Restorative Pediatric Dentistry Explained

Dr. Chegini of Arsmiles Family and Cosmetic Dentistry emphasizes the significance of restorative dentistry for children, which involves accurately diagnosing common dental issues and saving damaged teeth from decay, infection, or trauma.

Having the proper diagnosis is critical to stop and treat these matters, particularly in the case of primary or baby teeth. Preserving primary teeth guarantees a complete set of permanent teeth with both aesthetics and functionality.

This is because if these teeth are not conserved, the back teeth can shift forward and prevent the eruption of the permanent teeth that have yet to come out.

Keeping the infant’s teeth helps ensure that the permanent teeth have the required space to grow and appear at a suitable time. Therefore, the child can have a complete set of healthy permanent teeth that will last their lifetime.

Circumstances In Which Your Child May Need Restorative Dentistry

Your child may require restorative procedures to restore and renew their smile if they suffer from tooth decay, commonly known as dental caries or plaque. This bacterial infection not only harms the tooth structure but can also cause pain, sensitivity, and in severe cases, an infection.

If not treated promptly, the decay can worsen and cause further damage, leading to severe and potentially permanent consequences. To prevent this, it is essential to seek out therapeutic procedures to repair the damage from the decay, refresh the smile, and ensure the child’s teeth remain healthy and strong.

Restorative dentistry also resolves issues such as:

• Missing teeth caused by trauma or congenital disabilities
• Broken teeth caused by an injury or accident
• Teeth that are malformed or poorly positioned

Why Choose Restorative Dentistry?

Dr. Chegini can determine if your child would benefit from restorative pediatric dentistry. This procedure is designed to maintain the health and aesthetics of primary and permanent teeth, utilizing tooth-colored fillings, bondings, pulpotomies, and crowns.

If a primary tooth is prematurely lost, a space maintainer crafted by a dental laboratory can be placed in the mouth to preserve the space until the permanent tooth is ready to emerge.
