SOME TIPS BEFORE TAKING YOUR CHILD FOR RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Restorative dentistry is a dental treatment usually carried out by a dental specialist to restore or renew a missing tooth or teeth that are decayed or infected. The goal of this treatment at the end of the day is to fix dull or decayed tooth or teeth.
As a parent to the child, you have to take the child to meet a toddler dentist. Toddler dentists are specially trained and equipped to handle young patients. Restorative dentistry is recommended, when the dentist is trying to prevent further damage from affecting the teeth.
Things To Know While Taking Your Child For Restorative Dentistry This type of treatment is carried out when there is a hole in the affected tooth. The dentist will take clean the decayed tooth then fill it with a filling. These fillings come in different types, and some are metallic fillings.
Crowns:
This type of treatment is usually done when the tooth is badly decayed. Dental crowns help to fix the shape, sometimes the size and strength of the affected tooth. Here, the dentist shapes the crown into what looks like the tooth has been replaced. This crown is placed on the toddlers' teeth to help protect the primary teeth until it is time for the secondary teeth to erupt.
Dental Implants:
Dental implants usually have roots that come with crowns. Due to the nature of the implant, the surgeon will need to inject the child with dental implant sedation to keep him calm all through the section. This is required in case of missing primary teeth or tooth loss due to any number of reasons.
