It is proven beyond doubt that early care and preventive measures help kids have a good and healthy set of teeth. At Dentista it is our top most priority to create a warm inviting atmosphere for the child making him/her feel at home.
1. Preventive treatment:
• Pit and fissure sealants
• Fluoride application
At Dentista we carry out number of procedures including preventive treatments such as pit and fissure sealants and fluoride treatments for kids! The chewing surfaces of the back teeth are rough and uneven because they have small pits and grooves. They tend to accumulate food and bacteria. Sealants are thin plastic coatings which are painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Fluoride treatments make teeth more resistant to decay.
2. Restorative treatment:
- Pulpotomy : When decay reaches the nerve of a baby tooth, the infected portion of the nerve needs to be removed. This procedure is called a pulpotomy and is best described as a “mini” root canal treatment. This procedure is much quicker than root canal therapy performed on permanent teeth and will be completed during the same appointment: a stainless steel crown is placed on the tooth to achieve coronal seal, safeguard the mini or just root canal and protects remainder of the tooth structure.
- Crowns: Crowns provide full coverage and durability to the tooth that is root canal treated. Additionally, when cavities cover more than one-third of the tooth structure or a patient is very young, the crown is the restorative material of choice.
3. Tooth coloured fillings: A dental filling is a dental restorative material used to restore the function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure. A composite (white) filling is a tooth-coloured material used to fill small cavities in teeth.
4. Space maintainers: When baby teeth in the back of the mouth are lost to decay or abscess more than a few months before they should be lost naturally, the space for the permanent tooth will be lost to the adjacent teeth unless an appliance is placed to keep the space open. This is an orthodontic appliance used to prevent the loss of space or the shifting of teeth following extraction or premature loss of teeth. This appliance will be fit and cemented into your child’s mouth when necessary and removed as the permanent teeth erupt into position.
