Treatment for Children
Trauma and anterior restorations: a number of children lose their front teeth or part of their tooth (fracture) in a faceward fall. This requires immediate treatment. Loss of a front tooth can also have a psychological impact on the child and parent. The number one cause of trauma in children is protrusive teeth. This can also be prevented if your dentist diagnoses at an early stage that your child’s teeth are protrusive.
Pit and fissure sealants: some teeth have slightly deeper pits and fissures that may lead to food getting lodged and a future cavity. Filling them early with a sealant is a non-invasive and effective way to keep them cavity free.
Flouride application: In children who are prone to caries and have a high DMFT index, fluoride application is done to prevent caries.
