At What Ages Does Pediatric Dentistry Treat Patients?

Pediatric dentistry is a process that lasts from the age of 6 months until the last adult teeth erupt. A child will continue to erupt their adult teeth until they are 12 or 13 years old. Many parents prefer that their children continue to see a pediatric dentist well into their teen years. Pediatric dentists are more experienced with issues related to adolescent oral development than general dentists.

What are the causes of tooth decay in children?

Tooth decay is caused by foods containing bacteria, chemicals, carbohydrates (sugar and starch). Such foods include milk, soda, raisins, sweets, cakes, juices, cereals and bread. Bacteria that normally live in the mouth change these foods to form acids. The combination of bacteria, food, acid, and saliva creates a substance called plaque that sticks to the teeth. Over time, the acids produced by the bacteria eat the tooth enamel, causing cavities.

What does Fissure sealant do?

Fissure sealants are a white or transparent composite resin similar to a white dental filling. The materials used provide a barrier against bacteria that can cause plaque. It is designed to prevent dental caries and cavities.

How often should children be taken to the dentist?

After your child’s first visit to the pediatric dentist, you may be wondering when your next visit should be. It’s important to consider several factors when deciding how often your child will see the dentist. Regular dental care for your child In general, children should visit the dentist at least every 6 months. This ensures regular dental care is performed by the pediatric dentist, including dental exams, cleanings, fluoride therapy, and x-rays. If your child has a healthy and uneventful examination, this does not mean that you will not go to the dentist again for 12 months. Failure to visit your dentist regularly can leave important dental hygiene problems unchecked, including tooth decay, hidden cavities and inflammation. Regular 6-month checkups will allow your dentist to determine if your child’s brushing habits are effective, whether he is brushing too hard or not enough, and whether he has cavities that are difficult to diagnose.

What are the applications made to children by the dentist?

Treatment will depend on your child’s symptoms, age, and general health. It also depends on how severe the case is.

In most cases, treatment requires removing the decayed portion of the tooth and replacing it with a filling.
Fillings are materials placed in teeth to repair damage caused by tooth decay. They are also called restoration. There are different types of fillers:

Direct restorations: It is the method used to place a filling in a formed cavity. These fillings are made of silver, fine glass powders, acrylic acids or resin. They are usually tooth-coloured.

Indirect restorations. These may require 2 or more examinations. These include inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns and bridges. They are made with gold, base metal alloys, ceramics or composites.

FAQ
