Timely treatment of caries in children is the key to healthy permanent teeth
Healthy baby teeth are the foundation for the proper development of a child's entire dental system. They protect the buds of permanent teeth, participate in the formation of the bite, stimulate the development of the jaw, and influence the development of the jaw muscles and articulation.
At the same time, children are not yet aware of the importance of thorough dental hygiene at home, which is why caries remains the most common disease among young children. Unfortunately, there are still parents who believe that baby teeth do not need to be treated for caries because they will fall out anyway. This is a dangerous misconception. It can lead to serious health problems for the child and significantly higher costs for parents, as treating the consequences of deep caries in baby teeth can be very lengthy and expensive.
Lyudmila Ivanovna Romygailo, a pediatric dentist at Club 32, a family dentistry clinic in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, has extensive experience in treating caries in both baby teeth and permanent teeth in young patients. She loves and understands children, and they are always happy to see her.
Our clinic has created the ideal conditions for your child to feel comfortable and relaxed both before and during treatment. The fairy-tale interior of the children's office, introductory visits, cartoons during procedures, toys and certificates as gifts, as well as colored fillings for baby teeth – all this turns your child's visit to us into a joyful and exciting adventure.
Our dentistry offers gentle and safe methods that allow for painless and effective treatment of caries in children. Remember, proper and timely treatment of baby tooth caries prevents the spread of infection, preserves space for permanent teeth, and promotes the harmonious development of the entire dentofacial system. Seeing a pediatric dentist at the first signs of tooth decay or discomfort helps avoid complications and gives your child a positive experience of visiting the doctor, which is extremely important for their entire future life. In addition, you can pay for the cost of treating tooth decay in children in installments and without overpaying.
Causes of tooth decay in children's milk teeth
The main factor in the development of caries in young children is poor oral hygiene. Food debris and sweets quickly cause the destruction of enamel, which is thinner in children than in adults. Diet also plays an important role—excess sugar in drinks and food accelerates the appearance of plaque. The development of caries is also associated with a lack of fluoride, weak immunity, and hereditary predisposition. If parents do not pay attention to prevention, the risk of developing baby tooth decay increases dramatically.
Types and methods of treating caries in children
The choice of treatment for caries in young children depends on the stage of tooth decay and is selected by the doctor individually after examination. Our pediatric dentist has all the modern medical technologies at her disposal to preserve the health of baby teeth and prevent possible complications.
Treatment of early caries
If only white or chalky spots are found on the enamel, non-invasive remineralization therapy is used. The teeth are coated with special calcium and fluoride compounds, which strengthen the enamel and stop the development of caries without drilling. This method is often used to treat early stages of baby tooth decay.
Treatment of superficial and moderate caries
When hard tooth tissue is damaged, the dentist gently treats the carious cavity and places a filling. All patients at our dental clinic receive fillings made from the most modern composite materials. For children, we offer colored fillings. Kids like them and perceive them as "cool" decorations.
Treatment of deep caries in baby teeth
If the damage has reached the deep layers of the dentin, it is necessary to remove the damaged tissue as carefully as possible and isolate the pulp with special pads. After that, a filling is placed. This approach allows the tooth to be preserved until it is naturally replaced and prevents the development of complications. In such cases, children can also be given colored fillings.
Treatment of caries in the front baby teeth
Caries in young children often affects the front teeth. In this case, treatment is not only medically important, but also aesthetically important. To restore teeth in the smile zone, we use gentle preparation methods and special materials that restore the tooth's natural color and shape. If the child wants their teeth to be colorful after treatment and the parents do not object, colored fillings can also be placed on them.
Our specialists recommend using sedation when treating caries in children. This is especially important for young patients who are afraid of dental procedures.
Caries treatment with sedation is always supervised by an anesthesiologist. This ensures the safety of the procedure and relieves stress for young patients and their parents. It also allows the dentist to perform the treatment as quickly and efficiently as possible.
