Milk Teeth (Primary Teeth):
Milk teeth, also known as primary teeth, play a vital role in a child’s development. They help with proper chewing, speech development, and maintaining space for permanent teeth. It’s essential to care for milk teeth to prevent decay and ensure the healthy development of permanent teeth.
Filling of Milk Teeth:
If a milk tooth develops decay, it may require a filling to restore its function and prevent further damage. Pediatric dentists use materials that are safe for children and can effectively restore the tooth’s structure.
Root Canal and Crowns for Milk Teeth:
In cases of extensive decay or infection in a milk tooth, a pediatric dentist may recommend a root canal treatment. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp inside the tooth and sealing it to prevent further infection. Crowns may also be used to cover and protect the tooth after a root canal.
Space Maintainer Appliances:
When a milk tooth is lost prematurely, a space maintainer appliance may be used to preserve the space for the permanent tooth and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting into the space. This helps ensure proper alignment of permanent teeth.
Habit-breaking Appliances:
Some children develop habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting, which can affect dental health and the alignment of teeth. Habit-breaking appliances are designed to help children break these habits and promote proper oral development.
With our expertise in pediatric dental care and our dedication to providing the highest quality of service, Dr. Sanjay Kalra Dental Clinic is your trusted partner in ensuring the lifelong dental health of your child.
