Pediatric Dentistry (Pedodontics)
Children's dental health: preventive and restorative care together
Pediatric dentistry focuses on healthy eruption, protection and restoration of primary and young permanent teeth. Early preventive care directly affects a child's comfort today and oral health in the future. Below we detail primary tooth fillings and fissure sealants with the questions parents most often ask.
01 - Primary Tooth Filling
Why should cavities in primary teeth be treated?
A common misconception is that baby teeth can be ignored because they will fall out. However, primary teeth are critical for healthy nutrition, proper speech development and guiding permanent teeth into the correct position. Untreated decay can cause pain, infection, difficulty eating and damage to developing permanent teeth.
When is a primary tooth filling done?
- Early-stage cavities
- Loss of tooth structure after fracture or trauma
- Restoring chewing function and comfort
How is it applied?
- Decay is cleaned and the tooth is shaped.
- A child-friendly restorative material is applied.
- Filling is shaped to restore natural function and form.
Comfort and trust
We approach children calmly with age-appropriate explanations and a gentle technique to build trust.
02 - Fissure Sealant Application
What is a fissure sealant?
Fissure sealants protect the deep grooves on chewing surfaces of molars from decay by sealing them with a thin protective layer.
When is it recommended?
- After first permanent molars erupt
- In children with high cavity risk
- When deep grooves are difficult to clean
Benefits
Sealants significantly reduce the risk of cavities and are a quick, painless procedure.
