When it comes to children and their dental care we are happy to provide this in our office. Preventative care is of utmost importance at this stage of life. Sealants are a great restoration to cover and protect the grooves and pits of the teeth. Fillings are sometimes required if a cavity progresses too far into the tooth. Saving baby teeth is of great importance because they help to maintain the spacing for the adult teeth to erupt in the mouth. If an injury occurs, it is vital to contact the office ASAP to determine the next steps.
Restorative Measures That Protect Your Child’s Teeth
Pediatric preventive care is vital at this stage of life, as it helps to prevent more serious dental issues. The first line of defense to preventing dental issues in kids is a periodic dental cleaning and exam. These exams allow our providers to track your child’s dental progress and get ahead of small issues before they grow into larger issues.
Another preventive measure we offer is dental sealants. Sealants are a restoration option that covers and protects the grooves and pits of the teeth, where food particles and bacteria often collect. This protective barrier helps to prevent cavities and tooth decay.
Despite our best efforts with preventive care, dental fillings are sometimes required if a cavity progresses too far into the tooth. If this happens, we’ll carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill it with a durable material to restore it. Saving baby teeth is crucial because they are critical in maintaining the proper spacing for the adult teeth to erupt. Premature loss of baby teeth can lead to misalignment and other orthodontic issues.
If an injury occurs, contacting our office as soon as possible is vital to determine the next steps. Timely intervention can significantly affect the outcome, whether it’s a chipped tooth, a knocked-out tooth, or any other dental emergency.
