Children’s pediatric dentistry

Caring for a child’s health is characteristic of all loving parents. Requires attention everything that happens with the baby, a preschooler, a teenager. We remind all moms and dads that the full development of the whole organism is impossible without the proper development time (“milk”) and permanent teeth. The our clinic Smile Line observed children from zero and up and each age category of young patients is careful attention and professional assistance.

 

How to properly take care of the dental health of the child ?

 

Watch as smiling baby – it’s so nice! But even nicer to know that the baby teeth are not only beautiful, but also healthy.Teeth can get sick at any age, disease of adults and children are almost identical, but there are also features in their development. Since primary teeth enamel is softer, and then decay in children’s teeth develop much faster. In addition, in many cases, it takes absolutely painless, so no complaints in a child is not an indicator of dental health. It is important to regularly visit the dentist, since the advent of the very first teeth. After all, only an experienced specialist can diagnose the onset of the disease and do everything to prevent its further development.

 

What can I do for the health of her baby teeth?

 

First, you must own example to show the child that look after their teeth naturally to humans. Brush your teeth together, to each other, turn the process into a merry daily ritual. It is important not to miss a single cleaning, for any reason. The child must see that you never miss a procedure! Even if you are tired, do not say “nothing will clean more thoroughly tomorrow, and go to sleep now.”

 

Let the kid watches his toothbrush when it is time to change. Buy with toothpastes that he himself chose, what flavor it choose. When child gets older, you can teach him how to use an toothbrush . If the child becomes so habitual that, even as a teenager he would be able to take care of their teeth, thereby reducing the risk of caries. Professional  dental procedure offers ultrasonic cleaning of the oral cavity . On the need for this procedure, you can consult with a our doctor, observing the child.

 

Why treat baby teeth?

 

Compliance with all the rules of oral hygiene does not guarantee that a person will never have tooth decay or gum disease. Poor water quality, unbalanced diet, genetic predisposition, stress – all this increases the risk of kariesa.K Unfortunately, even in today’s world, many parents believe that once the tooth is unstable, then treat it optional.Especially if the teeth have already begun to change, and “they do not have long.”

 

Let’s look at some reasons for the presence of the patient’s tooth in the mouth is not acceptable:

1. Availability rudiments of permanent teeth . Molars do not grow “out of nowhere.” Under the baby teeth are already the beginnings of permanent teeth. In the presence of caries acid produced by pathogenic organisms may damage them.

2. Pain . Even baby teeth may start to hurt badly, then treat the baby will be much harder.

3. Immunosuppression . Caries – a hotbed of infection, which reduces the overall immune system and can lead to chronic diseases of the oral cavity and pharynx.

4. Changing bite . If a child loses because of tooth decay tooth sooner than they should, the remaining teeth will move to close the “hole”, thus can shift the rudiments of the molars and prevent them from developing normally.

5. Halitosis . Yes, tooth decay causes bad breath, because of which the child may have problems with friends and peers.

 

As you can see, because of the baby tooth decay, the child may be a lot of nasty problems.

 

Dear Parents, protect your children’s health in the prevention and treatment of teeth in a timely manner, and your children will thank you with beautiful white smile!

SMILE LINE offer following Pediatric Dentistry Treatments for child

 

Oral hygiene training and professional Cleaning

 

Doctor determines hygienic index. You will see a colored plaque – it is the most crowded areas of plaque.The doctor then removes the plaque, polish the surface of the teeth professional pastes pick-care oral, tell and show you how to brush your teeth.If professional cleaning is needed ( in case of poor oral hygiene Index ) it will be done with extra care .

 

Fissure sealing

 

Fissures – it folds and grooves on the enamel surface. Each person has a different pattern of fissures, but a common feature is the ability of plaque stuck in the folds of enamel. Microorganisms of the oral cavity, recycling plaque forming acid, corroding tooth. So caries. This is easily avoided by fissure sealing. Very important to this procedure early after tooth eruption, as in this period poorly mineralized enamel, therefore, more susceptible to decay.
How sealed fissures? First, the coronal portion of the tooth brush and cleaned with a special paste Treat tooth color gel for deeper cleaning enamel Apply special preparation – sealant and distribute it to fissure Material strengthen special lamp light, after which the surface of the tooth becomes flat and smooth. NB! Monitor the quality of the sealant must commit at least once a year.

 

Deep fluoridation 

 

Deep fluoridation which protects the newly erupted teeth and have a tooth that has been damaged as a “chalky spots” from the effects of plaque, food acids, carbohydrates. Particles of this substance is so small that penetrate into the structure of enamel, creating a protective film, continuing for six months.Course of treatment should be at least two years (four treatments with a frequency of 1 every six months) provided good oral hygiene. Usually young children with multiple destruction of tooth enamel using two sessions with an interval of 7-10 days.

 

Treatment of caries

 

We perform caries treatment of primary and permanent teeth.
Small cavities localized in the fissure area, treated with fissure sealing. For this purpose special tools by which reduced to a minimum the ability to remove damaged enamel during formation of carious access to the plane.
Cavities other sites reveal special burs for minimal invasion, which gently remove the tooth enamel and dentin.

 

Treatment of pulpitis and periodontitis

 

In preschool children treated pulpits in baby teeth is carried out in several small visits, to achieve good results and reduce the likelihood of complications. Treatment of pulpitis in school children in permanent teeth already having immature roots, performed using sterile calcium hydroxide – To successfully cure a tooth, parents should be aware that medical supervision for the child should be systematic: it is necessary will be a reception at the appointed time for X-ray and replacement treatment paste in the root canal. This will ensure continuity of the formation of roots and retain health surrounding the tooth.
Children older treatment pulpits with formed roots carried out in accordance with the rules of endodontic treatment (as in adults – anesthesia, X-ray, endometrial study manual, drug treatment channel, canal filling with using gutta-percha).

 

Periodontitis of primary and permanent teeth in the absence of contraindications, undergo therapeutic treatment.

 

Sealing

 

For sealing the temporary teeth are used glass ionomer cements and compomer. Permanent teeth before sealing composite materials.

 

Aesthetics

 

For adolescent patients who have completed the formation of roots, possibly correcting aesthetic defects: a defect of color, shape or size of the crown of the teeth can be corrected after applying composite esthetic restoration. For these patients, there is also the opportunity to decorate a smile and give it a personal touch with tooth jewelry. Fixing decoration is very simple, their application and subsequent removal does not harm the hard tissues of the tooth, but rather a girl or boy to a more thorough dental care.

 

TEETH INJURIES IN CHILDREN

An injured immature tooth may need one of the following procedures to improve the chances of saving the tooth:

Apexogenesis

This procedure encourages the root to continue development as the pulp is healed. Soft tissue is covered with medication to encourage growth. The tip of the root (apex) will continue to close as the child gets older. In turn, the walls of the root canal will thicken. If the pulp heals, no additional treatment will be necessary. The more mature the root becomes, the better the chance to save the tooth.

Apexification

In this case, the unhealthy pulp is removed. The doctors place medication into the root to help a hard tissue form near the root tip. This hardened tissue provides a barrier for the root canal filling. At this point, the root canal walls will not continue to develop, making the tooth susceptible to fractures. So it is important to have the tooth properly restored by your dentist.
