Restorative Dentistry
When it comes to restorative dentistry for children, ensuring a gentle approach is fundamental. Kids' teeth are different from adults', and so are the solutions we provide. We offer a variety of restorative options tailored to young patients, including:
Zirconia Crowns
These durable, tooth-coloured crowns are perfect for children who need a little extra protection for their teeth. They blend in beautifully with natural teeth, making them a great option for shy children looking for a more discreet solution.
Stainless Steel Crowns
For molars that need more strength, stainless steel crowns are a reliable option. They are designed to withstand the wear and tear of chewing while providing excellent protection.
Fillings
If your child has a cavity, we offer tooth-coloured fillings that are both effective and aesthetically pleasing. This can help your child feel comfortable and confident about their smile, contributing to a positive experience.
Preventative Care
Prevention is fundamental to maintaining your child's dental health. Our preventative care services focus on keeping those little teeth healthy and cavity-free. We offer a wide range of preventive care services, including:
Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, ensuring your child's teeth stay healthy and bright.
Sealants
Dental sealants are a fantastic way to protect your child's molars from cavities. This thin, protective coating helps keep food and bacteria from settling in the grooves of their teeth.
Preventative Restoration
For teeth that are at risk of decay, we provide preventive restoration options to strengthen and protect them before issues arise.
How Can Parents Help Prevent Tooth Decay?
To effectively prevent tooth decay, optimal hygiene and regular dental visits are crucial. Parents should take their children to their pediatric dentist regularly, beginning with the eruption of the first tooth. The pediatric dental team can provide thorough examinations and efficient preventive care. Additionally, your pediatric dentist can recommend a program of brushing, flossing, and other treatments so that you can supervise and teach your child at home. This can greatly contribute to the prevention of dental issues, such as tooth decay and cavities.
Toothpaste: When Should We Begin, and How Much Should We Use?
If your child is unable to spit out all of their toothpaste, then a non-fluoridated toothpaste should be used. When fluoridated toothpaste is used, parents should supervise brushing and make sure the child uses no more than a pea-sized amount on the brush. Children should spit out excess toothpaste after brushing, not swallow it.
