewing surfaces of the molars, covering the small grooves and pits where food particles often get trapped. This prevents bacteria from developing and significantly reduces the risk of cavities.
Sealants can be applied to both baby teeth and permanent teeth, right after eruption, for long-lasting protection.
Fillings
If a cavity appears, the affected tooth can be saved with a filling. The decayed area is cleaned and filled with a tooth-colored material that is both strong and aesthetic.
Fillings can be done on both baby teeth and permanent teeth. Depending on the case, special pediatric materials are used – from glass ionomer with a protective, fluoride-releasing effect, to light-cured composite for a natural look and lasting strength.
Baby Tooth Extractions
Sometimes a baby tooth must be extracted earlier than it would naturally fall out – either because it is destroyed by cavities or because it blocks the eruption of the permanent tooth. Extractions are performed gently, and when needed under local anesthesia, to avoid trauma and maintain the proper space for permanent teeth.
Root Canals for Children
Even baby teeth may require root canal treatment when cavities reach or affect the nerve. The procedure is done carefully under local anesthesia, with the goal of keeping the baby tooth in place until it naturally falls out. This ensures enough space for the permanent teeth to erupt properly.
Cavity Treatments
Cavities are the most common dental problem in children – but the good news is they are easily treatable if caught early. Depending on the stage, the dentist may apply a preventive, minimally invasive treatment or a traditional filling. Modern treatments are quick, safe, and child-friendly, making every visit to the dentist a positive experience.
