Just because primary teeth fall out and are eventually replaced by permanent teeth, care for them isn’t any less important. As a matter of fact, taking care of your children’s primary teeth can be the single most effective type of dental care, as they are a vital part of your child’s speech and eating habits.
In primary teeth, cavities can sometimes require pulpectomy or root canal therapy, which is a quick — yet avoidable — procedure. When a cavity becomes so deep that is touches the nerve, pulpectomy or root canal therapy is necessary to remove the irritated part of the nerve. In most cases, a numbing solvent is applied so your child’s experience in the dentist chair is not traumatizing or scary. The procedure is extremely effective is preventing and getting rid of infection, and ultimately saving your child’s tooth.
Primary teeth should be kept as long as possible to avoid misalignment in permanent teeth. If taken care of properly, primary teeth can help prevent the orthopedic corrections later in life. Teaching your child how to care for their teeth at home is just as important as taking them to the dentist at least twice a year for a routine cleaning and check up.
When cavities are spotted in primary teeth, dentists will use filling for smaller situations and crowns for larger cavities. Crowns for children’s teeth are often pre-made from stainless steel and can be applied and sealed in one appointment. Having these procedures done can often be scary for young children.
