Dental cleaning
Dental cleaning, also known as prohylaxis, is a process used to remove plaque and calculus completely from teeth(including in between teeth and around the gum line) with a scaler.

The goal is to prevent the
advancement of dental disorders including gingivitis and caries. Only a thorough cleaning at the dentist’s office
will be able to eliminate the calculus after it has developed. Once the teeth are clear of calculus, any remaining
yellowish areas are removed with a strong electric brush. Professional cleanings can be performed twice a year,
they use a toothpaste that smells like regular toothpaste but has a gritty consistency that scrubs and polishes the
teeth. Scrubbing or brushing the teeth at home with an abrasive product is not advised because it will erode the
enamel.
Fluoride
Fluoride may be applied following the cleaning procedure. For several months, the child's teeth are shielded from cavities with the help of this treatment.

Fluoride varnish is applied directly to the teeth using a little
brush, much like when painting. The patient can eat and drink right away following the application because this
varnish will solidify when it comes into touch with saliva.
Cavities arise due to a deterioration in the mineral makeup of the tooth enamel. Fluoride helps prevent
cavities by encouraging the remineralization of these decalcified areas. Certain bodies of water naturally contain
low levels of fluoride. Fluoridation of municipal water sources is frequently done to a set specified amount.
Several household items, including toothpaste, mouthwash, and even some bottled water, also contain fluoride.
To determine how much fluoride the patient needs, the dentist will keep an eye on how the child’s teeth
are developing. Fluoride levels are generally carefully balanced between being too high and too low. Too much
fluoride can cause fluorosis in developing teeth, but not enough fluoride makes teeth more prone to decay in
children.
sealants
Sealants are thin, white plastic coatings, applying them to the chewing surfaces of molars as soon as they erupt, is a very efficient way to stop dental decay.

Plaque can frequently accumulate in the naturally formed pits
and grooves on teeth’s biting surfaces. In kids and teenagers, these tiny fissures and grooves are most prone to
cavities and have the least benefit from topical fluoride treatments. Fluoride and sealants combine to help stop
tooth decay. When properly maintained, sealants can last anywhere from five to ten years. The dentist will verify
that the sealants are still in place at each dental examination. Avoid giving the kid crunchy food, chewing on ice,
and hard candies to extend the life of their sealants.
Composite resin
When aesthetic appearance is crucial, tooth-colored fillings are utilized to restore one or front or back teeth. Composites are used to fix decaying areas and/or broken teeth.

The composite restorative material’s shade is intended to closely resemble the color of the original teeth
stainless steel crowns
When molars are too severely deteriorated to support a utilized to reconstruct the tooth.

Untreated dental decay on molars can cause considerable damage to the dentin, enamel, and occasionally even the nerve (pulp) of the tooth. To stop more damage until the natural loss of these
teeth, these prefabricated crowns in a silver hue are fitted over the primary teeth and put in place.
pulp treatment (pULPOTOMY)
The treatment for infected blood vessels and nerves in teeth is pulpotomy.

Generally, there are two situations in which pulp therapy is required: either severe tooth decay (dental cavities) or a tooth injury. Generally, there are two
situations in which pulp therapy is required: either severe tooth decay (dental cavities) or a tooth injury. If the
required pulp therapy is not given, the child may suffer from discomfort, infection, swelling, or perhaps lose the
tooth.
Many cavities can be so deep that they reach the nerve, which frequently results in pain and suffering.
When this occurs, the affected nerve segment needs to be removed. The residual healthy nerve will be preserved
and given medication. The goal of a pulpotomy is to prolong the tooth’s life until the permanent tooth erupts,
preventing the necessity for an extraction and space maintenance.
extractions
Only in the most extreme cases of serious tooth decay are extractions performed.

Premature extraction of
a primary molar will result in the placement of a space maintainer. When there are crowded teeth, some
extractions may be necessary for orthodontic purposes to help with dental alignment. Maintaining the proper space in a child’s jaw for permanent teeth depends on the primary teeth. The tooth is the best space maintainer
space maintainers
When an early primary tooth is lost (or pulled), space maintainers are used to preserve the space neede for the permanent tooth to erupt.
Read MoreLess
Teeth on either side of the extraction site may slide into the space if it is not
maintained, which could delay the permanent tooth from erupting into its correct place. When the permanent
tooth that will replace the extracted tooth erupts, the space maintainer will be taken out of the child’s mouth.
early (iNTERCEPTIVE) ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
With the first permanent molars and anterior permanent teeth erupt, typically around the age of 6 or 7, children should have their first orthodontic consultation.

The orthodontist can actively intervene to guide the
teeth as they emerge in the mouth and can recognize malocclusion (crowded or crooked teeth) or bite issues.
Treatment with interceptive orthodontics can avoid the need for later, more involved procedures. Regular dental
exams are a safe way for the dentist to monitor how a child’s bite and jaw development are progressing. This
early evaluation of the child’s teeth could help to avoid the need for significant orthodontic treatment later on.
