Dental decay in any milk tooth should be treated at an early age to prevent its further progression towards the pulp of the teeth. Once the pulp is infected due to deep cavities in milk tooth it cases pain and swelling in gums. Such milk tooth can be restored or treated by doing “Root Canal Treatment.”
If any decay is seen in Milk tooth then following treatments can be done depending on the severity of the decay:
- Tooth color fillings
- Root canal treatment
- Crowns
Best home care is brushing the milk teeth twice a day with kids “tooth pastes” like Tooth Mousse (GC), Kidodent, Hoplin (STIM) etc. Its necessary to inculcate the habit of brushing twice daily and flossing from a very early age. Milk teeth require attention as they are prone to caries. Milk teeth are important as they provide a guiding pathway for permamnent teeth so they can erupt in correct position at particular age range.
At “Aryas Dental and Implant Clinic” the doctors emphasizes on preventive dental care for kids is important to protect their “Milk teeth or Primary teeth” from decay. Pit and fissure sealants are used to block the deep grooves in molars of milk teeth thus preventing food lodgement on the upper surfaces of teeth. Fluoride application at an interval of every 6 months is also a preventive regimen.
