Generally, people think milk teeth are temporary and need not be saved. However, milk teeth are essential in developing your child’s eating and speaking habits. They are also the guiding posts for the adult permanent teeth. Early loss or delayed shedding will lead to an altered eruption path for adult teeth. Change in the path will lead to misaligned teeth and altered bite. Taking care of your children’s milk teeth is best to avoid such complications. It is important to supervise their brushing technique when they start initially. To keep the mouth healthy, you must clean the area with sterile gauze in toddlers. In the information provided below, let us discuss the common problems and their solutions- brought to you by Laconic Dental Studio Pune
If the decay is limited to the upper layers of the teeth, then fillings are advised. If the decay has reached the tooth’s innermost layer, the nerves, and vessels, it leads to immense pain. If a permanent tooth is not formed, it is advisable to save it with pulp therapy. Otherwise, if it is evident radiologically that the permanent tooth is on the verge of eruption, the damaged milk tooth can be planned for extraction. The decision for extraction or pulp therapy is made after examining the tooth clinically and radiologically by our experts at Laconic Dental Studio Pune
When the lesion is in the initial stage and has not reached the tooth’s pulp, we can fill it for your child.
When the lesion advances to the innermost layer and causes pain, pulp therapy is indicated. Pulp therapies can be of various types depending on the stage of the lesion. Getting a complete clinical and radiographic analysis done by our experts is essential to know the best treatment.
Milk teeth guide their successors during the eruption. When planning their extraction, it is essential to note the growth of the adult teeth radiologically. If the milk teeth need to be extracted and the adult teeth are not ready to erupt, then space maintainers are planned.
If the tooth cannot be saved and the time required for permanent teeth to erupt is more than six months, we need to save the space created by the loss of milk teeth. They are devices that prevent the space created by the loss of milk teeth from closing. Maintaining the space is crucial for the eruption of permanent adult teeth to occur in a timely and correct position.
Fluoride is an essential mineral that makes teeth resistant to decay. When kids are prone to more caries, fluoride is applied to their teeth in gel or liquid form to create a barrier against decay.
The milk teeth have deep pits and fissures that are prone to decay. Food lodgement and bacterial colonization in these grooves are possible. Pit and fissure sealant therapy forms a barrier that helps prevent such bacterial growth.
