CANDIDATES
When is it necessary to treat a milk tooth?
Baby teeth play an important role in chewing, speech, and maintaining space for permanent teeth. Therefore, it is not always a good idea to just wait for them to fall out if tooth decay or other damage has developed.
Treatment may be recommended if:
Treatment may be recommended if:
-
notice a dark or white change on a tooth
-
there is a visible small hole or damage
-
The child is complaining of pain or tenderness.
-
Tooth hurts when eating or from cold and sweet
-
A swelling or change has appeared on the gum
-
A piece of the tooth broke off
-
you want to prevent the spread of decay to deeper parts of the tooth
Why is it important to treat primary teeth?
Baby teeth preserve space for permanent teeth and participate in the development of chewing, speech, and bite.
Untreated caries can progress towards the interior of the tooth and lead to pain, inflammation, or early loss of a primary tooth.
The goal of the treatment is to preserve the tooth until it is naturally replaced by its permanent successor, if this is justified considering the condition of the tooth.

What happens if a cavity in a primary tooth is left untreated?
A small cavity does not have to cause symptoms immediately, but over time it can become deeper.
If it affects the interior of the tooth, the treatment can become more complex, and in certain cases, the tooth can no longer be saved.
Therefore, the treatment plan is determined not only by whether the tooth hurts today, but also by the child's age, the depth of the lesion, and the time remaining until natural exfoliation.

Yes, in certain cases. Baby teeth preserve space for permanent teeth and are important for chewing, speech, and bite development.
It may appear as a white, brown or dark discoloration, a visible cavity or damage. Sometimes the child has no symptoms at all.
The procedure is adapted to the type of intervention and the child's age. When necessary, local anesthesia can be used to reduce discomfort.
We adapt our approach to the child's pace and strive to avoid forcing things when it is not an emergency. Sometimes multiple visits are necessary to build trust.
A deep infection of a primary tooth can affect the surrounding tissues, which is why it is important to assess the condition and treat the problem in a timely manner.
Extraction may be recommended when a tooth can no longer be reliably treated, if there is an extensive infection, or if it is very close to natural replacement. The decision is made on an individual basis.
Premature loss can affect the available space for the permanent tooth. Depending on the age and position of the tooth, additional evaluation may be necessary.
Regular tooth brushing, proper nutrition, check-ups, and preventive procedures such as fissure sealing when indicated are important.
